He stressed that their mandate includes collating impressions and passing them on as feedback through the 319 Ward and 82 Constituency Liaison Officers recently appointed, who would then deliver same to him.

Wike added: “Now your own is the most important because you hear directly from the people. You know the feelings of the people about us. You are the one that will come and tell us, ‘look, this is what my people are saying.

“This is a political period, hear from the people. What are they saying? So, you’ll be able to advise the governor, so I will know what decision to take. It is you who will determine what decision the people of Rivers State will take at the end of the day.”
