Apara Kingdom Hails Amaechi’s Visit

A socio-political group
in Rivers State, the Apara Peoples Assembly (APA) has commended the State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for his recent visit to the wards in Apara Kingdom in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state.
The group, in a statement jointly signed by its chairman, secretary and Public Relations Officer, Hon. Friday Kinika Owhor, Hon. Ovunda Ihunwo and Tennisbury Nwagwu, respectively, thanked Amaechi for finding time from his crowded schedule to meet with the people of the kingdom and find out how they were faring.
The statement also acknowledged the achievement of the Amaechi administration in the state, noting that “the group works of the governor in the areas of roads, education, health and other sectors of the economy have impacted positively on the lives of Apara people in particular and the state in general”.
The assembly equally commended the people of the kingdom for the warm reception accorded the governor during the visit, saying “your tumultuous reception and ovation was highly encouraging.”
While appealing to Governor Amaechi to urgently address the requests of the people of the kingdom, the organisation regretted the attempts by some elements to discourage the governor from visiting the area.
“These futile attempts to stop the good people of the Apara Kingdom from receiving and welcoming the governor of the state are highly retrogressive, condemnable and completely counter-productive”, the statement said.
