Congratulations to all Kolocians appointed to the Assured Prosperity Administration today! As I’ve often said, any gains or benefits for Kolocians should be celebrated by all who genuinely care for our community. On this note, I wholeheartedly celebrate and congratulate our esteemed sons and daughters on their well deserved appointments. I sincerely hope that the administration empowers those appointed, far beyond the usual 100K to 200K “Madam Must Go Market” positions.

While I extend my gratitude to Governor Diri for these appointments, I urge him to recognize that Kolo and, indeed, Ogbia Ward 9 deserve even more. We have many highly qualified individuals who could serve as Commissioners, Special and Technical Advisers, Board Chairpersons, members of Commissions, and Chief Executive Officers of significant agencies. In fact, I believe Governor Diri should appoint a Kolocian of his choosing as his Principal Secretary, a position that has remained vacant since his second term. This is one way to prove his love for the people of Kolo and Ogbia Ward 9

Once again, I congratulate the appointees. Head or tail, Kolo is the beneficiary
