Legislators Seek Votes From Constituents

The 2019 electioneering campaigns seem to have taken its toll on the Rivers State House of Assembly as legislators beef up activities to sell themselves to their various constituents in the state.
Indeed, this has stalled deliberations in the House for the past three weeks as presidential and guber elections draw close in the next couple of weeks.
Against this backdrop, member representing Ahoada East II and House Committee Chairman Public Finance, Edison Ehie, has in the past few weeks been canvassing for votes towards the re-election of the governor, Chief Nyesom Wike.
Hon. Ehie, who currently heads the state peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council for youth mobilization has at different for a implored youths in the state to vote for Chief Wike’s re-election.
The lawmaker assured that the governor was youth friendly as he had reserved 40 per cent appointment slot for young persons in the state.
Recall that Ehie and his counterpart from Akuku-Tone, Major Jack, has been championing for Chief Wike’s relection through the “I million youths for Wike” campaign.
The group in the past one year had carried out door to door campaign across the 23 Local Government Area of the state, and has amassed great followership especially among young persons within the state.
Last weekend, at a rally held in Port Harcourt City, some legislators from the area, Nemi Adoki and former lawmaker, but now chairman of Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, Hon. Victor Ihunwo, called on the people to vote for the governor and all candidates of the PDP.
Hon. Adoki praised Wike for transforming the face of Port Harcourt, especially the old Township area with different infrastructural development.
The lawmaker maintained that Wike remained a darling to the people who wanted him to come back and continue his people –oriented projects in the constituency.
Recall that on Friday, the governor visited Akuku-Toru Local Government Area, where the lawmaker, Major Jack canvassed for votes for his re-election.
Jack, who is the Deputy Chief Whip in the House has been one of frontliners of “one million Rivers youths for Wike” campaign.
He and Hon. Ehie have toured the state extensively, canvassing for votes for the governor’s reelection in 2019 elections.
