AS promised some 48 hours ago, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has increased the number of his newly-appointed Special Assistants on Political Units (SAPU) to 200, 000.
Stonix News had reported that Wike appointed 100,000 SAPU on Wednesday in Port Harcourt saddling them with the responsibility of collating and forwarding to him views of the people at the grassroots level on governance.
While inaugurating the last batch of the 100,000 appointees at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Omagwa in Ikwerre Local Government Area on Friday, Wike said he decided to increase the number to accommodate more people, who had shown willingness to work for him.
The governor, who said the gesture was part of the stomach infrastructure he promised the state, asked local government chairmen to return to their domains and identify more people for appointments.
