F.G APPOINTMENTS: Appreciate, Support Amaechi.... Eze Urges Ogoni People

A foundation member of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has called on Ogoni people to reciprocate the kind gesture of the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, for favouring them with appointments and siting of vital projects in their land.

Reacting to the inauguration of the second Governing Council of Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) and Board of Trustees of Ogoni Trust Fund, in Abuja, by the Secretary to Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha, on behalf of President Mohammadu Buhari, Chief Eze said that Ogoni people have been rewarded with appointments, particularly in the board of HYPREP and also the  Onne Deep Seaport, adding that more would soon come along their way.

He appealed to them to reciprocate the gesture of the Minister by supporting his leadership.

He pointed out that Rt. Hon. Amaechi is a detribalised Rivers man that will not discriminate against any part of Rivers state and that he would ensure that justice and fair play was accorded to Ogoni people.

He recalled that as a Governor, Rt. Hon. Amaechi gave key appointments to Ogoni sons and daughters, adding that he would also do it again.

The party stalwart said the appointment of Dr. Michael Nwielaghi, Comr. Celestine Akpobari and Mr. George Feyi, was a display of strict adherence to meritocracy by the federal government, which according to him, is good for timely results of set objectives. 

He described them as men of proven competence in public service with standing records of rare intelligence and mastery in their various fields.

"I commend the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, for ensuring that the Ogonis are always included in the scheme of things". 

"Bringing competent Ogoni people into the administration of relevant organs in the remediation work gives the people a sense of participation in the clean up exercise, which is the biggest, most wide-ranging and long term project to be carried out in the world".

"I  call on the Ogonis and the good people of Rivers State to continue to support the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressives Congress and  the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, as the Minister will continually ensure that Rivers people and indeed, each part of the country gets a fair share of democratic dividends under the current administration".

Furthermore, Chief Eze expressed delight that the APC led government has continued to stay true to its promise of restoring a healthy environment to the people of Ogoni through the clean up exercise.

He recalled  that the Ogoni remediation project had suffered neglect under the corrupt system of administration operated by the former PDP government, which was warped by greedy red tape and unnecessary executive bureaucracies.
