We share in your passion to evolve a Rivers State that will reflect the stupendous wealth it's endowed with through provision of quality healthcare, education, social and infrastructural developments.

We make no bones about our position that you are the best person to lift our dear State out of the firm grips of poverty and underdevelopment. We reaffirm our total confidence in your ability to salvage our State from the precipice and call on all well-meaning Rivers sons and daughters to unite with you as we begin the walk to our freedom.
