Wike Has Redefined Governance As Service To People -Nsirim
The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has demonstrated clearly that governance is meant to serve the people, the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, has said.
Nsirim stated this while speaking, last Friday, at the Wards 16 and 17 local government elections campaign rallies, organised by the Obio/Akpor chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He reminded the people of how terrible it was for indigenes and residents to access their communities by road before the intervention by Governor Nyesom Wike on assumption of office in 2015.
“Before this time, to drive to Ogbogoro was a nightmare, but today, Governor Nyesom Wike has done the roads.
“Our government is a government of talk and do, and our leader, Governor Nyesom Wike, has demonstrated clearly that governance is meant to serve the people.
“And that’s why, if you go round the entire Wards 16 and 17, today, all the roads are sparkling. One man came to wipe away our tears, and that one man, we will continue to follow,” he said.
He said the achievements of the governor have served as good testimony of the visionary leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, and made a way for the party to smoothly sail through to victory in the local government elections billed for April 17.
He declared Wards 16 and 17 as belonging to PDP since 1999, adding that the party’s chairmanship candidate, Barrister George Ariolu, and the ward councillor, need no campaign but mere presentation to the people ahead of the day of the ballot.
At Ward 17, Nsirim also enumerated the developmental strides of the governor.
He assured the people of more projects from the state government, and urged all of them to turn out enmass to vote for the party at all elections.
He declared authoritatively that the governor had given the roadmap and blueprint for the development of Rivers State.
Also speaking, the Chairmanship candidate of the PDP for the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Barrister George Ariolu, promised to replicate the developmental strides of the state Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, if elected into office, and solicited the support of the people of the wards in ensuring that PDP wins all elections.
Party stalwarts from the local government area, including the Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area chapter of the PDP, Hon. Chidi Amadi; member representing Obio/Akpor Constituency 2 in Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Michael Chinda; the Rivers State Commissioner for Special Duties, Hon. Emeka Onowu; and the incumbent Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Council, Hon. Solomon Eke; spoke about the numerous achievements of the PDP government in the state, and called on the people to vote massively for the party at all elections.
The highpoint of the event was the presentation of flag to the councillorship candidate and the receiving of scores of decampees from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
