Ahead of the governorship
election in Rivers State, the candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for Port Harcourt Federal Constituency I, in the just concluded National Assembly polls, Hon. Brave Wobo, has urged his supporters to vote for the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Dr Dakuku Peterside.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after addressing his teeming supporters on his political stance, Hon. Wobo disclosed that only an APC leadership in Rivers State would attract federal presence in the state.
He pointed out that Rivers State could not afford to play the politics of opposition in the new political dispensation, noting that such tendency had denied the state proper development stride in the past.
He described Rivers State as a costly political bride in Nigeria that deserves its proper place in National politics and called on the people of Rivers State to take advantage of the new political reality and vote for Dakuku Peterside to “put the state on the right track of economic development and prosperity.”
Commenting on the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly polls in the state, Hon Wobo expressed dissatisfaction over the electoral process, stating that the election was fraught with irregularities, as eligible voters were denied their franchise.
He accused the Rivers State electoral commissioner, Gesila Khan, and the security operatives of working for the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State and also called for the immediate transfer of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, from Rivers State.
Hon Wobo also called on the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) to fulfil his electoral promises, especially in the area of job creation, poverty eradication and fighting of corruption.
