A statement by the Special Assistant (Media) to Governor, Mr. Festus Adedayo, said the position of the government came against the backdrop of a recent press conference addressed by the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, which declared its readiness to provide a "vibrant, robust and credible opposition" to the Nnamani administration in the state. According to him, "Governor Chimaroke Nnamani has expressed pleasure at this avant-garde stand by APGA and its acknowledgment, at the said conference, that his government’s developmental drives have been remarkable and unprecedented in the annals of the state," and thanked the party and the opposition as a whole for their statesmanlike acceptable of his contributions to the state. "Even though the presidential system of government does not have a place for such a role as the APGA craves, he is ready to bend over backwards in providing adequate information and convivial environment that would ensure their desired back-up role in the development of Enugu State," Adedayo said, adding that in the governor’s view, "the robustness of a democratic system is measured from the quality of its dissenting voices." The governor, he said, believes that if indeed the opposition acknowledged that God has used him to bring unprecedented developments to Enugu State as they have done, and indeed the welfare of the people is the crux of their search for power, nothing stops them from extending their hands of fellowship to him in the task of uplifting the lot of the common people. Nnamani also used the opportunity to restate his often-quoted credo that the power which the people of Enugu State gave to him "is the power to do good and the innumerable developmental drives which have distinguished his government from any other in the country which even APGA identified, are the outcomes of a social contract between him and the people."   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
