Some prominent political leaders in Andoni local government Area of Rivers State, have commended the Erastus Awortu led administration for proffering solution to insecurity and decayed infrastructure in the area, Thecitypulsenews reports.
They commended him on achievements as his tenure gradually runs to an end while also pledging support for his second term bid.
The group made their position known over the weekend, at Ngo, Headquarters of the council during a solidarity visit to the council’s chairman.
They also commended former governor Nyesom Wike in his commitment to the actualisation of the renewed hope agender of the President Tinubu led administration.
The leaders and stakeholders comprised of past and present political leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC) and Labour Party (LP) as well as Elder Statesmen, Community Leaders, Youth and Women Leaders of the area.
According to them, their resolve to remain loyal to Nyesom Wike was in appreciation of his support for Erastus Awortu in the 2021 Local Government Chairmanship election.
One of them, Mrs Mabel Ogolo, National Women Leader of the GrassRoots Development Initiative (GDI) noted that by the help of God and political inspiration, Wike during his tenure spotted Erastus Awortu to rescue Andoni.
“Indeed, the choice was right because within weeks into his administration, Andoni became so peaceful and free from the challenges of insecurity and underdevelopment which bedeviled the area,” she said.
Mr Sampson Ngerebara, also a prominent APC chieftain and governorship aspirant in the 2023 general election described Awortu’s administration as a fulfillment of an Andoni of his dream where the people’s resources were channeled at rebuilding infrastructure and human capacity.
In his response, the Council Chairman, Awortu thanked the leaders for their continued support irrespective of political crisis in the state while also commending their loyalty to the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.
The chairman also pledged commitment to the growth and development of the area adding that he will rather give up his second term bid than work with politicians whose actions in the past truncated the peace and development of the area.

The Nigerian police has finally approved the planned nationwide protests and outlined conditions for participants.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed this on Friday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He urged all groups planning to participate in the proposed nationwide protest to submit their details to the Commissioners of Police in their respective states.
The police boss said this was to ensure the protest was peaceful.
Egbetokun said, “We acknowledge the constitutional right of Nigerian citizens to peaceful assembly and protest.
“However, in the interest of public safety and order, we urge all groups planning to protest to provide necessary details to the Commissioner of Police in the state where the protest is intended to take place.
“To facilitate a successful and incident-free protest, they should please provide the following information: state the proposed protest routes and assembly points; expected duration of the protest; and names and contact details of protest leaders and organisers.”
The police boss said the information expected from the organisers also include measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements, as well as key identifiers for possible isolation of potential troublemakers.
By providing the information, he said, the police will be able to deploy adequate personnel and resources to ensure public safety.
He said the police needed to know the specific routes and areas for the protest to avoid conflicts with other events or activities.
Mr Egbetokun said the police will “establish clear communication channels with protest leaders to address any concerns or issues that may arise; minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or other criminal activity.
“We encourage all protesters to cooperate with the police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly to guarantee a safe and successful exercise of their rights.
