Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi of
Rivers State has reiterated the
commitment of his administration to
provide basic infrastructure that will
not only have direct bearing on the
lives of the people but also fast tract
the development of the state.
Governor Amaechi, who was speaking today
at the Royal House of Grace
International Church, Port Harcourt,
where he worshipped, said the state
government was moving towards achieving
steady electricity supply to the state
capital.
The Governor observed that the problem
people are having with electricity
supply in some parts of the state,
especially in the state capital, was a
local problem associated with
transformers, and not because there was
no power supply.
He therefore urged those residing in
areas having problem with power supply
to report such cases to the Ministry of
Power for attention, because the state
has procured enough transformers with a
bid to check incessant power failure.
The State Chief Executive hinted that
Government was building a new
sub-station at Rumuolumeni, to boost
power supply to Mgbuoba and Choba axis
of the city, that is presently
experiencing inadequate power supply.
Governor Amaechi, who also re-affirmed
the readiness of Government to sustain
the peace and security in the state,
stressing that government would not
allow the state to be drawn back to the
dark days of hostility where it has come
from, pointing out that “some persons
who were in government in those days
when people could not move freely were
planning to cause trouble simply because
I refused to share money with them”.
The governor pointed out that the
present administration was doing a lot
of projects, and what was required from
the people was their prayers and
support, to move the state forward,
saying that the people need to be
patient.
The Governor who declined to sit in the
reserved seat for VIP in the Church,
rather opted to seat in the crowd among
fellow worshipers.
Earlier in a Sermon, Pastor Chibuzor
Anucha emphasized the need for
Christians to always exercise faith and
make positive confessions, no mater the
circumstances in which they find
themselves.
He pointed out that problems does not
move God, rather it is the positive
confessions that depict faith in a
believer that would attract God’s favour.
“If the way you think do not change, you
cannot move forward”, he said and called
for practical demonstration of faith
from religious faithful.
