Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt Hon Prince Chibudom Nwuche has called on the People of Ochigba Community in Ahoada East local government Area of Rivers State to cast all their votes for the Peoples Democratic Party in the March 18 Governorship and House of Assembly elections.
Speaking when he addressed the people at the community hall, Nwuche thanked them for their conduct and turn out during the February 25th presidential and National Assembly elections and for voting according to the directive of the State PDP and urged them to come out in their numbers with their PVCs come March 18 to vote all PDP candidates. This according to Nwuche, is a panacea to attract more development to the community and also guarantee employment and empowerment opportunities for indigenes of the community, noting that Rivers state under Barr Nyesom Wike has witnessed tremendous developments in terms of infrastructure and human capacity development across all the local governments and ethnic groups, especially the Edeoha/Ikata/Ochigba road that was done by the Wike administration and the only way to appreciate and reciprocate the good gestures of the governor is by voting for PDP, assuring them that a victory for PDP will attract more developments to the community under Siminialayi Fubara as governor.
In his speech the paramount ruler of the community Chief Goodluck Oloko thanked Hon Nwuche for the purposeful and exemplary leadership he has provided in the community especially his swift response to issues in the community that requires his attention. Chief Oloko particularly commended Nwuche for his intervention during the 2022 flood that ravaged the area by promptly sending food and other relief materials and boats used to evacuate people from the community, emphasizing that one of the ways the community will repay Nwuche is by obeying 100% his directives which he assured will be adhered to.
