Group Canvasses Support For Wike
A Non Governmental
Organisation, the Niger Delta Youth Coalition (NDYC) has canvassed support for Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike in his efforts at socio-economic and political rejuvenation of the state.
The National Co-ordinator of the group, Prince Emmanuel Ogba, in a statement in Port Harcourt, said Governor Wike having so far identified with youths in the programmes and policies of his administration, deserves the unflinching support, co-operation and understanding of the youth and indeed, the entire Rivers people.
Ogba said, in the appointment so far made within his first one year in office, the governor has shown fair disposition to the interest and development of the youth and lauded him for carrying youths along.
The youth leader noted that the appointment of Hon. Jacob Akuru, as the new Caretaker Committee Chairman of Ahoada West Local Government Area, during his latest batch of appointments exemplifies the governor’s good disposition to youths and their development.
He expressed confidence in the ability of Akuru to deliver the much needed democracy dividends to the people of the area.
Ogba stressed the need for youths in the state to sustain their strong support for Governor Wike to enable him actualize his new vision for the people of the state.
The NDYC National Co-ordinator advised the youths to shun social vices especially kidnapping, violence, cultism in their dealings and to take advantage of the programmes of the government to enhance their potentials.
