Barrister Peter Aja recognizes Indigents; Speaks on Aninri Local Govt’s Leadership
Senior Special Assistant to Enugu state Governor on Transport, Barrister Peter Aja has celebrated New Year with the indigent people in his community, Mpu in Aninri Local Government Area, Enugu state, Nigeria.
Barrister Aja who advised beneficiaries of the gesture to remain prayerful, and supportive to the good leadership of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, hinted that a lot of positive policies should be borrowed from Enugu state government and domesticated in Aninri Local Government Area.
In his interview with newsmen, Barrister Aja said “with the expiration of the tenure of the incumbent Chairman of Aninri LG, and the hope of a new Administration, we expect that the Local Government will be returned to the people, an Administration that will work for the generality of the people of Aninri. A Chairman that recognises the position as a social contract, and places our priorities right”.
“The Chairman must recognise that the primary duty of any government is protection of life and property, and always take responsibility for every vandalism or security breaches within the area especially when the State govt has provided additional security formations like forest guards, neighborhood watch, community Police”.
Aja further revealed key expectations and 10-demands of the people of Aninri Local Government Area from the Incoming Local Government Chairman in the council.
He added “My people cannot afford another disappointing leadership, it will be devastating”.
He expressed hope that “God will not allow it, He will use His Excellency, Rt.Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, the God fearing governor of Enugu State to ensure that the dreams of the majority of Aninri people are guaranteed”.
However, one of the women who benefited from the Yuletide gifts from the SSA Transport, Mrs. Adene Chukwu while appreciating Barrister Peter Aja appealed to government at all levels to make life easier for those living in the rural areas.
“For remembering us in this critical time, God will also remember you, bless and Protect you and your family as well as everyone around you”.
