GOVERNOR Chibuike Amaechi has
appealed to those he has offended
with his actions and inactions in
the state as governor to forgive
him, saying he acted in the
interest of the state.
The governor in a pre- election
broadcast yesterday in Port Harcourt, also urged people of the
state to shun violence during the
coming governorship election.
He said people of the state should
note that the election was for the
progress of the state, adding that
the common good of the state
should be the concern of.all.
“As we prepare for that election,
we have a little time to reflect on
the issues at stake. It must be
about Rivers state. It must be
about its progress and the
prosperity of all who live here and
are from here.
“It must be about development,
good governance, peace and
security. We need to stand firm as
a people for what we believe in.
“When that day breaks, I encourage you all to come out with your Permanent Voters Cards,
walk to the polling station to get
accredited.
“Even if it rains, stand to be
counted. This election is about
your life, your safety, the
wellbeing of your loved ones, your
business, and the future of your
children, and ultimately, our great
state.
“Let it be said of you in the future
that you stood up to be counted.
Deep down inside everyone of us,
we want a peaceful, transparent,
credible and violence-free
election.”
As long as you remain peaceful
and law abiding people, the state
will ensure that its security
personnel act professionally, in
keeping you safe because they
and their families also have a
stake in a peaceful election.
Certainly, afflictions shall not rise
a second time.
Again, I call on the youth to
resolve not to be instruments in
the hands of politicians who don’t
wish our people well. Those who
divide and pitch us against
ourselves are not of us; they are
not our friends, they are our
enemies and we must avoid them.
