“You can see the unprecedented crowd that attended the rally, this goes further to confirm the fact that Bonny people have reaffirmed their support for the PDP.
“We can’t thank Governor Wike enough for being voice for the women, voice to the voiceless.The recognition he gave women in the State has made me and other women to occupy different political positions in the state .
“Consequently, the women in Rivers State are also ready to pay him back by voting massively for all PDP candidates, as they will follow the footsteps of Governor Wike in terms of development,” she said.
Also speaking, Bonny PDP House of Assembly candidate Victor Jumbo, emphasised that the LGA will record 90 percent vote for the PDP.
“We have consulted all stakeholders, ethnic groups, religious groups, Chieftaincy Houses and they assured us of support and vote for the PDP.
“They told us in clear terms the party has given them sense of belonging and rekindled their hopes,” Hon. Jumbo said.
