…Calls For Warm Reception For His Excellency
As preparations are geared up for the epoch-making reception of Governor Nyesom Wike by the Ogoni ethnic nationality this weekend, Saturday May 15, 2021 at Bori, the Traditional Headquarters of the Ogoni People, the lawmaker representing Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Dumnamene Robinson Dekor has called on the good people of Ogoni to file out in their numbers to accord the State Chief Executive a rousing welcome.
Rt. Hon Dekor who is also the Chairman House Committee on Host Communities said there is every reason for every Ogoni citizen irrespective of council area or political affiliation to receive the Governor with joy and celebrations, stressing that the landmarks of the Wike administration in Ogoniland call for gratitude and special honour to His Excellency who according to him, has demonstrated his love for the Ogoni people in various forms.
The federal lawmaker, and a former Works Commissioner, and former Deputy Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly said Governor Wike has become a household name not only within the state but also outside the state because of his laudable achievements and contributions to the continued unity of the country.
This, according to the Ogoni-born politician is encapsulated in different appellations given the governor for his efforts as ‘Mr Quality Projects’, Promise Keeper, Pillar of democracy and the conscience of Rivers people and many more, based on quality leadership and good governance which he has engendered in the State.
But above all, Rt. Hon Dum Dekor said the Ogoni people will forever remain grateful and indebted to Gov Wike for appointing Ogoni sons and daughters into positions of trust and for siting numerous projects in Ogoniland particularly the dualization of the Saakpenwa-Bori-Kono-Road which he said has changed the landscape of Ogoni and is hoped to further better the economic situation of the Ogoni people.
The federal lawmaker is therefore appealing to all Ogoni people both at home and abroad to deem it privileged to host the Governor that has shown the Ogoni people love as one good turn deserves another.
“While we graciously await your historic arrival to Bori, the traditional headquarters of my good people of Ogoni, Your Excellency, it’s my pleasure and honour to welcome you to your second home. The Ogonis are indeed, happy and elated to see you once again in our midst and pray that this particular visit will further cement the good relationship between Your Excellency, your administration and our people. May the good Lord grant you safe and fruitful journey to and from our Ogoniland. Once more, welcome Your Excellency”, Rt. Hon Dekor said.
