This is the unequivocal statement we made on Monday to support the re-election of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and Sir Siminalayi Fubara GSSRS for a second term in office.

As Rivers people we have our gains to count from Bonny people who are happy to visit their communities by road following the completion of the Bonny -Bodo Road and its extension to East West road to Kara-Andoni Road abandoned by previous administrations but now bearing completion through the effective leadership in the NDDC, to the humongous impact the Lagos - Calabar Highway would have on our economy and that of the south South geopolitical zone.
