Rivers State governor, Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has declared that he will remain in office till May 29, 2015, when his tenure will expire, despite attempts to remove him from office.Amaechi made the declaration while speaking at a special thanksgiving service held in honour of the retired permanent secretary of the state Ministry of Lands and Survey, Pastor Christopher Briggs, at Redemption Ministries, Port Harcourt.
The governor, who was represented by the commissioner for lands and survey, Mr Ezemonye Ezekiel-Amadi, urged the people of the state to continue to pray for his administration.He said, “To Rivers people, I stand on the altar of God to assure you, particularly those who have in one way or the other supported this administration, that no matter the storm, this administration will serve out its tenure. “When you pray for us, pray with confidence; until May 29, 2015, this government will not hand over. Let me on behalf of the government and people of Rivers State thank you for your support and your prayers and hope that you will continue to support us until May 2015.”The governor lauded the retiring permanent secretary for his meritorious service to the state, describing him as a fulfilled man.He said, “It is a wonderful thing at the end of your service to gather your friends to thank God, especially when you don’t have any skeleton in your cupboard, to be found with $9.3 million. I am sure if I say you are feeling fulfilled, it is an understatement.”
