”This is proof that Wike has a large heart and a lover of people of the Niger Delta across state boundaries.
“MOSIEND fully shares the ideals of Governor Wike who has developed infrastructure to a point where he is nicknamed Mr Project.
“MOSIEND is of the view that Gov Wike has distinguished himself as the Spokesman of the Niger Delta haven shown this level of concern to bridge the infrastructure gap outside his home state,” he said.
On the constitution of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC} board, MOSIEND noted that the issue was unnecessarily heating up the polity.
”The constitution of the board of NDDC is the responsibility of the President with the advice of the Governors in the region.
