As Nigerians continue felicitate with Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and his wife, Justice SuzzetteNyesom-Wike, on the conferment of chieftaincy titles, ‘The Eagle of Tiv Nation’ and ‘Nest of Eagle of Tiv Nation’ respectively, the Sole Administrator, Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA), Bro. Felix Obuah has described the honour as well deserved and a proof of his mettle as a bridge builder and believer in a united, peaceful Nigeria.
Obuah in a statement in Port Harcourt said the conferment of the Tiv chieftaincy titles on the First Rivers Family did not come to him as a surprise because, according to him, Governor Wike has demystified governance by clearly exceeding the expectations of Rivers people and Nigerians as a whole in every facet of development.
Obuah who is the immediate past Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, further described the honour accorded the First Family as not just for them, but the people of Rivers State as a whole.
“The Tiv Nation, by this singular gesture to our Governor and his dear wife, has confirmed the highly held belief that behind a successful man lies a woman. We are grateful to God for giving our Governor a wife with the requisite capacity to measure up with His Excellency’s pace of pragmatic governance in the State”, Bro. Obuah enthused.
The RIWAMA boss further described the Tiv chieftaincy titles on Governor Wike and wife, Justice Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, as a rare attainment and expressed the hope that more laurels from outside the shores of the State are on the way of the Governor while urging Rivers people to continue to support his administration.
“The Eagle is the king of the birds, and these chieftaincy titles bestowed on the first family by the Tiv nation is a recognition of Governor Wike’s kingly performance, with his wife as the nest where the governor draws comfort and support.
“But beyond the comfort of his dear wife, Governor Wike needs the support and encouragement of Rivers people, as a way of reciprocating the great work he is doing in the State”, Obuah declared.
