Parties’ Candidates Promise Social Amenities For Communities
As political parties com
mence campaigns ahead of the re-run elections for some National Assembly and the State House of Assembly, candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress (APC) have promised to provide social amenities to their constituencies and quality service to the people.
Last week, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for Degema Constituency in Rivers State House of Assembly rerun elections, Hon Farah Dagogo had assured the people of Bakana that he would provide three transformers to them to ease electricity problems in the area while the APC candidate for the House of Representatives Port Harcourt 11, Sir Collins Owhonda said he would salvage the short-changed people of the constituency in human and infrastructural development.
Dagogo made his assurance known in Bakana during a Thank You Door-to-Door rally in appreciation of Governor Nyesom Wike’s Supreme Court victory.
The Assembly Candidates explained that the rally was not a campaign but an opportunity to thank God for the victory of Wike as well as thank the people for their unflinching support to the present administration in the state.
He said the transformers would be complimented by his long standing gesture of assisting the less privileged to pay their school fees as well as their registration fees to enroll for examinations such as JAMB, WASSCE, NECO among others.
Speaking also at the event, the Rivers State Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Hon. Damiete Herbert-Miller said that the thank-you rally was a way of appreciating Governor Wike for the many political appointments he had given to people of Degema. The Thank-You rally was well attended by PDP leaders from the LGA including, Hon Tonye Tyger, and two former chairmen of the Local Government Council, Hon Tony Philemon and Hon Pleasant Braide.
But Owhonda promised to promote human capital and social development in all areas and wards of his constituency, stressing that it was wrong to leave the constituency in the hands of failure.

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.
