A group under the aegis of Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural
Organisation Worldwide (an umbrella body representing all Ikwerre people) has
congratulated the President elect General Muhammadu Buhari on his resounding
victory in the just concluded Presidential Polls.
In a statement jointly signed by its President
General, Prof. Augustine Onyeozu, and Secretary General, Chief Augustine
Okajile as well as the President of Ikwerre Development Association, Sir Chris
N. Chinwo said, “Ikwerre people with one accord proudly identify with the voice
of the people which of course is the voice of God. We are confident that Buhari
will obviously take our great nation to enviable heights. We take this
opportunity to thank President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat in a very
civilized manner”.
The group also appreciated Governor Chibuike Amaechi
for his achievements in the state particularly on road construction, education,
healthcare delivery, agriculture, and infrastructure and welfare services.
According to the group, Governor Amaechi has
distinguished himself in a position as high-class achiever.
“We also congratulate our son, Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi, the Governor of Rivers State and Director General of
Buhari/Osinbanjo Campaign Organisation for being part of this success. As you round up your tenure as First Ikwerre
Governor of Rivers State of Nigeria, the 'Ochi Ohnas' of Ikwerre and members of
the National Executive of Ogbakor Ikwerre Cultural Organisation Worldwide
jointly convey this message of sincere appreciation to you for your outstanding
performance to date”.
“By your excellent performance, you have earned for
yourself a distinguished position as high class achiever, along with the class
of Governor Diette-Spiff in the state in the 70's, in different aspects of
development particularly on road construction, education, provision of health
services, agriculture, and infrastructure and welfare services”.
“You have set a new standard that subsequent governors
of the state will always struggle to meet.
Your developmental strides speak for themselves. Everybody can see that Port Harcourt now
wears a new look. We have hardly had it
so good”.
“Above all, you have reduced to the barest minimum the
presence of the ugly syndrome called “Upland/Riverine dichotomy” which had been
the bane of our otherwise lovely state. We recognize that the fight against
this lacuna is critical for peace and stability in this state. We therefore,
support this fight and encourage you not to relent. The Ikwerre ethnic
nationality is proud of you”.
