Former Chairman of Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, Hon. Ichemati Ezebunwo has handed over administration of the council to the Head of Administration inline with Gov Sim Fubara’s directive.
Ezebunwo made this known in a statement on Monday.
He said, “Earlier this morning, I officially handed over administration of the Port Harcourt city local government to the head of local government administration, HLGA, Comrade Clifford Paul in line with the directive of Governor Siminialayi Fubara during his Sunday state broadcast based on the supreme Court judgment on local government administration.
“As a people, we believe that government is a continuum and governance at the third tier of government continues with the HLGA and other principal officers piloting the affairs of the local government.
“Though our stay was short, I believe it was marked by beautiful moments and a changed narrative, a departure from what local government administration used to be before our emergence, touching lives and bringing in a fresh air to local government administration.
“The reality is that we would not have been able to accomplish so much in such a short time without the positive work environment fostered by his excellency, Amaopusenibo Sir Siminialayi Fubara. He ensured that my colleagues and I fulfilled our campaign promises to our constituents. Our gratitude is immeasurable and we are thankful for the chance to serve.
“To the people of Port Harcourt city, your guidance and support made governing a smoother process. We will always remember your contributions to our successes.
“And to my loyal supporters, I appreciate and value the love and trust you have shown me. As we look towards a brighter future, let’s continue to build a stronger relationship.
