We the Kalabari Bridge Builders and Development Initiative, Popularly known as Kalabari Solidarity Movement (KSM) happily wish to celebrate and express our profound gratitude for the radical and unprecedented transformation which your administration has boldly established in the social, economic and political environments of Rivers State especially in the Kalabari Kingdom.

Sir, it indeed takes a great feat and political will to redeem all your campaign promises even in the face of daunting economic challenges and lamentable security situation in the country. Your Excellency Sir, the Kalabari Bridge Builders and Development initiative (KBBDI) is a conglomerate of the three Kalabari LGA’s. It is a socio-cultural organization with representatives of all the Kalabari towns and villages.

A body determined to ensure the unity and progress of the Kalabari Nation by intervening and troubleshooting in both intra-communal crisis and inter-communal conflicts such as Chieftaincy tussles and Boundary disputes etc. that are capable of disrupting the harmonious and peaceful co-existence of the Kalabari Ethnic Nationality.

As a patriotic body, we have therefore deemed it necessary to join the stream of commendatory remarks from eminent personalities and other socio-cultural groups in the country to heartily appreciate and celebrate your exemplary and bold achievements within the period of six years in office.

Sir, we are particularly very grateful for the approval and immediate execution of the TRANS-KALABARI ROAD and the ABONNEMA/OBONOMA SAND-FILLING Project’s as well as other viable projects in the Kalabari Nation that will go a long way to boost the Social and Economic life of our people. Your Excellency Sir, your superlative and astonishing performance without Ethnic Sentiments has adjudged you as a Detribalised leader.

One that is repugnant to the corrupting influence of ethnocentrism. Sir, without equivocation your noble performance has indeed eclipsed your predecessors in office. You are a true Democrat and a champion of Development and Good Governance. In the light of this development, the good people of Kalabari and the entire members of Kalabari Bridge Builders and Development initiative will forever remain grateful for your inestimable love and passion for Kalabari Nation.

Your Excellency Sir, once again we say Thank you for your detribalised leadership and equitable distribution of the State resources in terms of infrastructural developments among the 23 Local Government Areas of Rivers State. For this reason, we are therefore imploring all Kalabari Sons and Daughters to give unwavering support to the Wike-Led Government. IMIETE IMIETE IMIETE Signed.. Hon. Soberekon Clarke (Former Care-taker Chairman of Akuku-Toru LGA and National Leader of the Kalabari Bridge Builders and Development Initiative).
