CDCs Endorse Wike

In continuation of his campaign for a non-violent, free and fair election, the Rivers State Governor. Chief Nyesom Wike, has charged Community Development Committees (CDCs) to ensure that election rigging is not allowed in their various communities.
The Governor gave the charge, Friday, at a meeting he had with CDC members in the 23 local government areas in the state.
” You have to stay on ground to ensure that nobody hijacks electoral materials in any part of the state”.
Coordinator of the United Community Development Committees, Mr John Chinedu Onwubuali announced the endorsement of the governor for a second term in office.
Onwubuali said that the group is happy with the extensive project delivery of Governor Wike, hence the decision to support his reelection.
Meanwhile, the PDP rally in the state has covered 16 out of the 23 local government areas in the state with only 7 local government areas remaining.
The campaign train covered six local government areas last week. The train will berth at Oyigbo today.
Last week alone, Governor Wike led the train to six local government areas. The LGAs include Bonny, Gokana, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, Okrika, Akuku-Toru, and Port Harcourt.
The governor has attributed the present poor state of things in the educational sector in the country to President Muhammadu Buhari’s hatred of the sector.
Wike stated this during the campaign rally held in Abonnema headquarters of Akuku-Toru local government area on Friday.
He said: “Buhari government hates education. That’s why universities and polytechnics are closed and there is no serious engagement with the unions”.
He urged Nigerians to vote Atiku Abubakar who understands the relevance of education to national development.
He promised to complete the Abonnema Ring Road and other key project, stressing that his administration will execute more projects if voted in for another tenure.
At the PDP rally on Thursday, Wike promised to construct a bridge to link Okrika to Port Harcourt, the state capital. He equally promised to award electricity project to boost power supply in the area.
Governor Wike also inaugurated a 100,000 litre water project executed by his administration in the area.
The governor declared that the reliance on state violence by APC to win election in Rivers State will fail.
He said this at the PDP rally held in Port Harcourt Local Government Area on Saturday at Community Secondary School, Nkpolu Oroworukwu.
He said that his administration will create more urban centres in the state.
The former Deputy Speaker House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Austin Opara, commended the governor for his outstanding delivery of projects and assured that the people of Port Harcourt City will vote enmasse for him and other PDP candidates at the forthcoming elections to enable him continue with the good job he is doing.
“We need to let you know that Rivers State and Port Harcourt in particular remain for PDP. We shall vote PDP top to bottom”, said Opara.
Addressing thousands of people at ONLGA rally on Wednesday, Wike urged them to use their PVC to sack Buhari-led Federal Government for foistering economic hardship on Nigerians.
He stressed that Buhari does not deserve a second term because he lacks the capacity to lead as shown in his first term.
On Saturday, Wike inspected the ongoing Judge’s Quarters and the Fruit Garden Market both in Port Harcourt city.
