Integrity, Honesty, Key In Politics, Governance – Ariolu

The Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Barrister George Ariolu has asserted that integrity and forthrightness are what matters in politics and governance.
The chairman also added that patience and perseverance were fundamental virtues to succeeding as politicians in governance.
He made this assertion while addressing 17 ward chairmen of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Obio/Akpor at the Council’s Executive Chambers in Rumuodomaya.
Ariolu, who commended the ward chairmen for their support and contributions to the growth and success of his administration, urged them to put service first as every other thing would follow.
“You are an integral part of the nation’s development, so put service first and every other thing will follow. Politics is a call to serve and service is what pays in politics.”
However, Ariolu, in his admonition, advised politicians not to be expectant in the course of their service to the people.
The chairman, while receiving a portrait and Holy Bible from the ward chairmen, noted that prayer was a fundamental tool for a leader in an administration.
Earlier, Leader of the forum, Collins Wobo Chukwu Warlor, assured Ariolu of the unwavering support of the forum, adding that the reason for their proactiveness was as a result of the mentorship drawn from leaders of the party, especially at the state and local levels.
According to him, Ariolu has steadied the ship of governance in the LGA by putting smiles and food on the table of the masses through his demonstrative, purposeful and intentional leadership.
