In continuation of his commitment to alleviating the pains of Rivers people during the fight against coronavirus, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has distributed foodstuffs and other items to the people of Bonny Local Government Area.
Wike, who was represented by the Chairman of the Rivers State COVID-19 Palliatives Committee, Desmond Akawor, assured the people of his administration’s commitment to always promote their welfare.
The Rivers State Governor said no part of the state will be excluded from the sharing of palliatives because the entire population is feeling the impact of the sit-at-home directive to check coronavirus.
He said that his administration will continue to reach out to the less privileged all through the period of the struggle.
He appealed to the ward distribution officials to ensure that everyone gets the foodstuffs distributed by the Rivers State Government.
He said that the State Government ensured that clerics, women leaders, youth leaders and community development committees form part of the distribution network because the distribution of the foodstuffs must not be politicized.
The lawmaker representing Bonny Constituency in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Abinye Pepple thanked the Rivers State Governor for ensuring that the less privileged in Bonny LGA got the palliatives.
Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area, David Irimagha warned that any report of hijacking of the foodstuffs at any of the wards will be met with sanctions.
Responding to the gesture of the Governor, Rev. Joshua Ogbologwung, Ward 11, stated that the committee members will distribute the foodstuffs to all the less privileged people in the area.
Rev. Ebonine Stephen, Ward 9, thanked the Rivers State Governor for his commitment to the welfare of Rivers people.
Didi Alison (Ward 6), Rev. Anderson Ukot (Ward 8), Bishop Dappa Abbey (Ward 10), Apostle Mark Nicodemus (Ward 1) and Joel Tolofari (Ward 12) said that they will not disappoint their people as the foodstuffs will get to the people.
