OKONTA EMEKA
Governor Peter Obi has charged President Goodluck Jonathan to remain focused and consolidate on achievements already recorded. Governor Obi was speaking to newsmen in his office at the Government House Awka.
He urged the President to concentrate on Electoral reforms, security and improved power supply, as these would attract investment, generate employment and build a country with opportunities for all.
The Governor extolled the tremendous contributions of late President Umaru Yar Adua to the stability and development of the country. He noted that the late President recorded commendable success in rebuilding the nation’s human infrastructure. Governor Obi recalled that the late President promoted equity and fairness and was very responsive to the needs and aspirations of the people.
The Secretary to the State Government, Paul Odenigbo, said the late President would be remembered for his humility and selfless service and prayed God to give the new President the wisdom and courage to achieve his vision.
Also speaking, the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Chief Maja Umeh noted that late President Yar’Adua was the first President to address the challenge of deplorable Federal roads in the South-East Zone and the dredging of the River Niger abandoned many decades ago.
The Information Commissioner expressed confidence that President Jonathan will continue from where his predecessor stopped while charging the electorate to look at the background of candidates before voting them to power.
