The assurance was made at Afara town by the National Vice-Chairman of RIVLEAF, Mr. Vincent Iyalla at Rivers State Leadership Advancement Foundation (RIVLEAF) in the 19 wards of the local government.
Iyalla charged the newly inaugurated ward executive to see themselves as foot solidiers of good governance and to promote the giant strides of Governor Amaechi’s programmes and policies.
“We are here to inaugurate you to work and support good governance of Governor Chibuike Amaechi and to help in telling the people the need to support the present administration based on his track record, “ he said.
Earlier the foundation Chairman of the body in Etche Local Government Area, Comrade Justice Njoku thanked God and the people for congregating despite the unruly conduct of the Police.
He announced that RIVLEAF has come to stay in Etche and urged members to remain steadfast regardless of intimidations, noting that apart from, Alfred Diete-Spiff of the old Rivers State, no other governor in the state has done so well as the present administration.
Responding on behalf of the new executive, the co-ordinator of Obibi ward, Paul Nwoke assured that they would do all within their powers to encourage others and to support good governance in the state.
Meanwhile the Chairman of the Etche Local Government Council, Mr. Reginald Ukwuoma promised the group the council’s support.
The Council boss who was represented by his Chief Security Officer, Obinna Anaebo said since RIVLEAF stands for good governance, they have already keyed into it.
Barrister Ukwuoma explained that the feat achieved so far by the council was traceable to the exemplary leadership of the state governor, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi and urged all to support his administration.
