Rivers PDP Boss Tasks Women On Peace, Unity
Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, has charged women in the state to pray fervently for a peaceful and smooth transition come 2023.
Addressing women leaders of Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI) from Degema Local Government Area on a solidarity visit to the new executive at the party secretariat in Port Harcourt, Ambassador Akawor told them not to allow 2023 governorship ambition of any individual to tear them apart.
The State PDP Chairman, who was represented by his Deputy, Hon Chukwuemeka Aaron, warned them against associating with any individual alleged to be nursing governorship ambition.
“The only support you can give this executive and the administration of Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is your prayers, we need the prayers of women to keep the state peaceful and united”, Akawor said, urging all PDP members to continue to have faith in the party and exercise patience in order to reap the fruits of their labour.
He thanked the women leaders for the visit, saying that they were the first women group to visit the PDP Executive since their inauguration and enjoined the GDI delegation to continue to support the new executive.
According to Ambassador Akawor, “ GDI has been supportive to PDP in its activities, GDI was instrumental to PDP election victories in 2015 and 2019, your support was not in vain because Governor Nyesom Wike has done very well and made the state proud.
Speaking earlier, the leader of GDI Degema chapter, Mrs Agiriba Bibi, said their visit was to identity with the new leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state and congratulated them.
