LG Boss Wants Appointees To Be Good Ambassadors Of PDP
The Chairman of Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State, Hon. Michael John Williams, has charged appointees of the Council to be good and worthy ambassadors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), by carrying their people along.
The council boss, who gave the charge, this week, while swearing-in newly appointed Supervisors and Advisers, added that the administration had come to support and complement the efforts of Governor Nyesom Wike, by replicating his good works in the LGA.
Charging all appointees including the Supervisors, Advisers, Special Assistants and Media Aides, he urged all those who had been empowered by their appointments to also empower other people in their various communities and wards, in order to make the PDP continually attractive to people at the grassroots.
He warned that he would not hesitate to anyone who by virtue of their appointments, decide to abandon their people and become Port Harcourt based politicians, noting that politics is local and political office holders should not make themselves inaccessible to their people.
Hon. Williams enjoined committed party members who have not gotten appointment to keep faith with his administration, assuring that they would be accommodated in the long run.
The council chairman called for continued support for the leadership of the PDP in the LGA, under the chairmanship of Hon. Peter Abbey, adding that the Chairman needed the support of all party men to succeed.
“As a party man, support the party. Support Peter Abbey to succeed. Abbey is just a single man, but there is a way you will call him and the Umbrella will show.
“Support the Umbrella Peter Abbey is carrying like a shield. Let us remain united like a family,” the Council Boss urged.
The event was well attended by bigwigs of the PDP in the LGA, stakeholders, friends and family members of the appointees, amongst others.
