LG Chairmanship Aspirants Hail PDP Screening
Chairmanship aspirants for Opobo/Nkoro and Gokana local government areas on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Hon. Maclean Uranta and Demua Ledee Demua have hailed the recently concluded party screening for aspirants.
Speaking shortly after their screening in Port Harcourt, both Uranta and Demua submitted that the exercise would inject credibility, equity and reduce internal wranglings in the party.
Hon. Uranta, who is taking a second slot at the chairmanship position said the exercise was transparent and would afford the aspirants avenue to articulate their manifestoes in line with the party’s ideology.
The Opobo/Nkoro local government chairman stated that he decided to seek a second tenure in order to complete the laudable projects he commenced in the first three years of his administration.
Hon. Uranta promised to give priority attention to human resource development, stressing that he would evolve a loan scheme for indigenes of the area if given a fresh mandate this year.
Commenting on the Unity Road, Hon Uranta hinted that soon the project would get to Opobo before the year ends, “immediately the 59 metres bridge between Kalaibiama, and Nkoro is completed in the next two months, the other side of the road would be easy to complete.”
He described the recently concluded national elections as a landmark success by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), “unlike before when we used to hear reports of killings and violence but his time, there was no report of such in the Niger Delta”, he said.
Also speaking, Hon. Demua said he was aspiring to lead Gokana local government area in order to sustain the tempo of development in the area.
The Gokana council scribe said he would concentrate on infrastructure development and other human resource empowerment scheme as was done by his predecessor and therefore called on the people of the area to vote for the PDP.

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.
