On Friday 12th January, 2019, the people of Etche were filled with
excitement as they paid host to the Hon. Minister of Transportation and Former
Gov. Of Rivers State Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Ameachi. The event which
witnessed a huge turn out of cream de la cream of Etche people who have made
waves in their various fields and are now change agents was held at the
Community Primary school Okehi Etche.
Speaking at the event, the Minister who expressed satisfaction
with the level of mobilization done applauded Etche APC for a job well done
adding that, they have really embraced change as no dime from him was given to
them to mobilize and they were able to gather this crowd present. He charged
them to do more and he wish other LGAs will emulate from them.
Receiving some
decampees from the PDP, the State Party Chairman assured them of equal
opportunities, adding that in APC there is no marginalization and there is no
late comer as everybody will be carried along. The State Party Chairman took
time to give the narrative of the exit of the former party chairman in the LGA
chief Dede Musa and that Musa was on his way to be suspended by the party as a
vote of no confidence was already passed on him before his resignation. Adding
that his exit will not in any way affect the fortune of the party in the LGA
come 2019.
During the event,

his good works in Etche adding that his imprint in Etche in terms of
infrastructural development can not be erased as during his tenure as Governor,

community in Etche that do not have their internal roads constructed, a health
centre or a school.

credible candidate"
