Why I Deserve Re-Election -ABOLGA Chairman

The Executive Chairman of Abua/Odual Local Government Council, Hon. Daniel Daniel says he deserves to be re-elected because of his sterling performances within the last three years in office.
Daniel, who said this while addressing some editors and reporters in his office at Abua, said despite the dwindling finances of the council, his administration has embarked on some projects to improve the conditions of the people.
The chairman listed some on-going and completed projects in the area to include an ultra-moodern market awarded at the cost of over N125million, the Abua Central motor park constructed at over N88 million, and a town hall at Anyu community in the Odual District of the local government Area, which gulped N21million.
The chairman also listed an on-going town hall project at Omelema at the cost of N8million, while 358 Abua/Odual students in tertiary institutions got the sum of N20,000 each to go back to school after the lockdown occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Daniel also said that for the first time since the creation of the local government council, 13 law students were given the sum of N200,000 each.
He said he also renovated the council headquarters at Abua Central, while outboard engine boats were purchased to ease transportation at Odual axis, just as he said his administration also inherited on over bloated workforce.
According to him, the council had 400 workers when he assumed duty as the council chairman.
Thereafter, another 100 workers were employed by the Rivers State Local Government Service Commission and posted to Abua/Odual.
Daniel also put the wage bill of the council at N89million, adding that his administration has not employed any worker, as there was no money to pay them.
“I have not employed any staff because there is no money to pay them,” he said.
He said the council needs more financial support from both the state and federal governments to embark on more projects for the people.
On the issue of peace in ABOLGA, he said, based on the advice of security agencies, some youths in the area were put on council payroll.
