The sleepy town of Abonnema in Akuku Toru LGA was recently roused from its slumber when prominent members of the PDP gathered at the newly built stadium to commission it and watch as the GbaramatuVoice newspaper bestowed the award of the Best Performing Local Government Chairman in the Niger Delta for the year 2020, on the youthful LGA chairman – Hon. Rowland Charles Sekibo.

The icing on the cake was the presentation of flags to the councilorship aspirants from the 17 wards in the LGA.

Leading the commissioning was the representative of the Rivers State governor – Chief Engr. Emeka Woke who is the Chief of Staff to the Government House, the leader of the Elders’ Council of the PDP – Chief Ferdinand Anabraba, the Secretary to the Rivers State Government – Hon. Dr. Tammy Danagogo, a commissioner – Chief Hon. David Briggs, a Special Adviser to the governor – Hon. Dema Iyalla, Hon. Sam Ohia, Hon. Andy Wanjoku, etc.

In his speech, the chairman gave God the glory for his performance and promised not to let down all who trusted him enough to give him the flag to recontest for a second tenure – the first to receive such a favour since the LGA was created.
Areas he said he would concentrate on next include giving bursary yearly to students as well as giving those in the Oceania axis skills acquisition programmes, among other laudable projects.
