Atiku Gets Campaign Office In Rivers, S/South

In support of Alhaji Atiku’s presidential ambition, the Governorship candidate of the Action Congress (AC) in 2007 general elections in Rivers State Prince Tonye  Princewill has donated an office complex for Atiku Campaign Organisation.

Subsequently, Princewill has also erected 15 posters billboard of the former Vice President in some strategic areas of Rivers State.

The campaign office, The Tide learnt will serve as the campaign headquarters for Rivers State and the South-South in preparation for the 2011 presidential elections; while the 15 posters billboard of Atiku is to make him popular in the area among voters.

Receiving the keys of the three floor building furnished with modern facilities last weekend  on behalf of Alhaji Atiku, in Port Harcourt, Mr Chris Maman, the Director-General Atiku Campaign Organisation commended the former governorship candidate for his kind gesture and said he has shown that there is yet hope for the political future of the nation.

Maman noted that the campaign office would serve as moral booster to Atiku’s presidential ambition both in Rivers State and the South-South, adding that it would make the former vice president more popular in this part of the country.

In his speech, Princewill said his decision to embark on these projects and support Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was in the interest of fair play.

Princewill noted that he was supporting Atiku because he stood by him and the leadership of Action Congress (AC) in Rivers State when it mattered most adding that the former vice president fought for him.

He noted that he was only reciprocating the gesture, adding that, the former vice president always stands for justice and have the interest of Niger Delta at heart.

According to him, the former vice president out of nothing created wealth that has given thousands job and livelihood to the youths.

He noted that, apart from his vision for the development and emancipation of the Niger Delta, Atiku is the second highest employer of labour in the neglected Niger Delta region after the state governments in the region.

Princewill, however, said if Atiku was given a chance, he would give priority to power, more employment and address the issue of the Niger Delta.
