Embrace Wike’s Think Home Philosophy, Monarch Urges Rivers Indigenes
Indigenes of Rivers State, especially those in the diaspora have been urged to embrace Governor Nyesom Wike’s “think home” philosophy and attract development to their various communities.
Addressing journalists recently on the fate of Rivers State and 2023 elections, a monarch and Amanyanabo of Okochiri Kingdom in Wakirike Local Government Area of the State, King Ateke Tom, reminded the people of the importance of wooing investors to come in and invest to create employment for the citizenry.
Tom, the Sekuru 1 of Okochiri Kingdom, said it is time for sons and daughters both at home and in the diaspora to come together to create more development for their communities for posterity.
According to the monarch, “we look at the dire need for more investments in our communities on jobs to be created and peaceful co-existence sustained, it becomes necessary for our people to put heads together on how to drag development via investment in order to bring socio-cultural, physical, economic and human capital investment.
“Also, our people overseas should use this conviviality to know themselve better,” Tom advised.
The Okochiri monarch said it was high time Rivers people remembered their roots, by contributing their quota through investments in the state.
He stressed that home coming of Rivers’ prominent sons and daughters from abroad “would promote many produce results as they woo investors, no matter whose ox is gored.
He noted that for development to be sustained in Rivers communities, there must be respect to constituted authorities.
Meanwhile, King Ateke Tom has admonished the youth to shun money-bag politicians ahead of the 2023 general elections, whose interest is to use them as canon fodders to unleash mayhem in the State, adding that they should disregard the antics of such politicians for their own betterment.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
