Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has stated that Nigerians are<\/p>\n
yearning for the return\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,<\/p>\n
following the failure\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 APC to deliver democracy dividends.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Governor\u00a0 Wike\u00a0 further declared\u00a0 that APC\u00a0 will lose the rerun\u00a0 elections<\/p>\n
of July 30, 2016 in Rivers State,\u00a0 even if Chief John Odighie -Oyegun<\/p>\n
conducts the elections\u00a0 as returning officer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking\u00a0 during a\u00a0 solidarity\u00a0 visit\u00a0 by the Grassroots Development<\/p>\n
Initiative\u00a0 (GDI) Worldwide,\u00a0 Governor Wike said: “It is obvious that<\/p>\n
Nigerians are yearning for the return of the PDP.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“No amount of\u00a0 intimidation will change\u00a0 the\u00a0 support\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 people<\/p>\n
for the PDP.\u00a0 Nigerians\u00a0 are wiser now”.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The governor\u00a0 said his superlative\u00a0 performance\u00a0 in the course of his<\/p>\n
first year has expanded\u00a0 his support base across Rivers State,\u00a0 making the<\/p>\n
PDP\u00a0 the preferred\u00a0 choice of the people.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He pointed out\u00a0 that irrespective\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 resident electoral<\/p>\n
commissioner who conducts the\u00a0 rerun\u00a0 elections\u00a0 in the state, the APC<\/p>\n
candidates\u00a0 will\u00a0 continue\u00a0 to\u00a0 lose because\u00a0 the people understand\u00a0 that<\/p>\n
the APC\u00a0 cannot deliver\u00a0 development\u00a0 projects.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The governor\u00a0 noted that the APC\u00a0 Senatorial Candidate for Rivers South<\/p>\n
East promised Ogoni\u00a0 people projects during his sojourn in political<\/p>\n
office, but delivered\u00a0 none.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said: “We promised the Ogoni people during the campaigns and today we<\/p>\n
are dualizing the Sakpwenwa-Bori road and rehabilitating the Birabi<\/p>\n
Memorial Grammar School, Bori.\u00a0 Therefore,\u00a0 the Ogoni people know the<\/p>\n
political\u00a0 party that is committed\u00a0 to\u00a0 their welfare “.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He commended\u00a0 the\u00a0 GDI\u00a0 for working\u00a0 with\u00a0 the\u00a0 PDP to ensure the victory<\/p>\n
of the choice of\u00a0 the people during the 2015 elections.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier,\u00a0 the President General of\u00a0 GDI, Mr Bright Amaewhule praised<\/p>\n
Governor Wike\u00a0 for using his mandate to improve\u00a0 the\u00a0 living condition\u00a0 of<\/p>\n
the people.<\/p>\n
