...As Free Rivers Development Initiative (FRDI) inaugurate TAI Local Government Unit Executives
The Free Rivers Initiative held the inaugural ceremony of the NGO in the LGA, at Kpite, Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State, on Saturday, January 27, 2018, and the ground breaking event attracted thousands of Ogoni sons and daughters, as well as their fellow Rivers brothers and sisters from other areas of the state, who trooped out to show solidarity and express their unalloyed loyalty to the leader of the party, the Honourable Minister of Transportation of the Federal Republic, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
The leader of the party, though, couldn't make it due to unforeseen circumstances, but with other illustrious sons and daughters of Rivers State, party leaders and stalwarts, under the able supervision of the Chairman of FRDI, Chief Sampson Ngeribgara, the occasion proceeded smoothly with huge record of attendance and reaffirmation of support to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
One of the party leaders who attended the event and greatly inspired the mammoth crowd with a wonderful speech, was none other than the Port Harcourt philanthropist, Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs.
In a very short speech that lasted for few minutes, Chief Lulu-Briggs described the gathering as an amazing one and called on Rivers people to bring down fear and raise courage:
"What we are seeing here today is amazing; clearly 2018 shall be an amazing year for all of us. The mantra in this state remains "One God, the Almighty God, One state, Rivers State, one party, the APC and One leader, the Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. It is written in the Bible that when you seek first the kingdom of God, all other things shall be added unto you. With this spiritual arrangement, and once you put things in their right order, it can only be one victory after another. And by 2019, Brick House for APC is assured. Of course, in Aso Rock, there's no vacancy.
The music that we feel in Rivers State today cannot be better expressed; there's despair everywhere. Fear, hate and despair have taken the place of courage, love and hope. The symbol of your dream for a better Rivers State is to restore that hope and love; and I believe that you have the capacity to do it. Today, we are collectively saying that fear must fall and courage must rise; we must rise up and raise one another and the time to do that has come.
"I want to thank all of you; we are proud that this mammoth crowd came out to honor our leader and our great party. Circumstances at the airport prevented him to be here as promised but his heart is with you. God bless you all."
