One of the vibrant political associations under the aegis of Grassroots For Good Governance (GFGG) has given reasons the State Chief Executive, Chief Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike should be re-elected into office for a second term.
In a communiqué jointly signed by the National Coordinator of the group, Madam Princess Joy Kanu and Rivers State Coordinator, Comrade Levi Keenam shortly after its sensitization programme for the PDP candidates towards the forthcoming gubernatorial and State Assembly election on March 09, 2019 the group said the governor has done marvelously well and deserves to be re-elected back in order for him to consolidate on his recorded achievements.
According to her, “For over three months, Gov Wike commissioned over 50 complete projects by his administration which covered all sectors of the economy.
These were people-oriented projects that prominent Nigerians across the country and party leanings were invited to commissioned”.
The National Coordinator, Princess Kanu recalled that these projects include important roads as the Sakpenwa/Bori road and the historic in road into the Island of Opobo Town for the first time.
“The projects also include renovation of secondary and tertiary schools including Rumuokwuta Girls’ Secondary School and the establishment of Medical College in the Rivers State University as well as the transformation and renaming of the Capt. Elechi Amadi Polytechnics, Rumuola as one of his landmark achievements.
Others she noted where the rebuilding of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers Secretariat, Port Harcourt among others.
The GFGG also recalled the building of Judges quarters and setting up of other infrastructure for both the courts and the Nigerian Bar Association, not forgetting the rebuilding of Mile One Market as well the rebuilding of the Fruit Gardens Market that was recently gutted by fire.
The group equally recalled the renovation of different hospitals and doctors quarters including the BMSH which is now Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH), Port Harcourt.
They did not also forget the various loans to different strata of the society that was meant to empower Rivers and Non Rivers indigenes for self reliance.
The Grassroot For Good Governance (GFGG) equally used the opportunity to condemn the deliberate involvement of soldiers in the 2019 electoral process and indeed the dastard killings of innocent citizens who came out to exercise their franchise just to gain undue advantage for the All Progressives Congress party.
The group therefore joined other stakeholders to call for the setting up of a Commission of Inquiry into the Presidential and National Assembly election which it said is a national embarrassment.
GFGG also used the chance to express its appreciations to the performance of the Obio/Akpor LG Boss, Hon Solomon Abel Eke, adding that the development has really confirmed the idiom that “when the righteous rule, the people rejoice”.
Princess Joy Kanu recalled some of the people-oriented programmes and policies of the council administration which stood it out.
“The Obio/Akpor LG administration which assumed office seven months ago passed a supplementary budget that enabled it to put a lot of infrastructure in place and improve the environmental sanitation for the smooth running of the council.
The group also stated how workers salaries are regularly paid ever since Hon. Solomon Abel Eke took charge of affairs in the council, as well as the floating of a free medical outreach for the healthcare of the Obio/Akpor citizens and non-indigenes.
The group also used the opportunity to call on the people to rally round the Hon. Solomon Eke administration for it to keep on initiating more goodies for the peoples welfare at all times.
