A former governorship candidate in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri, has said the performance of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, in Abuja has exposed what he described as the poor performance of many state governors.

Eradiri, a former President of the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, said Wike had transformed the Federal Capital Territory within the resources available to him in less than four years.

In a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday, the former IYC president also said the FCT minister had bridged the developmental gap between Abuja city and its satellite towns.

The statement read, “Wike’s performance has taught us that the problems of underdevelopment in Nigeria have little or nothing to do with the Federal Government, but a lot to do with many state governors and local government chairmen, who deliberately misuse, misappropriate and misdirect the enormous resources accruing to their states.
