APC Has No Guber Candidate In Rivers – Omehia
Barely two weeks to the governorship election in Rivers State, a former Governor of the state and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sir Celestine Omehia has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no governorship candidate to contest with Governor Nyesom Wike of PDP.
Omehia also hinted that the APC is not on ground, especially in Ikwerre Local Government Area as the party do not have any political structure both at the National and state levels.
He stated this at Omagwa community during the PDP rally held at Saint Martins Church Field, last Monday.
The former governor told the PDP faithful that the track record of Governor Wike speaks volume for his re- election bid come March 2, 2019.
According Omehia, Ikwerre people are not campaigning for the governor, rather they are celebrating his massive infrastructural development in all the communities in Ikwerre land.
“We are celebrating Governor Nyesom Wike victory at the poll come March. that is why Ikwerre people have gathered here today to say thank you for what you have done to Ikwerre people”, he said.
Describing the Governor as an eagle of politics in Ikwerre land, Omehia called on Ikwerre sons and daughters to vote PDP in all the elections in the country.
He lauded the governor for the construction and completion of internal roads across Ikwerre communities.
Omehia, who listed Wike’s road projects in the area such as Isiokpo internal road, Omademe road project, Ipo, Igwuruta and Aluu-Uniport road projects and a host of others, urged Ikwerre people not to panic as PDP has all it takes to win the 2019 governorship elections in the state.
While calling on the electorates to arm themselves with their Permanent voters card ahead of the elections, Omehia appealed to Ikwerre people and all the PDP families to vote Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Governor Wike on February 16 and March 2, 2019 polls for victory and to reposition the nation’s economy for better.
