In 30 Days, I’ll Set Rivers State on Path to Economic Boom – Action Alliance Guber Candidate

-
  


Action Alliance Governorship candidate in Rivers State, Larry Allison says barely a month after he is sworn into office as Governor of Rivers State he will set the state on the path of accelerated economic progress.

He stated that with the enormous economic resources at its disposal, Rivers State has no business surviving on handouts from the Federation Account, promising to extricate her from the current economic quagmire it was experiencing.  

Allison, who was a gubernatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015, said he moved to Action Alliance to actualize his ambition of providing the strategic leadership the state needs to take her pride of place in the comity of economically buoyant states.

“Rivers State has more than enough economic resources that she does not need to wait for Federal Government handouts. I have put things in place that will be put in motion in 30 days of my administration”.

Recently, the state has been taking top spots on the list of states with negative economic indices. Just last year, it was rated as the state with the highest unemployment rate. It was also rated topmost on the misery index.

Currently, the state that formerly topped the chart as the most educationally advanced state in the country with pupils and students from the state winning laurels both at home and abroad, has been classified as very backward educationally.

A key indicator of the negative trend of its educational standing is the rate of youngsters being killed daily or apprehended by security agencies for diverse crimes. Lack of infrastructure, understaffing, and a gaping lack of policy on education by the current administration in the state has set the state backward drastically.  

Just last week there were about five reported incidents of cult-related killings involving youths aged between 20 and 25 in different parts of Port Harcourt, the state capital.


The ex-security czar disclosed that his team has put together an economic blueprint to rescue the state from the plummeting economic status and return it to the path of economic progress.

The Senator representing Rivers South East in the Senate, Senator Magnus Abe says he can be trusted with the office of Governor of Rivers State.  He further stated that he was ready for the position and the 2019 gubernatorial  election that would usher him into the office.  Senator Abe, who said this when he visited Bonny Local Government Area at the weekend, distinguished himself from the character of the Senator representing Rivers East, Senator Andrew Uchendu.  The Gokana born former Secretary to the State Government, has been embroiled in an unending power tussle with the Minister of Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, over who controls the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).  "I am not like Andrew Uchendu who stood before the Etche people and said he would  only run for one term. But as soon as he heard there will be indirect primaries and he has the support of the leader of the party, he went back to the secretariat and bought form fo

L-R Larry, Mina, and Quincy with His Majesty, King Edward William Dappa Pepple III, Perekule XI, Amanyanabo and Natural Ruler of Grand Bonny Kingdom. It began like any other day but when delectably dressed ladies daintily attired and resplendent in the best of Bonny traditional and other beautiful apparels began streaming into the hallowed and serene environs of the St. Stephen’s Cathedral Church, Bonny, it was obvious that something spectacular was about unfolding. The day was Monday, 31st December, 2018. Before long the cathedral’s auditorium was filled to the entrance with guests hanging outside. Then the church bells clanged away as the embodiment of piety, the Very Reverend Richard Ibituru Hart led his fellow clergy into the church hall to commence the thanksgiving service in honour of a lady of many parts, Mrs. Mina Larry Pepple. Husband of celebrant, Amasenibo Larry Pepple The celebrant, Mrs. Mina Larry Pepple Chiefs Dagogo Adda Allison and Abel Att
