The executive governor of Rivers State may grab the best sports governor’s award as he puts his credentials in motion by sponsoring and redeeming pledges here and there.
Governor Wike seems to be in line with a plan to claim Nigeria’s best sports supportive governor Award in Buhari’s administration.
The governor of Rivers State over the weekend sponsored the Nigeria u-23 dream team 6 to defeat the Congolese U-23 dream team at Adokiye Amiesiemaka 40,000 sitting capacity stadium as he paid all ticket by the governor for fans and spectators at the march at Port Harcourt on the 19th of July, 2015.
Wike also redeemed the pledge made by his predecessor, Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, 2 million largesse that was promised sports writers of the state in the 19th National Sports Festival event they successfully covered. And added it with a brand new bus to the state swan same day.
Not stopping from there, he again visited Nigeria u-23 dream team 6 and gave out the 30,000 dollars he promised for each goal the players scored. In his gracious normal way, he told the team to extend their stay in Port Harcourt for one more week after the Nigeria Congo match.
Governor Wike has also appealed to the Nigeria Football Federation to give Rivers State more international matched as he said, the state is peaceful and safe for international match.
With what the governor has demonstrated before the world and NFF, Port Harcourt may host more international matches soonest.
Wike maybe crown the best sports supportive governor if records are taken into reckoning. ###
