Minister, Deputy Speaker Storm Eleme, Decry Infrastructure Decay

Top government functionaries, including Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Mr Ahmed Wase and Women Affairs Minister, Paulen Tallen, last Saturday visited Eleme Kingdom in Rivers State to bolster unity and brotherhood among all Nigerians.
However, the visitors were dismayed over poor state of infrastructure in the area and resolved to push for improvement.
Wase, who spoke with Journalists during a reception in their honour on Saturday at the Palace of Chief Apollus Chu, paramount ruler of Okori Eleme said communication and regular interface was key to a united nation.
“I have been here about 12 years ago on an official mission to NAFCON and the refinery and I share in the sentiments and problems associated with this community.
“I am deeply touched and I want to say that we will organise ourselves as friends because advocacy works right in a number of ways.
“What you have done today could be likened to the hen that produces the golden egg and at the same time extending a hand to friendship to all.
“Indeed this quality that you have displayed is laudable and we feel appreciated, I would say on behalf of the National Assembly that Eleme is now part of our constituency,” the deputy speaker said.
Also , Talen, the women affairs minister, who represented President Muhammadu Buhari, applauded the traditional ruler for his huge contributions towards enhancing unity in the country.
She urged other traditional rulers to emulate the gesture so as to straighten peace in the country.
