Monarch Urges Community To Shun Violence, Embrace Peace
HRM King (Barr), Onyekachi K. Amaonwu (JP), has tasked the people of Omuma to continue to embrace peace and support the leadership of the Rivers State Governor, Chief Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, in the New Year.
Eze Amaonwu said this in a chat with the press recently at his palace in Eberi, in Omuma Local Goverment Area.
”My people have always been peaceful in their disposition. I encourage them to keep this up especially as the bush clearing/ planting season is approaching”, he said.
The Eberi Ugo IX of Omuma kingdom, who charged his people on the need to shun rancour associated with land, tasked them to be industrious, and added that there was no food for a lazy man.
To achieve all their plans as a people, he called on them to always give their cooperation and support to the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, to enable him deliver more dividend of democracy to them.
”Continue to support Gov Wike so that he can continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the Omuma people, particularly, and the Rivers people, generally,” he added.
”Omuma people are ready to support his agricultural project he has earmarked for the state this year and also commended him for the faculty he promised to build in Omuma when the Ogbakor Omuma paid him a courtesy visit as well as for the successful procurement of OML 11 for the Rivers people”, he stressed.
The monarch who frowned at violence at all levels, said people must learn how to live in harmony, if they are prepared to attain a new height in life.
Narrating the love of the state Governor for his people, he said that the appointment of Barr. Sylvanus Nwankwo as a commissioner was a major proof, as he promised zero torrorance for crime and violence in his kingdom.
”The appointment is a very positive development and it shows Governor Wike has the grassroots people at heart. May God continue to guide and guard him as he takes the state to the Promised Land,” he concluded.
It will be recalled that Omuma has been peaceful since the Monarch mounted the leadership saddle of the the area.
