Nyesom Wike, the Rivers State governor, has appointed a massive 14,000 political advisers for various political units in the state just as preparations for the 2023 general election kicks off.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Special Assistant on Media to the governor, Mr Kelvin Ebiri, and made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt.
The governor’s media aide explained that the advisers will play a pivotal role in the administration.
Though none of names of the new appointees were mentioned, it is believed that the development is connected to the 2023 governorship election in the state.
It could also mean that Governor Wike may tactically be fulfilling his promise of ‘stomach infrastructure’ to the people, as his tenure winds down.
The statement reads, “In addition to the 14,000 advisers, Governor Wike has also appointed 319 Ward Liaison officers and 40 Local Government Area Liaison Officers.
“The appointments are with immediate effect.”
