2023 Guber Contest Is Open To All Qualified Rivers Persons – Akawor

Rivers State Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Desmond Akawor,  says governorship contest is open to qualified Rivers sons and daughters.
He made the clarification when he played host to some political groups from Ogoni in his office in Port Harcourt recently.
Akawor said”, the window is open to all sons and daughters of Rivers State to contest the governorship position.”
He told the group tagged “Ogoni for 2023” that though the Ogonis are qualified to contest, the party will not restrict the election to one section of the state.
He said that the party had not zoned its gubernatorial seat to any part of the state.
The state PDP chairman advised the Ogonis not to field multiple candidates in order to succeed in their goal, since it is easier to win in unison.
He noted that no Senatorial District had been anointed to produce the next governor, saying it is too early as the party has a timeline for such campaigns.
He advised members of the party to continue to work in harmony for the development of the state.
