Oil mogul and Philanthropist Engr. Tein T.S. Jack-Rich has advised elected public office holders and other politicians to concentrate in implementing their electioneering promises to the people and play by the rules of the game.
Engr Jack-Rich gave the advice in reaction to the call on him by some groups and politicians to run for the Governorship of Rivers State in 2023.
The oil magnate in a statement signed by his associate and prominent Niger Delta Leader, His Highness Anabs Sara-Igbe, said while he thank all those calling on him to contest the Rivers State Governorship he would appreciate if the politicians would play by the rules of electoral guidelines by facing governance as their endorsement could be misconstrued as coming too early.
It said “We thank all those calling on Engr. Tein Jack-Rich to contest for the Governorship of Rivers State because of his visible performance across the Country in the areas of provision of potable water for the generality of the people, Employment & Empowerment, Road Construction & other Infrastructural Development, provision of basic healthcare and support for education particularly in the area of award of scholarship to indigent sons and daughters of Rivers State, Niger Deltans and the host of Nigerians.
The statement said the humanitarian gesture by Engr Jack-Rich has no political undertone.
It said “Engr. Tein Jackrich is carrying out these selfless services for the benefits of humanity not because of his interest in politics nor his intention to contest for the Governorship of Rivers State but rather as a philanthropist his joy is seeing people happy and thanking the Almighty God for the privilege given to him to provide the needs of the people and impact their lives positively.
The statement said the humble disposition of Engr. Jack-Rich and his high regard and respect for elders have endeared him to the people.
