PDP Ward Congresses: Wike Building Grassroots – Based Party – Obuah
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Felix Obuah has hailed last weekend’s Ward Congresses of the party held across the 23 Local Government Areas of the State.
Obuah said the goodwill that greeted the landmark achievement was the handiwork of Governor Nyesom Wike, saying the governor should be given a rousing applause for building a formidable, grassroot-based party that would be unbeaten.
Obuah stated this in a statement issued by his media aide, Jerry Needam and made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt, yesterday.
The statement noted that Obuah while speaking at Ward 4, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA) shortly after casting his vote in the Ward Congress of the party, said the governor through his support and dedication has made the PDP a peoples’ movement where the hopes and aspirations of Rivers people would be met in subsequent elections.
He expressed appreciation to all members of the PDP in the state for making the Ward Congresses a momentous event, noting that they have made the party proud and treading on the path where other political parties have failed woefully.
Obuah further said internal democracy has come to stay in the PDP and lauded the governor for his unwavering support and dedication to the party at the local, state and national levels, adding that these attributes have majorly contributed to the peace and tranquility being enjoyed in the party.
“Rivers people can once again see the difference between noisemakers and a group of self-seeking individuals desperate to hijack the state machinery to further their personal aggrandisement in the other political party and a trusted, purpose-driven people in the PDP, determined to serve and provide good governance to Rivers people,” the statement said.
