Wokoma Emmanuel & Michael Abraham
The Amanyanabo of ancient Okochiri Kingdom, King Ateke Michael Tom, has called on his subjects and all his supporters across the State to rally round the Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sir Siminialayi Fubara in the March 11 Governorship and State Assembly elections.
Making the call while receiving members of the Okrika Local Government Area (LGA) PDP Campaign Council who were in his palace on a courtesy visit, King Tom said his call was necessitated by the good works of the State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in Okochiri Kingdom and the State at large.
King Tom, who is also the Sekuro of Niger Delta, said that for the State to continue on the fast lane of development and peace, the need to consolidate on the achievements of Governor Wike is inevitable, hence his support for Fubara.
Earlier, Chairman of Okrika LGA Campaign Council of the PDP, Hon. Akuro Tobin, had informed the Amanyanabo of Okochiri that they were in his palace to brief him on the outcome of the February 25th Presidential and National Assembly elections, and also thank him for the peace experienced before, during and after the elections.
Hon. Tobin informed him that they were also in his palace to seek his support in the forthcoming March 11 Governorship election.
Present at the visit were delegation of the Campaign Council, representatives of the Grassroot Democratic Initiative (GDI), and a foremost political pressure group in the area, Amaibi 1st.
