Don Sets Agenda For LG Chairman
The Dean, Faculty of Sciences, Rivers State University (RSU), Nkpolu, Port Harcourt, Prof. Valentine Omubo Pepple has advised the Chairman of Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area, Eugene Joshua Jaja and his team to set up reconciliatory and development machinery in the area.
Speaking with The Tide in Port Harcourt, Pepple noted that the conduct of the just concluded local government elections though smooth, was however not embraced by all.
He called on local government council chairmen to strive to accommodate and reconcile aggrieved members in order to reposition the local government areas.
Prof. Pepple said the gesture would ensure the continued dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), especially in Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area.
He said, “we reiterate that the Senibo Eugene Jaja-led government is coming at a time when there is alot of storm in the area which if not properly checked, might affect the chances of the party in next year’s polls”.
The university teacher congratulated both the out gone caretaker leadership and the new chairman, including the party’s hierarchies in the state who ensured a hitch-free polls in the 23 local government areas, describing the feat as most commendable.
“I congratulate particularly Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, the state chairman of PDP, Bro Felix Obuah, among others for their foresight that brought about credible, free and fair polls which served as a testimony to their competence, doggedness and astuteness as remarkable leaders”.
He used the opportunity to urge the winners to be magnanimous in victory by embracing and accommodating the opposition to foster nation building.
Describing Jaja’s election as a call to cleanse and reposition the local government, Pepple added that, “the new chairman who understands the problem rocking the party overtime in the area should display sufficient knowledge of solving the avalanche of problems for fruitful results.

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.
