The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Rivers State chapter has further charged the State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to stop lamenting and procrastinating and take concrete actions to remedy the bad state of the State Health sector.
The ACN made this charge through a statement issued and signed by its publicity secretary, Jerry Needam while reacting to Gov. Amaechi’s confirmation during a Town Hall meeting in Port Harcourt that his free medical care has suffered a downward trend since inception due to poor-funding.
The ACN spokesman, Jerry Needam said the efficacy of government policies lie not in pronouncement and echoing on radio but in well articulated implementation of the policies for the overall benefit of the people.
The ACN further advised Gov Amaechi to listen less to those it described as professional praise-singers whose only interest is what they get from those in power but care less about the welfare of the people.
The ACN publicity secretary, Jerry Needam however, expressed satisfaction that Gov. Amaechi for once has admitted publicly that he has not fare well in his free medical care, stressing that the ACN will continue to ensure that the people of Rivers State get the quality governance it deserves by monitoring and ensuring that those entrusted with their resources do the right thing no matter the cost.
“This assignment is self imposed and was done out of love for our people. Nothing will stop us from doing it until our people are delivered from deceit and exploitation,” Jerry Needam concluded.
