The basic activity of ERSY is to embark on different studies for the development of Rivers State and the nation at large.

We also promote good leadership ideas and principles through conference and press release as basis for sustainable development, as such Tonye Dele Cole is our candidate for 2019 general elections and over 2million Enlightened Rivers State Youths are not just waiting to vote for Tonye Dele Cole but are also willing to contribute the sum of 10million naira to support his elections.

This decision was taken at our last meeting held on Tuesday, 4th September, 2018 at No. 18 Ibba Street, D/Line, Port-Harcourt, by all the 23 LGA Executives and Ward Coordinators of Enlightened Rivers State Youths.

WHY TONYE DELE COLE?

1. TDC and Rivers State Budgeting
We are duly aware that  Rivers State budget is hugely funded on borrowing. This trend does not spell good for the generation unborn. Tonye Dele Cole (TDC) as a successful business manager navigated a business from zero balance sheet in 1998 to a multi billion empire in a few years. A debt free Rivers State for our children is possible with TDC.

2. Tonye Dele Cole is outstanding economics. We know that UAE has the most diversified economy in the Gulf Region despite her large oil reserves. Tonye Dele Cole has a proven track records of business successes in diverse sectors. He is a global figure in World Economic Forum. If we think of Rivers State beyond oil, TDC a technocrat is a dependable pilot.

3. Tonye Dele Cole understands the challenges of people living with disabilities in Rivers State.
TDC has earned a long time reputation for reaching out to the physically challenged through the education projects for persons living with disabilities and many others. We can have a state where every member has a sense of belonging. TDC has the solution and knows the way.

4. Lack of job creation as the bedrock of criminal activities in Rivers State.
It is no doubt that the increase of criminal activities in Rivers State is largely due to the failure of the current administration in keeping up with the massive job creation of the Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi led government. Active engagement of our youths will curb militancy and crime. At Sahara, TDC unveil extra-preneurship platform to reach over 12 million beneficiaries. TDC has the answer.

5. Ecological sustainability and environmental development.
Rivers State is blessed with one of the largest shorelines in the country which is highly underutilised. With competence and capacity in water resource management, TDC's can rewrite this part of our story. A greater Rivers State is possible with TDC.

6. Agricultural Development

With his deep rooted experience in agriculture, TDC can revamp the arable land in Rivers State and give agriculture its rightful place. With TDC Rivers State can great again.

7. City planning and urban development.

As we know it, urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas.

TDC was involved in the design and implementation of urban planning and city development of Palmas, the capital city of the newly created State of Tocantins and even our own Greater Port-Harcourt.

8. TDC and the Youths
My fellow youths, without sentiment we all know that youth oriented programmes have become history in Rivers State. TDC has an inbuilt passion for youth development. It is time to take back Rivers State as our collective common wealth. A youth friendly Rivers State is possible with TDC.

The Enlightened Rivers State also resolved to take this as our personal campaign across the 23 LGAs to enlighten the people on the need to support Tonye Dele Cole for governor of Rivers State in 2019.

Finally, we hereby appeal to all opinion leaders, stake holders, traditional rulers, market women, youths, students, transport workers, civil servants and media houses to support Tonye Dele Cole for the governor of Rivers State come 2019.

Thank you.

God bless the Enlightened Rivers State Youth.

God bless Rivers State

Tonye Tom-George
Coordinator
