Youth Leader Hails Amaechi’s Victory
Last Wednesday’s Victory of Governor Chibuike Amaechi over Chief Bekinbo Sobrekon at the Appeal Court in Port Harcourt has been attributed to the will of God, just as the Governor’s ascendance to the top position of the state.
The Vice President of the Rivers State Youth Assembly (RYA), Comrade Destiny Amadi stated this in a chat with The Tide at the weekend.
According to Comrade Amadi, the victory is an indication that “God truly has a hand in the fortunes of Amaechi as Governor of Rivers State.”
“Look of the manner in which he became the Governor. Only few people could imagine it to be possible. What or who else can perform such miracle but God? “he said.
While congratulating the Governor on the victory, Amadi used the opportunity to urge him to see his position as divine, saying that, “God gives, and God takes. The only way he (Amaechi)” can justify God’s blessings upon his life is to rule Rivers State well, without bias, to God’s glory.
Amadi, however, noted that the Governor cannot do it alone, hence he called on all and sundry, who he called “genuine stakeholders in Rivers State,” to support the governor in “steering the state to a better level of development.”
“He also advised the opposition saying: “oppositions are important in any civilized setting to keep the rulership on its toes. But they should go beyond seeing only negative side by also seeing the positive sides and profer solutions to problems to make the state better.”

As part of activities marking his 100 days in office, the Chairman of Ahoada West Local Government Council, Hon Iyekor Ikporo, has commissioned a solar water project at Odiereke Ubie Community.
Other projects commissioned by the chairman at Ward 9 of the local government are Late Emperial Majesty, Eze Robinson O.Robinson palace fence, generator house and security post.
Recall that the palace of the revered deceased King was affected by the recent flood, which destroyed the fence and virtually all his property until the current council chairman came to the rescue.
The ovation that greeted the chairman’ s demonstration of exemplary leadership could be seen in the reception accorded him during the commissioning ceremony.
In her remarks, the wife of the late monarch, Her Majesty Felicia Robinson,who could not hold back her tears, commended the council chairman for wiping away her tears.
She described the chairman as God-sent, and called on the new Eze Ekpeye Lobo 111, King Kelvin Anugwo, to honour the Ahoada West chairman for this singular gesture.
She also called for continuous support of the council chairman and the Governor of the State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, for leading the people on the path of progress.
Earlier, the Eze Ekpeye Logbo 111, Eze Kelvin Anugwo, had commended the chairman for taking bold steps to reconstruct the palace fence and other facilities, and expressed gratitude to the chairman for his passion to deliver the dividends of democracy to his people.
While suing for peace and unity of the people, the first class traditional ruler, stressed the need for division among the people to be jettisoned by all and sundry, for the overall development of the Ekpeye ethnic nationality.
In his remarks, the council chairman narrated the significant milestones his administration has recorded within the past three months in office.
He said since charity begins at home, he has taken steps to provide basic necessities to the Ward where he hails from, contending that for a long time, the people of Odiereke Ubie Community had no drinking water, hence, his decision to provide potable and well treated water that would stand the test of time.
He said, “You can recall that when we came here canvassing for votes for our dear Governor, while listening to the requests of our people, lack of potable water in the area was a topmost setback and challenge and that is why on assuming office, we decided to address it.”
