The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has described the award given to Governor Nyesom Wike on infrastructure as confirmation of leadership excellence.
Congratulating the governor on the award presented to him by President Muhammadu Buhari Friday, the CUPP said that the gesture speaks volumes about the visionary leadership Wike has delivered for his people.
The Coalition in a statement by its spokesman, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere said the recognition of the governor’s outstanding performances have set a useful benchmark.
The CUPP said that Wike is now in the league of Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Mbakwe in intergenerational projects.
The opposition noted that the proposed award is a direct confirmation of the tremendous leadership of the governor.
The CUPP said: “Wike is not stranger to the receipt of awards due to his service of the state.
“We commend President Muhammadu Buhari for recognising Wike’s contributions to the development of Rivers State through the provision of quality infrastructure.
“Buhari has demonstrated uncommon political maturity for inclining towards the Rivers State Chief Executive for the award among other governors in the country, despite coming from an opposition party.
“This gesture speaks volumes about the visionary leadership the governor has delivered for his people.”
