‘Wike’s Dev Strides, Actualising Founding Fathers’ Vision’
The former lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly (RVHA) has applauded Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, for acutalising the vision of the founding fathers of Rivers State, through infrastructural developments in the state.
Speaking for the lawmakers at the special plenary session of the 8th Golden Jubilee in Port Harcourt, recently a member of the Sixth Assembly, Hon Tony Opiah, said Governor Wike’s commitment in developmental strides has shown that the Governor has the same vision with the founding fathers of the state, whose struggle geared toward the liberation of Rivers’ people from injustice, oppression and marginalization.
He commended Governor Wike for leading Rivers State uprightly in the area of development and fight against injustice in the state.
Opiah, who acknowledged the fact that justice is the hallmark of peace and unity called on Rivers’ people to shun any activity that would lead to injustice for peace to reign in the state.
According to him, fifty years of existence is enough to build an egalitarian state, where all citizens should have equal stakes and opportunities.
The former lawmakers also commended the 8th Assembly for its commitment and legislative support to Governor Wike in achieving dividends of democracy in the state.
Opiah who recalled several bills so far passed into laws by the current legislature, said those laws are friendly to the rapid developmental strides in the state.
Also speaking, the minority leader of the 8th Assembly, Hon Benibo Anabraba, expressed the need to use the Golden Jubilee to reform policies that would bring about a labour friendly atmosphere in the state.
Anabraba wants the Nigeria’s constitution to be reviewed to allow labour policy to be brought to the concurrent list from the exclusive list of government.
He said, Rivers State at 50th is worth celebrated, despite the challenges confronting the state.
