“I mean well for Rivers State and I will ensure that Ubima’s development deficiencies are addressed. It is unfortunate that you have a son as governor, but he has abandoned you. All projects in this community have been abandoned just like in other communities in Rivers State. Development will return to Rivers State from 2015”, he said.
