As political activities
gather momentum across the Country, Governor Seriake Dickson on Friday admonished politicians to be cautious in pursuing their ambitions, since political instability is capable of stagnating economic growth.
He gave the advice at the swearing-in ceremony of the new Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters, Chief Fyneman Wilson at Government House, Yenagoa.
According to Governor Dickson, “one cannot fathom the cost of political instability, as some sacred institutions have now been violated and desecrated.
“Some institutions have closed down; some cannot function, brothers can’t talk to brothers, friends have turned against friends. This is one thing we have avoided in the restoration government.So in thisgovernment, not only are we building roads, bridges,hospitals and schools; not only have we ensured safety and security of our people, but we have also unfolded a comprehensive programme of reconciliation and consensus building such that, all our people nomatter the differences, are together and we want to keep it so.”
Charging the new Special Adviser to facilitate the process of consensus building towards promoting peace and stability in the state, Governor Dickson said, in view of Chief Wilson’s antecedents as a one time assembly member in the old Rivers State, commissioner and Director General in the Green Movement, he should bring his wealth of experience to bear on his new assignment to achieve success for the party and the state.
