ABOLGA Ward Hails Fubara Over Commissioner’s Appointment

The people of Ward 9 in Abua/Odual Local Government Area of Rivers State are happy and grateful to the Governor of the State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara for appointing one of their illustrious sons, Hon ILamu Jonathan Arugu to serve in his cabinet in the State Executive Council as Commissioner for Social Welfare and Social Rehabilitation.
They also expressed their gratitude for the ongoing renovation works at the primary school in Adada, courtesy of the local government caretaker committee chairman, pointing out that successive governments had come and gone, yet, the school was neglected. But that this government came and changed all that.
The ward, which gave the indication in a chat with newsmen through High Chief Standfast Robinson Arugu, who spoke on behalf of the ward’s chiefs, elders, leaders and stakeholders, pleaded with Governor Fubara to complete the ongoing Ekaago – Ogboloma – Adada road project, which he promised during the campaign.
He said, “We want to use this opportunity to appreciate the Governor for appointing our illustrious son, Prince (Hon) ILamu Jonathan Arugu to work with him in his cabinet. He didn’t make a mistake; the governor didn’t make a mistake.ILamu is a square peg in a square hole. With all his experiences as we know him, an administrator, he is a leader and a very humble man. A man that doesn’t speak from the two sides of his mouth. Our dear Governor, we are saying thank you for what you have done.”
High Chief Arugu also thanked Governor Fubara for continuing with the Ekaago – Ogboloma – Adada road project, and urged him to complete it as soon as possible, pointing out that, “Whatever that is started should have a conclusion. We therefore, want you to, please, our amiable Governor to conclude that road project in the shortest possible time. We also want to use this opportunity to thank you for urging the CTC chairman to award the project of renovation of our primary school in Adada community. No other person could have done that except you. We say thank you.”
He further congratulated Hon Jonathan Arugu on his appointment, and advised him to attract government presence to the ward and local government, and to always remember that the people are looking up to him.
He commended Governor Fubara for his steadfastness and focus at delivering the dividends of democracy to Rivers people, because, according to him, the governor’s detractors want him to fail.
