deserving recipient, but an opportunity to formalize the divine marriage

between opposition political parties in Rivers State and the unique

revolutionary government of Amaechi..the gathering in Angulama is symbolic

in its representation of total acceptance of differing political views

united for the common purpose of moving the state forward””.

Chief Hon. Ngoye Igobo, Chairman Organising Committee of the occasion,

who is also a trail blazer from the town being the first and only elected

member of the State House of Assembly from the town till date remarked

thus, “..To all indigenes of Angulama, 5th December, 2009 will remain

evergreen in our minds as a memorable day in the history of the town”. He

Area over 20 years ago and indeed amongst the three Kalabari LGA's, Rt.

any other Community outside Buguma, Abonnema and Bakana within these three

LGA's. Furthermore, he stated that prior to this administration,

Government presence was limited to uncompleted projects that include the

abandoned NDDC Jetty construction project awarded in 1994. The Primary

School Building, which gave Hon. Osima Ginah, the foundation for his

education was built by the community just as the town hall.

Chief Y.O.C Georgewill, Chairman of Chiefs and Elders Council reiterated

that the community will ever remain indebted to Gov. Amaechi for this

honour done it by the appointment of a son of the soil into the exalted

office of Cabinet member in the Rivers State Government.

am overwhelmed with all that is happening and what can I say except to

express my heartfelt gratitude to the Almighty God that has counted me

worthy of this elevation in so short a time.”
