Rivers All Progressives Congress,
APC, Chieftain, Senator Magnus Abe has commended the Rivers State Governor,
Nyesom Wike for taking concrete measures to resolve the challenges facing the
state.
Speaking during a funeral service
in honour of Late Mrs Fyna Oby Atuzie-Boms, Wife of Former Attorney General of
Rivers State, Barrister Worgu Boms at the Civic Centre in Port Harcourt on
Saturday, Senator Abe said while some people were looking for the causes of
Rivers political challenges, Governor Wike is seeking solutions.
He said: “I want to stand here
today to confirm that you are trying. I want to remember the broadcast you made
where you said we should all come together and you were going to enter a nolle
in respect of our younger brother, Ojukaye Flag Amachree.
“I also want to recollect all the
efforts you have made, not just in words, but in action to end the bitterness
and division that have characterised the politics of Rivers State. I want to say
here today that some people are busy looking for who is causing the problem.
But you are trying to look for solutions.
“I think we should align with
those who are looking for solutions and leave those who are looking for
causes.”
Senator Magnus Abe regretted that
bitterness and hatred have characterised the politics of Rivers State, making
it impossible for Rivers people to come together to fight for Rivers
Development.
“The greatest challenge that
Rivers State faces today is not all the things we have mentioned. It is the
fact that hatred, bitterness have characterized our politics and have divided
us in a way that we have never been divided before.
“It has made it impossible for us
to come together to face the challenges that are confronting our state. I want
to thank the Governor of Rivers State for leading by example. I have always
said Your Excellency should be a Governor to all Rivers people, both those that
like joy and those that don’t. Those that voted for you and those that did
not”, Senator Abe said.
The Former Federal lawmaker
called for a change of attitude towards tackling the menace of cancer, which
claimed the life of Late Mrs Fyna Oby Atuzie-Boms.
He said that the Nigerian society
must take concrete steps to confront cancer in order to check the number of
lives being claimed by the cancer scourge.
He called for investments in the
area of cancer treatment, so that the lives of the people can be preserved.
In a remark, Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike said that he knew the Late Mrs Fyna Oby
Atuzie-Boms, whom he described as a good woman.
He advised the Former Attorney
General of Rivers State, Barrister Worgu Boms to always draw strength from the
two children that his late wife left behind and take care of them.
In a condolence message to the
Former Attorney General of Rivers State, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo
Wike said he received the news of the passing of Late Mrs Fyna Oby Atuzie-Boms
with shock.
“My wife and I were shocked to
hear of the untimely passing of your beloved wife, Fyna Boms. That her life was
cut short too soon is a tragic loss and we can only imagine how difficult this
must be for you, her entire family, as well as her friends and colleagues.
“Full of life and conscientious,
Fyna was not just a treasure to your life, she was a wonderful lady admired by
people across all sections for her dynamism, devotion, charm and graciousness
“, Governor Wike wrote to the widower.
“On behalf of the Government and
People of Rivers State, I extend our deepest condolences to you and members of
her family over this irreparable loss “, Governor Wike wrote.
