Rivers State Deputy Governor Dr. (Mrs.) Ipalibo Harry Banigo has urged members of the National People’s Democratic Party Ex-Councillors Forum to mentor the youths as a way of curbing Youth restiveness.
The Deputy Governor stated this during a meeting with members of the Degema Local Government Chapter of the National PDP Ex Councillors Forum at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
According her “use your positions as ex councillors to mentor and put these young people under your tutelage, let them know they have a bright future and refrain from social vices like, pipeline vandalism, oil theft, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, cultism and gangsteriseem”
Dr. Banigo said Politics is about serving the people selflessly; stressing that the Wike led Government is making concerted efforts in the face of scarce resources to deliver on its campaign promises to the Rivers People.
She said gone are the days when politicians come to make bogus promises to the people without fulfilling them, noting that in 2019, Political Parties seeking for positions must present their score card.
“Nigerians and indeed the Rivers People are wiser, votes will count in 2019, let all eligible voters arm themselves with their voter’s card, no amount of intimidation or federal might can thwart the will of the Rivers People”. Dr. Banigo said.
In their remarks the forum co-ordinator in Delga Hon. Victor Origbenba and Secretary Hon. Ngo Bob-manuel promised to mentor the youths and mobilize the entire citizenry to support the Wike led Government.
