Woke, Emeh, Others Give Kudos To RSIEC

The Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Chief Emeka Woke and one-time Rivers State Commissioner for Transport, Chief Emeh Glory Emeh, were among the deluge of influential political leaders who expressed deep satisfaction with last Saturday’s local government polls in the state.
The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) had, prior to the elections, distributed sensitive and non-sensitive materials for the elections on Friday to allow for early commencement of the exercise, Saturday.
Woke, after casting his vote at his Isiodu Ward 3, Unit 14, in Emohua Local Government Area (EMOLGA), expressed confidence in the process and commended RSIEC for conducting free, fair and credible election in the area.
He expressed the hope that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ) candidates across the state would sweep the polls, based on the party’s performance in the state.
Said Woke: “ It has to do with the performance of Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike who has kept his promises and ensured that every community in the state enjoys democracy dividends”.
He hinted that the Wike-Led administration has initiated and completed many projects in the area, including roads, adding that Wike’s achievements have already placed the party’s candidates in a better stead to win the elections without much ado.
Similarly, Emeh hailed the peaceful and orderly conduct of the exercise and showered communions on the RSIEC for the credibility of the polls.
Expressing confidence on PDP candidates victory at the poll, Emeh, erstwhile Chief of Staff to former Governor Celestine Omehia, said all PDP candidates are saleable as, according to him, good products sell themselves.
He described the PDP candidate for EMOLGA, Hon Chidi Lloyd as a politician that has already sold himself by his antecedents.
Emeh reeled out Lloyd’s achievements as a lawmaker who represented EMOLGA, saying that the massive turnout of voters in the area testifies to his popularity and acceptance by the electorate.
In a similar vein, the lawmaker representing EMOLGA Constituency in the state House of Assembly, Hon Sam Oge, and a former special Adviser in the state, Surveyor Sam Agwor expressed happiness with the generally peaceful and orderly conduct of the process.
Praising RSIEC for arrangements put in place and early arrival of materials, Oge and Agwor, after casting their votes at the Rumuoro Ward 1 Unit 008, predicted victory for the PDP which they said campaigned vigorously.
