Wike’s Aide Tasks Liaison Officers On Hard Work

The Speical Adviser to the Rivers State Governor on Political Affairs, Chief Glory Emeh has urged Government Liaison Officers (GLOs) across the state to work hard toward the re-election of Governor Nyesom Wike in the 2019 general elections.
Emeh who was addressing the GLOs during their inaugural meeting in Port Harcourt reminded them of their role as a link between the government and the people of the state for the achievement of good governance and development.
The Special Adviser told them to liaise with ward and local government chairmen as party officials to make governance easier for the governor, and advised the state coordinator of the GLOs, Ebere Owhonda to ensure the unity and togetherness of members to achieve the set objective of the governor.
Also speaking, state coordinator of GLOs, Ebere Owhonda said the governor meant well for them, adding that the aim was to bring them close to the government for good governance.
According to him, the liaison officers are a veritable tool for mobilisation of the grassroots as well as the sensitization and monitoring of their areas during elections, pointing out that their work would enhance development at the grassroots level.
“You should be meeting from time to time, get yourselves together because the governor has recognised all of us”, Owhonda said, noting that they should always liaise with the 319 wards and 88,840 units in the State to move the body forward and achieve the objectives.
He assured them that government would not abandon them if they work satisfactorily and announced that the body would soon be inaugurated in the State by the governor.
A liaison officer in Opobo/Nkoro LGA, Henry Obomanu assured that the GLOs were determined to work for the return of the governor for second term and appealed to the government to pay attention to their welfare.
