Amaechi Needs Peace To Succeed – Gokhana Forum Chairman
The chairman of Gokhana United Forum, Mr Belgeni Joseph Lenata has said that the present administration of Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi needs peace to succeed in its endeavour to develop the state.
He thus urged communities, particularly in Ogoniland, to give peace a chance.
Mr Lenata, who said this during the second anniversary memorial of the return of peace to Te York Community in the Khana local government area, said that continuous friction among the people of Ogoniland will not bring the needed development to the area.
He also urged youths of the community to always seek the consent of their elder before taking any action.
“My message to the youth of Teyork are as follows they should embrace the administration of Rt Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, which has changed Rivers State, they should avoid cultism and anything like communal crisis should be eliminated, adding that “the only thing that moves a community forward is peace”.
Mr Lenata, who chaired the occasion, also urged the youth to respect constituted authority.
Meanwhile, the people of Teyork community have protested the incessant arrest and detention of their members by the police.
In a protest march to the Bori Area Command of the police at the weekend, the people also demanded for more government protection, while employment opportunities should also be provided for youths in the area.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
