Party Chairman Berates LG Boss

The Chairman of Zenith Labour Party(ZLP) in Rivers State, Hon. Ben Chinedum Ogbobula, has criticised the Chairman of Ahoada West Local Government Council, Hon. Hope Ikiriko for failing to provide basic infrastructure such as roads, markets,water and empowerment for the people.
Hon. Ogbobula made the criticism, Tuesday, in Port Harcourt in an interview with The Tide.
“The Evang. Hope Ikiriko-led government has not delivered on its mandate. No tangible achievement has been recorded, roads and other infrastructure are in deplorable state since he took over power,” he said.
Hon. Ben Ogbobula who is an indigene of AWELGA pointed out that the Council boss had refused to maintain link roads, saying that no effort or action has been made towards reducing the sufferings of the people.
“The Ikiriko-led government has refused to fix the Ogbede community-Ogbede-Kunisha link road and many other roads in the LGA, thereby heightening the travails of the people”, he said.
According to him, instead of the Council chairman to provide empowerment and employment for the teeming unemployed citizens of the area, he’s busy thinking of laying-off workers,this is a show of shame,not having the people at heart”.
Hon. Ogbobula called on the AWELGA Council boss to use the remaining period of his tenure to maintain deplorable roads, fix other amenities to justify the huge finances he had received from the Federation Account, adding that posterity would not fail to bring to justice anyone who misused public funds.
All efforts to get the  response of the chairman of the Awega Council, Hon. Hope Ikiriko proved abortive as he refused to take phone calls or respond to text message
