Action Democratic Party (ADP) governorship candidate, Victor
Fingesi, has castigated the Nyesom Wike-led Rivers State Government.
Fingesi spoke on Friday after State ADP Chairman, Kendrick
Christian presented him to the public, NAN reports.
He said the major problem in Rivers was poverty, “which is
the reason we are having increased rate of crime and insecurity”.
The candidate stated that the government generate
N57.3billion annually but more than 1.7 million youths are unemployed.
Fingesi added that the state has over 188,590 out of school
children due to poor leadership.
In his remarks, Christians said the party was tired of bad
governance and decided to give the people a credible alternative.
“We lack good leadership in this state and have suffered a
lot. We want to hand over to the people a good pilot”, he said.
Governor Wike defeated Fingesi in the March 9, 2019
governorship election. The opponent then challenged the outcome of the poll but
his petition was dismissed.
Ruling in October 2019, the Rivers State Governorship
Election Tribunal described it as an adventure to “discover the non-existent”.
Fingesi also took the matter to the Court of Appeal in Port
Harcourt; the appellate court struck out the appeal in December 2019.
