Promise Wosu, also known as Wene, on Sunday completed a 606-kilometre journey of foot on Sunday from to Port Harcourt and was received at Government House by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who said Wosu’s feat would encourage him to support youths that do the state proud.
Wosu’s feat, reputed to be a record fitting to be documented by Guinness Book of World Records, has however attracted controversial reviews on social media. Many think that the record is doubtful.
Governor Fubara advised youths to stay away from criminality, engage in meaningful ventures while propagating news of productive activities taking place in their immediate communities.
He noted that doing so will be a deliberate attempt by them to showcase the State as a desirable place that promotes peaceful coexistence of all residents.
Fubara acknowledged Wosu’s determination at completing the longest distance covered on foot as a commendable attempt at setting a record that proves that Rivers youths are resourceful.
“It gives us so much joy this afternoon to hear that one of our youths has also set a record and it is really commendable. We are celebrating you, our brother, Wosu and every other person that is here, who is doing positive things to advance the State.
“As a government, we will continue to encourage you and others who are doing positive things. By Monday, Wosu will meet with the Chief of Staff, Government House, who will bring him to my office where I will do a special thing for him.”
The governor stressed the need for everybody, particularly the youths to see Rivers State as their own, which requires of them to do things that promote peace, while consciously projecting the State positively to the rest of the world.
“It is upon us to engage in meaningful ventures. It is not always good hearing our news on the bad side. I’m appealing to you to always put those good news out. Don’t use your media platform to disparage the State. At the end of the day, it is your State too.”
