Traditional rulers and chiefs of Andoni, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, poured encomiums on Major Lancelot Anyanya (rtd) as they endorsed him to contest the 2015 governorship election in Rivers State.

One of the traditional rulers in Andoni, HM J. Okuruket-Nnabiget XIV, said that the entire Obolo chiefs were overwhelmed by Anyanya’s  aspiration for the number one position in the state.

“We are here to identify with Anyanya’s aspirations and will support any politician who wants to aspire to the exalted seat. This is the first time an Andoni man is aspiring and for that reason, we are greatly impressed,” the royal father said.

Responding, Major Anyanya, praised the royal fathers and pledged his commitment to the overall development of Obolo and Rivers State at large.
He said that the purpose of the gathering was primarily “to make public what we have done in private and to tell you that I am about to embark on a great journey.”
The gubernatorial aspirant noted that he will draw on the strength of the royal fathers and the diverse culture in the area to uplift Rivers State.
