“Therefore, a lot of Rivers people are volunteering to be part of this work. And I can announce to you today, we have increased the number from 100,000 to 200,000.” The governor said the appointments will help the people with “assessment of government and policies, whether positive or negative, and transmit same as feedback to his office through the constituency and ward liaison officers”.The governor said his administration will not relent in discharging its duties in the remaining months of its tenure, even though a lot has already been achieved.
“It is me who is appointing. It is me that wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. It is not you outside because you are not part of government. I know what it takes and I know that these people will help me. Now that I am finishing, I want to finish very well,” he said.
