LG Polls: Group Endorses Nwanosike, Aliezi
A head of the 2018 local government elections in Rivers State, a frontline non-governmental organisation, Rivers Youth Ambassadors (RYA) has endorsed the Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State, Engr. Samuel Nwonasike to contest the chairmanship position of Ikwerre Local Government Area.
The group in a five point communiqué signed by its President General, Amadi Confidence and Secretary, Chinedu Wosu said Engr. Nwanosike is capable, credible and competent to pilot the affairs of the LGA, if voted into office come June 16,2018.
The communiqué also endorsed Hon Tom Aliezi to run for office of Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, following his political track records in the area.
“Having been tested for leadership qualities, Engr. Samuel Nwonasike and Hon. Tom Aliezi, the body calls on you to come and lead Ikwerre and Emohua Local Government Areas respectively”, the communiqué read in part.
The group said both candidates, if voted into power, will transform the economies of the LGAs and drive youth empowerment through skills acquisition.
The communiqué noted that, Engr. Nwonasike had supported the payment of tuition fees for indigent sons and daughters of the area, even as he had rendered selfless services to less privileged women.
Describing them as divine projects, RYA urged political detractors in the area to support them instead of engaging in campaign of calumny against them.
The RYA also appealed to youth of the LGAs to obtain their Permanent Voters Cards ahead of the local government and general elections.
