NSDP Boss Wants Amaechi To Empower Youths
Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike, Amaechi has been called upon to give priority attention to empowerment of youths of the state to enable them engage in meaningful ventures.
The chairman of the National Solidarity Democratic Party (NSDP) in the state, Hon. Solomon Ali Omah made the call while speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt last Thursday.
Hon. Omah noted that empowerment of the youths would also help to drastically reduce social vices among the youths in the state which he posited were triggered off by idleness since as he put it, “an idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
He equally enjoined the Governor to try as much as possible to have a deliberate policy towards addressing security in the various communities in the state so that the inhabitants could go to bed with their eyes closed.
The NSDP boss in the state observed that Governor Amaechi respects democracy and the rule of law, adding that his liberal disposition had made his relationship with opposition political parties in the state cordial.
According to him, the governor had earlier promised to carry along opposition political parties in his administration but could not fulfill the promise as was expected as barely a few members of the opposition were benefiting from the administration.
He, however, commended the governor for the developmental strides recorded by his administration so far in areas of health, education, roads construction and infrastructural development.
Commenting on the demolition of illegal structures in Port Harcourt metropolis and its environs, Hon. Omah advised Rivers people to disabuse their minds that the demolition exercise has ethnic colouration.
