RIVERS WOMEN ALLIANCE(OFFICIAL)

RiversWomenAlliance is committed to awakening the conscience of every Rivers person, for equity & justice over the marginalization of the Riverine for Governor.

[RIVERS WOMEN ALLIANCE(OFFICIAL) @RIWA2019]

The people of Rivers State have decided that in 2019, the GOVERNOR will come from the Riverine. Our time is now, for equity and justice, POWER MUST ROTATE. #RIWA4RiverineGov2019

[RIVERS WOMEN ALLIANCE(OFFICIAL) @RIWA2019]

The call for a Riverine governor is yielding fruits as many from the Riverine are beginning to indicate interest. Power must rotate to the Riverine in 2019.

Equity and Justice is not choice to act upon because it suits you.
It is a decision you take only because it is the right direction.

As people guided by ethics, equity and fairness, we clamour for rotation of power to the Riverine. Yes, a Riverine Governor is ideal for even development across the dichotomic parts of the state.#MorningRush #TuesdayThoughts @RIWA2019 @vanguardngrnews @sphere_watch
