A former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representative, Rt. Hon. Chibudom Nwuche, has urged key political stakeholders in Rivers State to support the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr. Nyesom Wike, as he continues to pilot his national assignment, in Abuja.
The former federal lawmaker made the call while playing host to the Chairman of Ahoada East Local Government Area, Chief Ben Eke and other top political stakeholders in Ekpeye kingdom.
Receiving the political leaders at his hometown in Ochigba Community, in Ahoada-East, Nwuche charged the politicians in the state to be consistent in their interest, especially in supporting the former governor to attract federal presence in the state.

Nwuche also urged the people of Ekpeye ethnic nationality to stand by their son-in-law, Wike, whom he said has done so much for the people, and that they should not forget the days of his good relationship with the people of the area.
He also maintained that Wike is an in-law of the Ekpeye people, saying that “his wife Hon Justice Suzette Eberechi Wike, is our daughter, and that we owe him unalloyed commitment and support.”
“Among the landmark projects Wike accomplished in Ekpeye land include the reconstruction and dualisation of the Ahoada/ Omoku road by Julius Berger; the construction of the Ozochi road with bridges by Setraco; the construction of the Ogbo/Ihugbogo and Odiemudie roads by Interglobal, and the ongoing reconstruction of the Ahoada Internal roads, the Ekpena road, the Ochigba Road; the location of a campus of Rivers State University at Ahoada, Odioku internal roads, reconstruction and expansion of county high school etc, amongst several other projects.”
