Dear Good people of Rivers state, tomorrow, Saturday 19th March offers us the opportunity to reelect our National and state legislative members.
For us as Rivers people, this is a very important day in our history. It’s a day for us reelect legislatures who would move our state forward or would retrogress the current developmental strides of this current administration.
We as a people still have fresh memories of the cruelty melted out on us by the past Administration. We remember vividly that our Courts were closed for more than a year, leaving our brothers, sons, fathers, daughters and mothers who were supposed to get Judgement, languishing in Prison.
We remember how economic activities in the state were paralyzed, with civil servants and pensioners owed salaries ranging from 4-6 months. And how the former Governor told pensioners to go and die when they cried out.
Our internal roads were abandoned and completely dilapidated under the former APC led administration with their legislative members keeping deaf ears to the Cry’s of Rivers People.
We also remember how the last APC administration ruled this state with Impunity and total disregard for God, man and the rule of Law.
Today this same APC are presenting themselves for relection after conniving with the Appeal court to steal our mandate of the able and dynamic legislatures we had elected.
This same APC in Rivers State are telling us to vote for them because they are the ruling govt at the Center. As Rivers people, we find this laughable because with what is happening at the center, voting legislatures simply because their party is ruling at the center would be tantamount to suicide.
As Rivers people, we have suffered the adverse consequences of the incompetence of the government at center. A bag of Pure water has risen to #250 with a satchet being sold for #20. As an oil producing state, we’ve not hard fuel to buy on a consistent Basis, as we have suffered constant non availability of Fuel with the available ones being sold for Exorbitant Prices. The list is endless.
As Indigenous people who are free born, we should not allow ourselves and our land to be enslaved by traitors who have connived with outsiders to loot our resources.
The current government under the Leadership of Barr Nyesom Wike has in 9 months done a lot to banish the bad memories of the past administration. Our courts have been opened, backlog of salaries paid and massive infrastructural development of the state ongoing. The list is endless.
This developmental strides would be in big threat if able and dynamic legislative members are not elected to support this vision at both the state and federal level.
Voting Wike’s Men is the solution to our fear of the unimaginable consequences of having bad legislatures. Below are a list of Wike’s Men For both the State and National legislatures. Below are Wike’s Men;
