CHIEF. BARR. DUMO LULU BRIGGS PREACHES POLITICS WITHOUT BITTERNESS

In Rivers state right now, the stakes over who becomes Governor is pretty high, apologies to Baba, it’s a fight to finish; missiles are flying across the political space as aspirants seek more relevance and plot to gain more ground. But one aspirant is towing a different path. Chief. Barr. Dumo Lulu Briggs says for him, it has always been politics without bitterness.

He told reporters,

’I am all for developmental politics and not personal abusive politics. I am too polished for that. We all, despite our ambitions are brothers, we have always lived as brothers and attended each others’ social events, we must not therefore allow politics to divide us. Rivers State is very small and we will always meet after now’’.

Barr Dumo Lulu Briggs in an interactive session with society reporters where he unveiled his Binding Engagement with Rivers people, his manifesto for governance said,

”My administration shall not only be judged by the provision of fundamentals

like Roads, Housing, Portable drinking water, and electricity but by quantity and

quality of our students, the quantity and quality of jobs created, the quantity of

Rivers people who own quality businesses, the quantity of Rivers people who own quality homes, the quantity of rural areas opened up for sustainable development, the quantity and quality of our health care delivery, the quantity of functional industrialized cities, the security of lives and property and drastic reduction in crime and of course, the provision of world class infrastructure.

Indeed”.

Dumo says he will want to be judged by the number of Rivers people who have moved from poverty to prosperity and into greater prosperity.

Dumo is the son of the highly respected kalabari High Chief, businessman and politician, Chief O.B. Lulu Briggs who was National Vice Chairman South South of the defunct National Party of Nigeria , NPN.
