The 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Tonye Cole, said the state is marred with “poor
governance and regressive politics.”
Cole made this statement on Wednesday while responding to
questions in an interview on The Morning Brief, a programme on Channels
Television.
He lamented that Lagos and Rivers used to be at par, but
that there is now a noticeable chasm between both states.
“There was a time when Rivers and Lagos were at par, but you
take a look at them, you will know that there’s a huge difference, and if you
ask yourself ‘why?’, you’d see that it has to do with politics and governance.
“We have not been governed well as a result of the fact that
we’ve had politics that has, instead of moving us forward, has taken us
backwards. It is because of the character of the people we have had in
government over these last couple of years,” he said.
