Hon. Dakuku Peterside has described Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi who recently bagged an award by Business Day for States’
Competitiveness and Good Governance as a man of uncommon courage and
character.
Peterside who attended the colourful award ceremony which held in Lagos commended
Business Day for selecting Amaechi and for showing rare bravery in their choice
especially in this season when any act of courage is easily misunderstood.
According to Peterside,
“we are not surprised that he was selected for this award. For a man who has
dedicated his entire life to the service of his people, this award is not only
fitting but encouraging. We are therefore happy that his achievements resonate
beyond our state”.
Continuing, Peterside
added: “Governor Amaechi will continue to disappoint his detractors because of
the strength of his character, courage and focus. And for his teeming admirers,
we are optimistic and confident that he will end well because he is already
leaving lasting legacies in Rivers State. Award by Business Day for States’
Competitiveness and Good Governance is part of that celebration that is already
echoing beyond Rivers State.
It will be recalled that Business Day gave out the award in 13
categories and Rivers State won in a number of categories. Governor Chibuike
Amaechi of Rivers State carted away the Best Governor in Education Development
award.
The lawmaker therefore prayed God to grant Nigeria more individuals in
the mould of Amaechi. “Nigeria needs more Rotimi Amaechis to speak truth and
courage whenever the need arises. That is the only way to build our nation and
escape God’s judgement”.
