PORT-HARCOURT: The Association of Ex-Local Government Chairmen of Nigeria (ASELGON) has commended Rivers State Governor, Barrister Nyesom Wike for providing succour to the entire people of the state to cushion the effect of the lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a press released signed by the National President, Hon. Albert Asipa and National Secretary, Hon. Sahabo Aliyu Gurin, the group stated the uneveiling of new buses to convey the citizens free of charge is a welcome development at this trying times.
“This is a testimony that Governor Wike always put the interest of his people uppermost in his heart” the statement reads
ASELGON further urged the Governor’s critics to have an on-the-spot assessment of the state in order to see his people-oriented projects which are visible to the eyes
ASELGON however, ADVISED the governor not to relent on his efforts to provide basic amenities to his people as this would continue to linger on after leaving office as governor.
The group noted with pride that Governor Wike as a former local government chairman in the state had brought his experience at the grassroots level to bear in state governance
In another development, ASELGON has sent a condolence message to the governor on the demise of Hon. Odian Princewill, who until his death was the chairman of Asari Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Describing the death of Hon. Princewill as a great loss, not only to Rivers State governor and the deceased’s immediate family, but to ALGON generally, the association prayed that God Almighty gave the family the strength to bear the painful and irreparable loss
