A socio-political group under the banner of Concerned Rivers Citizens Mandate has commended the Chairman of Opobo/ Nkoro Local Government Council, Rt Hon. Enyiada Cookey-Gam for his unwavering support to Governor Siminalayi Fubara during the political crisis in the State.
The group in a statement it made available to newsmen yesterday described Rt. Hon. CookeyGam’s posture as” unflinching, resolute and firm in the face of the political turmoil.”
They praised the ONOLGA boss for displaying a rare leadership trait amid the chaos and political machinations against Governor Fubara, pointing out that the chairman stood firm with the democratic principles and norms, by ensuring that peace and stability reign in both Opobo/Nkoro and the State.
In their words,” One of the most commendable aspects of his (CookeyGam’s) leadership was his unwavering loyalty to Governor Fubara. Despite the immense pressure and political maneuvering that characterised this period. Hon. CookeyGam stood by the side of the governor, supporting his administration’s policies and initiatives.”
This gesture, they further stated is a sign of commitment to better the State, than pursuing selfish interest and ambitions.
