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.
Dumo lulu Briggs is just rounding up his stint as Chairman of the board of the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri

We will all be watching.

....AHEAD 2015 GUBER ELECTIONS IN RIVERS STATE


PRESIDENT   JONATHAN IS INTERESTED IN WHAT HAPPENS IN RIVERS STATE.  HE IS OUR BROTHER.


-          CHIEF BARR DUMO LULU BRIGGS


Chief  Barr. Dumo Lulu Briggs is one of the front runner Guber aspirants in the PDP in Rivers state. He was among the 16 riverine aspirants that called on the party’s national exco to  cancel the ward congresses conducted by the party two weeks ago which was boycotted by the other aspirants due to perceived irregularities in the preparations . He spoke to political reporters following the cancellation of the ward congresses and other issues in the state
“ I must congratulate the national exco of our great party, the PDP, for having the boldness to do the right thing. It took a lot of courage but then, i have always known that our party, the PDP, will do the right thing. PDP has a great internal democracy mechanism that has always helped us to resolve issues; that is the strength of our party.
From the onset the majority of Rivers people were against the ward congresses because we felt a lot of things had not been put in place and it was therefore like putting the cart before the horse to have a ward congress when a party register was not in place. But certain persons felt they had the powers to go ahead despite our protest and today, the congresses have been cancelled. Thos e ward congresses were a sham.
And also don’t forget the President though he does not make public pronouncements on such issues is our brother. Rivers State is very dear to him and he will always want the best for the state. Therefore i know he will resist anything that will derail his support base in the state”.
