The members of the APC in Rivers also said Mr. President has fast-tracked development in the oil rich region.
They also announced that Buhari has been made a honorary son of the Niger Delta.
The Rivers APC chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya said “The Ogoni clean up, which the past administrations including the high corrupt administration of Dr Jonathan though a son of the region wickedly and totally ignored, it will not be out of place therefore if we declare President Muhammadu Buhari as a true friend and son of the Niger Delta region. With this development, all the efforts of Chief Wike to frustrate this exercise now amounts to noting.”

Ikanya also cited the inclusion of the Lagos/Calabar railway project in the 2016 budget, and the planned clean-up of Ogoni land, as some of the many projects the President has embarked on in the region.
Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, recently accused President Muhammadu Buhari of destroying Nigeria’s economy.
