Rivers Indigenes In UK Task Amaechi On Dev

The Association of Rivers communities in the UK and Ireland, has called on Governor Chibuike Amaechi to justify his re-election by providing more benefits for the people in the next four years.

The President of the association, Mr. Okechuku Ashley Mpi, said in a statement dispatched to newsmen from London last Monday, that Amaechi should see his mandate as a call to do more.

“We trust that the governor will see his mandate as a call to do more rather than rest on his oars; that he will seek to carry the people along as he grapples with the challenges of the next four years,’’ Mpi said in the statement.

He stated that the re-election was an acknowledgement and endorsement by the people of the governor’s hardwork.

“Within the relatively short time Governor Amaechi has been in office, he has positively transformed the state in several respects, significantly impacting every community”.

“The vote for him was, therefore, both acknowledgment and endorsement of his work,” he said.

Mpi said Rivers people abroad were optimistic that the governor would use the people’s mandate to work harder and justify the confidence they had in him.

He said the association wanted the governor to execute all on-going projects and initiate more.
