The immediate past Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman, Chief Ibiamu Davies Ikanya has congratulated Ojukaye Flag-Amachree as the new chairman of the party in the state.
He described Flag-Amachree as the divine tool in God’s hands to restore hope to the people of Rivers State after the traumatic and wasted four years of the devilish regime of Governor Nyesome Wike.
“Having observed and worked with Ojukaye for quite some years, I am convinced that he will bring the needed energy, dynamism, vigour, sagacity and vision to bear on our collective struggle to make Rivers State the desired and destination State as envisioned by the founding fathers of the State” Ikanya said.
Commending the party’s leaders in the South -South region, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Dr Dakuku Peterside the Director General of NIMASA, other party leaders and members for granting him the opportunity to serve and reassured the party of his unalloyed loyalty.
Ikanya described Amaechi as a true democrat who is ahead of his time, “a true Lion and hero whose political sagacity and wisdom saw us through this period of turbulent, unpredictable and unprecedented political challenges. His inputs during this period of our political history have exposed him as a leader in the mold of Zik, Awo, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Sir Ahamdu Bello and of course Aminu Kano. If he continues in this zeal and sagacity, I am convinced that his services will restore hope to our nation.”
He urged all members of the party to unite under the leadership of Amaechi so that the APC could reclaim power in 2019.
