Ogbakor Ikwerre Congratulates Buhari On Victory …Lauds Amaechi’s Achievements

A group under the aegis of Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organisation Worldwide (an umbrella body representing all Ikwerre people) has congratulated the President elect General Muhammadu Buhari on his resounding victory in the just concluded Presidential Polls.
A statement jointly signed by its President General, Prof. Augustine Onyeozu, and Secretary General, Chief Augustine Okajile as well as the President of Ikwerre Development Association, Sir Chris N. Chinwo said, “Ikwerre people with one accord proudly identify with the voice of the people, which of course is the voice of God. We are confident that Buhari will obviously take our great nation to enviable heights. We take this opportunity to thank President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat in a very civilized manner”.
The group also appreciated Rivers State Governor ,Chibuike Amaechi for his achievements in the state, particularly on road construction, education, healthcare delivery, agriculture, infrastructure and welfare services.
According to the group, Governor Amaechi has distinguished himself in a position as high class achiever.
“We also congratulate our son, the Governor of Rivers State and Director General of Buhari/Osinbanjo Campaign  Organisation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi,  for being part of this success. As you round up your tenure as first Ikwerre Governor of Rivers State of Nigeria, the ‘Ochi Ohnas’ of Ikwerre and members of the National Executive of Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organisation Worldwide jointly convey this message of sincere appreciation to you for your outstanding performance to date.
“By your excellent performance, you have earned for yourself a distinguished position as high class achiever, along with the class of Governor Alfred Diette-Spiff in the state in the 70’s, in different aspects of development, particularly on road construction, education, provision of health services, agriculture, infrastructure and welfare services.
“You have set a new standard that subsequent governors of the state will always struggle to meet. Your developmental strides speak for themselves. Everybody can see that Port Harcourt now wears a new look. We have hardly had it so good”, the group said.
“Above all, you have reduced to the barest minimum the presence of the ugly syndrome called ‘Upland/Riverine dichotomy’ which had been the bane of our otherwise lovely state. We recognize that the fight against this lacuna is critical for peace and stability in this state. We therefore, support this fight and encourage you not to relent. The Ikwerre ethnic nationality is proud of you”, they added.
