POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND POOR EDUCATION; A RACE THE VOLUNTEERS MUST END IN 2019.

By Sir Rowland Orlu

Education is the key factor of disentanglement from primitive styled governance, it serves as the path way to human intellectual advancements and societal development. A people without quality education are covenanted to poverty and political violence.

In the past four years, Rivers people missed the take when it came to electing holders of public offices, that 2014 mistake became very obvious when desperation for power, led to pleasure in political violence without a change of order, though preparations were not made for the mistakes we made. We inadvertently ushered in a spectrum of violence than transformation.

Rivers people can not be abandoned in political illiteracy and the government expect them to effect a desirable approach to legitimate source of survival, other than the survival of the fittest. The guarantee that the State government will keep voters safe through educational platforms, is in two words, political illiteracy.

The petrifying reality is, Rivers State is housing the poorest of the poor of the 7.6 billion treading the Earth. Our crisis is compounded with 13.5 million children out of school and finding themselves into anti societal vices.
A Looming preelection unsafe society should be our collective headache.
Global index on proliferation of arms shows that 70% of global small arms numbered at 500 million have found it’s way into Nigeria, with 300 million arms in a nation of 150million. Imagine the percentage that has infiltrated into Ricers State. We must prepare our PCVs as total evolution of system of governance shall take the centre stage in 2019 through Arc Pastor Tonye Cole and other APC candidates who are referred to as “The VOLUNTEERS”.

Rivers youths to whom the future Rivers State belong and to whom political violence is hinged on, must avail themselves of Tonye Cole’s enlightenment mechanism to end aggravated obscurity and impaired administrative knowledge of the present administration.

The nature of our present day polity is an action of political illiteracy, our society is awash with politically motivated violence, with children turned orphans and parents turned childless.

The Rivers State premeditated political violence is in a race without end, a race so defined to provoke our creativity and responsiveness, a race neglected since the inception of present administration. The only race by governor Wike that has not been seen, felt nor won is the transformation race.

Our lagging behind capital and human development is not a function of lack of energy, that we have in abundance, even our meals are a testimony to this.
The behind position of Rivers State is not due to the absence of natural resources. It is simply because Rivers State has being turned into a near FEAR SOCIETY overnight.

Time to rise is now!!. Arc Pastor Tonye Cole in tandem with all APC candidates in the State have VOLUNTEERED to change the Social Capital Investment of the State, curb political violence, provide quality enlightenment mechanisms to educate and inform.
The social capital of love, that nature has bestowed on us has become the bedrock of Tonye Cole’s VOLUNTEER mantra to drive the change expected. The bonds of love between Youths and their parents must come handy. The force of social influence generated through peer pressure will for once be positively channelled to bring the State to the understanding of where we have being in the global race, and the administrative acumen that must be unleashed by Tonye Cole to catch up with the rest of the world will be unprecedented.

2019 elections for us at TONYE COLE VOLUNTEER GROUP is perceived as hitting the peak mark for the race we must win and MAKE PROGRESS.
