Ogonis Assure Block Vote For Peterside …As Rivers Scholars Endorse APC For Gov
The governorship ambition of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, is as good as over following the endorsement of his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, by KAGOTE, the Ogoni apex socio-cultural organisation.
A statement issued yesterday in Port Harcourt by the state Chairman, APC, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said that with the endorsement, the Ogoni block vote would be delivered to the APC in all elections.
According to the APC chairman, “With KAGOTE, the Ogoni apex socio-cultural organisation, endorsing Dr Dakuku Peterside, Senator Magnus Abe and other APC candidates, we are now more than ever convinced that no matter the odds, our victory in all the elections is very assured.
The Rivers APC chairman congratulated KAGOTE “for its wise decision to throw its weight behind APC and its candidates.”
It would be recalled that KAGOTE had, in a communique of the January 25 meeting signed by its President, Dr. Peter Medee, and Third President, Dr. Mike Nwielaghi, said: “Despite the non-consideration of our demand for political power in the present dispensation, Ogoni governorship dream remains alive. We, therefore, urge all political parties to consider Ogoni next for governorship of Rivers State, since the desire of Rivers people seems to favour rotation of power between upland and riverine now, for which the riverine question appears to have been answered.
“Consequently, we endorse the candidature of Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside for governor and Senator Magnus Ngei Abe for Senate, Rivers East Senatorial District,” the KAGOTE added.
