Okah Assures Of APC’s Defeat In Rivers

The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it will defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in any election in Rivers State, despite last Monday’s Appeal Court order which granted the latter a stay of execution.
 The Director of Information and Communications of the State PDP Campaign Council, Barr Emma Okah stated this in a press statement issued in Port Harcourt recently.
 Okah was reacting to a Court of Appeal ruling in Port Harcourt which granted the APC a stay of execution order of the judgement of the Federal High Court obtained by the PDP against its main opposition in the State.
 The statement reads, “The Rivers State PDP Campaign Council is aware of the order of the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt granting stay of execution of the judgement of the Federal High Court obtained by the PDP against the APC in the State.
 ”We are not perturbed or worried in any way because it will not affect the fortunes of the PDP in the elections,” Okah stated.
 Okah, who is also the state Commissioner for Information and Communications, stated that the guaranteed victory of the PDP in the forth-coming elections is built on the strength of the party, rather than the weakness or unavailability of any political party or candidate.
 He further said, that explains why the PDP was campaigning as if all the parties are in the ballot from the beginning, saying, “We are glad that we did not take anything for granted.” 
 Okah’s statement further reads: “The accumulated strength and capacity of the PDP in Rivers State is overwhelming and will defeat any political party or coalition that fields any candidate against the PDP in the 2019 polls.”
 He described the APC in Rivers State as ‘perforated jumbo jet’ that cannot lift from the run way.
 The director of Information and Communications of the state PDP Campaign council stated that the projects executed by the Governor Nyesom Wike-led administration across the 23 local government areas of the State were too loud to be ignored which was why the people have been showing appreciation to the PDP since the campaigns began
 ”Since the campaigns began, the people of Rivers State have been showing much appreciation to the PDP for the life-changing projects the governor planted in all nooks and cranies of the state.
 ”So the projects will speak for the PDP at the polls and we challenge the APC to show their projects to the people,” he said, even as he assured Rivers people that the party train will continue to operate at top speed until the journey was completed.
