The Rivers State Governor, Rt Hon. Chibuike Amaechi says Saturday’s election is liberation day for Rivers people from the clutches of bad governance from the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP)-led Federal Government.
Amaechi made the declaration during a ward to ward campaign at Ward Seven at Onne last Sunday.
He urged the people of Eleme and Ward Seven to come in their numbers and vote out the Federal Government, warning that any vote for the PDP will spell doom as Onne land will be ceded to their neighbours.
In the words of the governor, “Saturday is the freedom day for Ogoni and Eleme and Ikwerre people… I have tried my best to protect our territory. Today, Ekporo is no longer there because of the Federal Government. You need a neutral Federal Government to return to your land”.
He continued, “Please, wake up and do not go to the farm but go from house-to-house and door-to-door and campaign for the APC. If you can bring out over 80,000 people to vote, then that is your freedom, and the good thing is that they can no longer write results,” he said.
The governor accused the PDP of fighting to stop the card reader because it does not give room for their manipulations and rigging.
Already, he announced that the APC guber candidate, Dr.Dakuku Peterside, was coasting home with victory considering the huge followership and support he is garnering from the citizenry.
On why they should vote the APC, Amaechi said, “we can point at what we have done but they can’t point to what they have done.”
He blamed the Federal Government for the decrepit state of the Eleme-Onne Road, which he said houses most of government agencies and even linking to the hometown of the first lady, but yet abandoned.
He, however, enjoined all APC members to shun violence saying, “we don’t enjoin people to carry guns but carry your PVCs.”
