“I informed the people of Bori during my campaign that I would provide them with electricity, as part of my promise to them. This was in response to complaints that some areas of Bori had been without power for 20 years. I assured them that I would deliver on this promise, and today, I am proud to say that I have fulfilled it. By doing so, I am keeping my commitment to the people of Bori and upholding our duty to fulfill all promises made to them.”

We have inspected the five transformers installed by your administration and would like to express our gratitude for your efforts.

“These transformers have significantly boosted economic activities in the area, empowering women, artisans, and small-scale businesses. Your visionary leadership and commitment to addressing the needs of the people are evident.

“As a former chairman, I have been observing the activities of local governments in Rivers State, and I am pleased to note the positive competition among chairmen, particularly those from Ogoni extraction. Bori holds great significance for us as Ogoni people, and your outstanding performance has the potential to inspire others, particularly council chairmen, to excel.

“Your leadership has demonstrated a genuine commitment to developing Ogoni, not just Bori. Bori is our collective heritage, and your efforts have benefited us all.

“I urge you to maintain this momentum and sustain your vision for development. I am confident that your experience will undoubtedly benefit your people, and they will appreciate your efforts.he stated.
