A political group operating under the aegis of Credible Majority People's Forum CMPF, yesterday 4 August, 2020 pay courtesy visit to Burutu Local Government Council Boss Hon. Godknows Angele at Burutu headquarters of Burutu Local Government Area.
Speaking on behalf of the group Mr. Matthew Ekpokeme who is the Chairman of CMPF, wholeheartedly thanked the Council Boss Hon. Godknows Angele for receiving and identifying with them.
He specifically thank the the Council Boss for resolving and bringing peace and order to Ogulagha community and the entire local government.
He said the body which is made-up of over 250 peoples is throwing their weight and total support for him as a result of his enormous achievements ranging infrastructural, human capital development, peace building etc...
He also postulated that a Revenue Liaison Office should be made at Ogulagha which will boost the Internally Generated Revenue IGR, and create job opportunities for the unemployed.
In reaction, the Chairman of Burutu Local Government Area, Hon. Godknows Angele express satisfaction for the group's giant strides and heartily thank and officially welcome them to his office.
He said he's emergency as chairman of Burutu Local Government has revived the local government. Most past chairmen has often times lived in Warri and other urban areas thereby leaving the local government headquarters abandoned.
Counting his achievement so far, he said he has succeeded in buying generator to supply power in Burutu town which was not seen in Burutu for years. He said money to buy diesel alone could discourage someone but because he meant good for the people, he has to continue.
He has also retained and continued to pay over 400 sweepers, who sweep and keep the Burutu town clean.
He spoke also on the legislative quarters for Twenty (20) Councillors completed, Building for the HPM and Treasurer of the local government also completed. Women empowerment amongst many others.
He further spoke on the awards of public toilets contracts to all the twenty councils that was built in their respective wards, because that was seen as a major problem of the riverine people.
His role in crisis management is a topmost priority, when there's crisis many things will go wrong. Properties and lives will be destroyed and government revenue will dwindled. And as such, he make it a call to duty as the Chief Security Officer of the Local Government to wade and ensure that the Ogulagha Crisis is resolved. Also in Ojobo there has being serious crisis any time there's community election resulting to injuries and most cases lost of live. But since his emergency, he has succeeded in curbing it.
He has succeeded in completing the building of the Police Area Command in Burutu town. And has just recently brought a Police post to Ogulagha community.
As a leader, despite your achievements people will still insult and criticised you. But despite his criticism, he has continued to remain focus and make sure he serve the good people of Burutu.
He thus, declared his interest for a second term as the Council boss but however said it is in the hand of God and not man.
He however, promised that Ogulagha community deserves a health Center from the government and not just the Cottage hospital as a result of her enormous resources she is producing for the government. If reelection, that will be his first project.
On the revenue office, the Council boss promised to look into it and get back to them.
High point of the events is entertainment of the CMPF members and taking of group photographs.
Present at the events is the Secretary to the Local Government, Hon. Perekeme, Advicer to the Local Government, Hon. Ignatius Ziakiagha, Supervisor Councillors and other officials of the local government.
