You Are Not God, PDP Guber Aspirant Tells Dame Jonathan …As Anyanya Declares For Rivers Governorship

A Rivers State governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Tamunosisi  Gogo-Jaja, yesterday picked his nomination form.
Speaking, Gogo-Jaja said he was not shaken by the purported endorsement of the former Minister of State for Education, Nyeson Wike, by the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, saying power belongs to God.
He said: “She is an indigene of Rivers State and has every right to express her support to anyone.
“But the most important endorsement is from God, and as a Christian, I believe that power belongs to God and when God says yes, no one can say no.
“Whoever she might have endorsed needs the grace of God and that is what I have.
“I’m from the riverine area of the state, which has never produced a governor of the state and I’m a PhD holder and have been in the House of Assembly for 12 years.
Meanwhile, another governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Major Lancelot Anyanya (Rtd) at the weekend declared that greatness is coming to the state through a process of rebirth that will affect the whole dimensions of human development.
He spoke in Port Harcourt on Saturday during a rally at his Campaign Office organized to welcome him back from Abuja where he had gone to pick up the nomination form for the PDP Governorship Primaries.
Addressing the crowd of jubilant supporters, Anyanya, who expressed his passion for education by telling his personal story of how he left the village to attend the Army Children’s School, GRA, Port Harcourt, for his First School Leaving Certificate, lamented the abysmal level to which education in the state had fallen and promised to change the situation.
“That’s why every child in Rivers State deserves to go to school. Not just to go to school but to get an education that would make meaning in life”, he said.
He also promised to tackle the myriad of security challenges in the state, noting that it was part of his planned focus on all the dimensions of Human Security to include homeland security, education security, food security, health security, economic security, infrastructure security, socio-political security and environmental security as key components. According to him, “we know that the pre-eminent challenge today in our state is security. Everyday we hear of all kinds of crimes and our people are dying needlessly. So we will address security so that you will live in this state and when you think of how it used to be and what it will be very soon, you will say, “was it ever possible”? but it will be because of God.”
