2019: No Alternative To Wike -Group

A political pressure group, Total Grassroot Movement (TGM) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has declared that there is no viable alternative for Governor Nyesom Wike in the governorship race in the 2019 general elections in Rivers State.
The group, in a communiqué issued at its extra-ordinary meeting held in Port Harcourt last Thursday, said judging from the governor’s visible and numerous achievements in physical and human capital development, no candidate in any political party can rival or surpass Wike’s achievements.
The TGM’s state co-ordinator, Dr Jerry Mene said that in view of the Wike’s delivery of democracy dividends to Rivers people, the governor remains the best choice for the state, come 2019 governorship election.
According to him, the governor has delivered on his electioneering promises in all the 23 local government areas of the state and therefore the state wants him to consolidate on the giant strides.
Dr Mene condemned in strongest terms the planned arrest of some state government officials by the EFCC on trump up allegations, noting that no amount of blackmail would deter Rivers people from voting for Wike and other PDP flag bearers.
TGM, he further explained, has fully mobilised the electorate on polling units management, adding that no amount of intimidation or threat by APC or security operatives would stop voters from voting for their desired candidates.
The group, therefore, “urged Governor Wike not to be deterred by the antics of the APC as Rivers people have resolved to vote massively for him and other PDP candidates no matter the current propaganda against him.
