Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has flagged off his campaign for a second term, declaring that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lost the political struggle in the state due to the greed of a political godfather.
Speaking
during the flag off of the PDP State Campaign Rally in Tai Local
Government Area on Wednesday, Governor Wike said that the APC are
presently looking for a political party to support during the 2019
General elections.
He
said that the APC has attracted no value to Rivers State, hence
Rivers people will overwhelmingly vote PDP candidates.
"I
hear that the APC in Rivers State are negotiating for a
political party to support during the 2019 General elections.
But it is already too late", he said.
He
said that he has enterred a covenant with Tai people to deliver
more projects for them during his second term, noting that they are
under obligation to protect their votes during the elections.
The
governor said that over the last three and half years, his
administration has planted key projects in the area.
He
announced that in the coming days he will flag off the
construction of General Hospital.
"This
is a project I have agreed with Tai people to execute for the
benefit of the masses", he said.
He
said despite the assurances of the New Inspector General of Police
(IGP), Rivers people should remain vigilant.
He
said: "Anybody who rigs election in Rivers State will suffer
God's wrath. If you leave your home to come and rig in Rivers State,
your family will suffer the consequences ".
Governor
Wike said all the people of Rivers State are looking for, is
free and fair elections, where the people will be allowed to choose
their leaders.
He
charged the people of Tai Local Government Area to vote
overwhelmingly for PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar during
the Presidential elections.
"Buhari
does not like Rivers State. The only person that will help
Rivers State is Atiku Abubakar. That is why we will vote
for him", the governor said.
Rivers
South East Senatorial District PDP Candidate, Mr Barry Mpigi said the
people of the area will vote Governor Wike because the Rivers State
Governor is the father of modern Rivers State.
Rivers
State PDP Chairman, Felix Obuah said Tai Local Government
Area is a fertile ground for PDP because of the key projects
executed by Governor Wike.
Commissioner
for Special Duties, Dr John Bazia noted that Governor Wike has
executed eight projects in the area. He said all Tai people are
solidly in support of the Rivers State Governor.
Hundreds
of APC chieftains led by the party's women leader, Mrs Victoria
Mgboh defected to the PDP. The Former APC Women Leader said
they were attracted to the PDP by Governor Wike's performance.
