As part of efforts to galvanise grassroots support for the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, a political pressure group, “Former Local Government Councils Appointees In Rivers State” has inaugurated its local government areas and ward coordinators across the 23 local government areas of the State.

“We come from diverse backgrounds, but share a common vision: a peaceful political structure for the overall advancement of the citizenry. We acknowledge the significant sacrifices made by our leaders, particularly our Grand Patrons, Rt Hon Evans Bapakaye Bipi, Rt Hon Edison Ehie. We appreciate the unwavering support and dedication our governor has received from you all.
“Our group is committed to listening to your voices, amplifying your concerns, and working tirelessly to assist you in actualising the goals and gains of democracy through the visionary leadership of the state governor” she stated.
The DG, however, used the opportunity to appeal to the Governor Fubara to consider members of the group in appointments into positions of thrust in the state as well as provision of bus and office space among other things.
Earlier in his address, the chairman of the occasion, Dr Cyril Okerenwogba, commended the various coordinators for their dedication and commitment towards achieving the goals of the association and urged them to carry the message of support to Governor Fubara to the grassroots.
He opined that the state governor had become an embodiment of peace and humility, stressing that Rivers people were happy with his disposition and style of governance.
“Governor Fubara has demystified the office of the governor as people now feel free to talk with him and discuss with out any form of fear and harassment”, she said, and urged members of the group to continue in their support for the governor to enable him succeed in his quest to advance the developmental frontiers of the state.
The climax of the event was presentation of awards to some CTC Chairmen in the state.
