Traders Told To Vote For God-Fearing Leader
The governorship
candidate of the APC in Rivers State Dr Dakuku Peterside, last Friday urged traders at the Mile Three Market, Port Harcourt, to vote for God-fearing leaders.
Peterside made the call during his voters’ sensitisation visit to the traders, saying this was the only way to strengthen democracy.
He said it was wrong for voters to sell their voting right by collecting money to betray their conscience in the upcoming elections.
“We have to take a collective decision to vote for leaders that will not be our masters instead of serving us.
“Our collective decision to vote people into positions of trust must be based on the antecedents of the candidates no matter the party.”
Peterside said his performance as commissioner for works in the state and member of the House of Representatives had high rating in the court of public opinion.
He assured the traders that they would never regret voting for him as governor of Rivers.
“You can trust me, I am God-fearing, I have proved that I am a servant and with me, the future of your children will be secured.”
Peterside said he would assist the traders with soft loans and ensure that they benefitted from free health care policy of the state if elected.
The leader of the traders, Mr Alloy Egeonu, assured the APC candidate total support of the traders.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
