Reasons Why Dr Barry Barinada Mpigi Will Remain Endeared to Rivers People. By Golden Elijah




SECURITY
Towards the end of the tenure of Sir Hon Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi as the governor of Rivers State there was a man sent to destabilise him but Dr Barry was there to act as a bridge.
Mr Mbu Joseph Mbu acted in the best possible way to unseat our golden governor and speaker of all speakers but with the intervention of Dr Barinada his moves were foiled.
Back in the days of Sir Dr Peter Odili as governor of our state Dr Mpigi was the pioneer commissioner of Youths Affairs and his policies gave birth to the amnesty their boys are enjoying today.
The last dinner we had with him, he told us how he drafted a proposal to his then Boss explaining how they could get guns off the streets of Rivers State and it worked. The youths were asked to return weapons for money and in not distance time the federal government bought into his ideas and turned it to the amnesty program.
He was again called upon when PDP vowed that save rivers movement can't hold its rally in Bori. Dr Mpigi stepped in and a successful rally was held and We keep asking how did he do it. His leadership style has always kept us very safe in Tai LGA not until the NEW arrangement came on board and we are witnessing pockets of killing that were never found. If not because of his presence who knows what would have happened.
