The governor gave the assurance shortly after signing the River State Appropriation Bill into law. Wicke said everything will be put in place to ensure the state has enabling resources to execute and implement what is provided for in the budget. We hear the ground running from January 1st. And so we think that what you've done is to give support to the Residue Council to render good services to the people of the state. This year is to be very political turbulent and it affects the performance of every budget. We want to assure you that we do all we can to make sure at least we achieve not less than 80% of the implementation of the budget. Believing that God willing we get the necessary resources. Speaker of the River State House of Assembly, Akim Yawaji Bani, acknowledged a robust collaboration that existed between the Executive and the Legislature. He noted that Governor Wicke has brought dynamism to governance in applying practical ideas and solutions to problems besetting the society. Governance is really taking place in this state under your watch. I want to state it and let me place it on record that what we need is practical solution to the problems besetting society today. It is not theory. Some of the theories propounded by early scholars, they have faded away because times have changed. You are applying practical ideas to governance, that is why your own is different. So most times when you are criticized by those who do not have the benefit of hindsight, do not be distracted because we know that there is governance. Governor Wicke noted that the refusal of President Mohammad Ibu Harry to ascend to the Electoral Art Amendment Bill will have a ripple effect on the polity, particularly if the National Assembly decides to override his veto.
