OGU/BOLO CARETAKER CHAIRMAN SWEARS IN OVER 150 POLITICAL AIDES FOR EMPOWERMENT PURPOSES

….Berates opposition for celebrating in ignorance over Supreme Court Judgment on Financial Autonomy for Local Govt.

The Chairman Caretaker Committee of Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area has sworn-in over 150 appointees into office as a means of economic empowerment and wealth creation.

Addressing the appointees after taking their oath office at the Ogu Magistrate Court, Evans Bipi said the move is in line with the directive of Governor Fubara and his policy on stomach infrastructure to empower the people with appointments as part of measures to mitigate the current economic hardship at the grassroots.

He said the appointment slots were evenly spread across the twelve Wards of Ogu/Bolo and even to non-indigenes to ensure balance representation, inclusivity and a sense of belonging in governance.

Evans Bipi asserted that the appointment will enhance the financial capacity of the appointees with a far-reaching ripple effect on their families and communities.

“The appointment of over 150 aides is part of my empowerment programme to ensure financial inclusion and enhance the financial capacity of breadwinners in Ogu/Bolo to enable them meet the rising needs of their households amidst the current economic situation in the country”.

The Caretaker Chairman also urged the people of Ogu/Bolo to remain peaceful in the face of provocation by loyalists of the FCT Minister in the area.

He said though no one has a monopoly of violence but members of the Simplified Movement in Ogu/Bolo decided to toe the path of peace due to the peaceful nature of Governor Fubara.

“God is on our side, Our Governor is a peacemaker, let’s toe the path of peace, let us not be swayed or intimidated by their lies, they live by lies. Our Governor is a man of few words, he does not talk much but he does much, so don’t join issue with them”

Evans Bipi also berated the opposition for jubilating in ignorance over the Supreme Court verdict on financial autonomy for Local Government system not knowing the implication of the judgment.

“The Supreme Court gave a judgment that federal allocation should be paid directly to the 774 Local Government Areas of the country and some people are jubilating ignorantly not knowing the implication of the judgment, truly ignorance is a big disease”.

“What it means is that as against the usual practice the allocation should be paid directly to me your Council Chairman for the delivery of governance to you and not to someone else who is not the Council Chairman.”

“It is laughable that some people decided to deliberately misinterpret the judgment to soothe themselves, hoodwink the public and give their gullible followers false hope”.

The Ogu/Bolo Caretaker Chairman Evans Bipi also charged the appointees to key into his development agenda, bring their experiences to bear and contribute positively to the development of the LGA.

“I charge all appointees to key into my vision and policy direction on economic empowerment a.k.a stomach infrastructure and human capital development which aims at reducing the scourge of hunger and hardship in our land”.

“As you assume your new roles today, I urge you to be diligent, upright and live above-board in all your dealings in office”.

“You must bring your experiences to bear and make positive contribution for the good governance of Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area”

Responding on behalf of the appointees, the Confidential Secretary Christy Tamunobereton-ari expressed appreciation to the Ogu/Bolo Caretaker Chairman Evans Bipi for given them the opportunity to serve and at the same empowering them financially with the appointments.
