Impressive Turn-Out At PDP Meetings Excites Stalwart
The Campaign Coordinator of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, Barr. Erastus Awortu, says he was impressed with the turnout of the party supporters to the party meetings held across the units in the area.
He said with the turnout, PDP had what it takes to beat candidates of other political parties in 2019.
Awortu, who gave the assurance in an interview with The Tide after supervision of the meeting said his claim was anchored on the fact that almost 70 percent of eligible voters in each unit across Andoni Local Government were supporters of PDP.
He said almost all the traditional rulers and Chiefs of Andoni LGA also came out to attend the PDP meeting, declaring their disaffection against Buhari’s administration.
The Campaign Coordinator said the massive turnout had shown that the people of Andoni were happy with Governor Nyesom Wike and PDP in the State.
According to him, Governor Wike has made the people of Andoni to be proud, through siting of capital projects like roads, Hospitals and schools to appointments of Andoni’s sons and daughters to sensitive positions of thrust in the State’s Cabinet.
He said Andoni persons were appointed as head of service, attorney general, speaker of the state legislature, chairman of PDP at the national, deputy Chairman of the party in Rivers State as well as special advisers and directors of various ministries and parastatals.
He expressed the need for the Andoni people to reciprocate the good gesture of Wike’s administration to the people of the area.
