A former governorship candidate in Rivers State and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Tonye Princewill, has advised Governor Nyesom Wike to tackle filth in Port Harcourt and its environs.

He appealed to the governor to spread development to all parts of the state, to check migration from rural areas to Port Harcourt.

RPrincewill, who contested the governorship election in 2015 on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), spoke in Port Harcourt.

He said indiscriminate disposal of refuse had created a sorry sight in Port Harcourt.

Princewill added: “I drove in the other day and as I was driving into Port Harcourt when I saw the streets. I was so happy that one of my business partners did not follow me because I don’t know how I would have explained it.

“There was filth to my left, filth to my right and filth in the median. There is filth all over the place. The reality is that the place is dirty. It doesn’t show that the government is working.”
