We’ll Not Succumb To Political Banditry-Stakeholders

Political stakeholders in Ogba/Egbema/ Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA) of Rivers State have warned that the people will no longer succumb to political blackmail and banditry.
They said this at the special thanksgiving service organised by the ONELGA chapter of the Simplified Movement in Omoku.
A cross section of stakeholders, who spoke at the event said apart from the administration of former Governor of the State, Dr Peter Odili, this is the only time ONELGA is well positioned in the administration of the state.
Rivers State Deputy Governor, Prof Ngozi Odu, has called for continuous prayers for Governor Fubara and the state government.
Prof. Odu made the appeal while addressing thousands of people who turned up for the thanksgiving service organized by the Ogba /Egbema /Ndoni (ONELGA) Chapter of the Simplified Movement at Omoku, charging them to preach peace and also act peace.
The deputy governor described Governor Fubara as a man of peace, adding that what he needed at the moment was their prayers.
In his remarks, former Commissioner for Transport in Rivers State, Chief Sunny Ajie, told the mammoth crowd at the ONELGA Pavilion, Omoku, that Governor Fubara is a man whom God has chosen to govern the state at this time and that, by the grace of God, ONELGA is well positioned in the administration of Governor Fubara.
According to him, apart from producing the deputy governor, the area also has two commissioners, special advisers and other appointees.
He also commended the Governor for embarking on numerous people oriented projects, particularly the ongoing Elele/ Egbeda /Omoku road project.
Chief Ajie said that the people were determined to stand by the governor at all times.
Also speaking, Dr Lucky Nwoburu said the people were thanking God because Governor Fubara’s election came without bloodshed in the area.
He noted that, apart from the election of former Governor Peter Odili, Governor Fubara’s election was the only one held without bloodshed in ONELGA.
He said the people were also thanking God for bringing a man who was prepared for governance.
On his part, Professor Jason Ossai said the massive turn out showed the degree to which ONELGA was ‘Simplified’.
Also, former Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Chief Oris Onyiri, thanked the Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Barrister Ehie Edison, Rt Hon Evans Bipi and others for standing firm with the Governor.
