LG Boss Lambasts Political Jobbers
The Chairman of Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, Chief Cassidy Ikegbidi, has called on Rivers people to beware of political deceits, in the name of Grassroot Development Initiative (GDI) in the State.
Chief Ikegbidi alerted the people in the State yesterday at the meeting of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chietains and stakeholders in Ahoada Town, the headquarters of the Local Government.
He described top politicians behind the group as self-seeking garrison commanders aimed at destroying the peace of the state.
Chief Ikegbidi urged the people of Ahoada East to shun all forms of propaganda and destructive antics of the supervising Minister of Education, Hon. Nyesom Wike and his supporters in the State.
According to him, it is only a drowning man that anxiously goes about black-mailing and fabricating lies against innocent persons in order to buy favour from the Presidency.
He said, no kind of deceit and propaganda would cheaply change the minds of Ahoada people, stressing that Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi had done a lot for the people in the area of infrastructure and empowerment.
Chief Ikegbidi said the people of Ahoada were overwhelmed by the infrastructural projects and programmes initiated by Governor Amaechi’s administration in the area, saying that his developmental strides had endeared him to the people.
He called on President Goodluck Jonathan to beware of sycophants, who were rather interested in their personal gains, adding that the people of Rivers State had vowed to support him.
Also speaking, a former member of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. (Mrs) Beatrice Awala lauded Governor Amaechi on his administration’s developmental strides since he assumed office in October 2007.
Hon. Awala said, it is only the blind or an evil mind that can deny the governor’s performance in the State.
She called on the people of Ahoada to support the governor, in spite of the campaign of calumny against him by evil minded people.

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.
