He, however, warned that PDP<br \/>\nsupporters cannot to afford not to throng the polling stations on<br \/>\nSaturday to ensure the victory of the party&#8217;s chairmanship and<br \/>\ncouncillorship candidates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During all our campaigns round the 13 wards , we didn&#8217;t see any<br \/>\npolitical party campaign. Don&#8217;t rest on our oars to say nobody is<br \/>\ncontesting with us. Don&#8217;t go and sleep. Be on your guard on Saturday and<br \/>\nensure the PDP candidates emerge victorious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Chief of Staff lauded PDP stakeholders in Emohua for the choice of a<br \/>\nseasoned politician, Dr. Chidi Lloyd, as the party&#8217;s\u00a0 chairmanship<br \/>\ncandidate.\u00a0 According to him, Lloyd, who was a member of the Rivers<br \/>\nState House of Assembly for twelve years, will bring his experience to<br \/>\nbear in the governance of the council.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; I advice the candidate to keep to his campaign promise. Follow the<br \/>\ncampaign slogan&#8217; let&#8217;s make EMOLGA great again&#8217;. As experienced<br \/>\npolitician, unite the people of Emohua. Resist any temptation that would<br \/>\ndivide the leadership of Emohua Local Government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Woke reminded voters that the PDP administration of Governor Nyesom<br \/>\nEzenwo Wike has fulfilled past election campaign promises to construct<br \/>\nroads in Emohua, Isiodu , Rumuji, Obele, Ibaa and Elele Alimini and the<br \/>\nparty deserved to be rewarded with massive votes on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Since 2015 to 2019 the ruling party (All Progressives Congress) at the<br \/>\nfederal level\u00a0 have not provided even single project in this Local<br \/>\nGovernment. Only the PDP\u00a0 has provided meaningful projects. PDP is in<br \/>\npower. PDP is in charge in Rivers State.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; Ask the opposition party in the state to tell you what they have done<br \/>\nfor Emohua to seek for your votes. I believe no one will deceive us. The<br \/>\nessence of partisan politics is impact your community and not for<br \/>\nindividual stomach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The PDP chairmanship candidate, Dr. Chidi Lloyd, said if elected, he<br \/>\nwill prioritise security, enhance the welfare of women and compliment<br \/>\nthe developmental\u00a0 strides of the Rivers State Government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; We shall vigorously pursue security. We will renew what we have on<br \/>\nground with legislative backing. So that what we have as local vigilante<br \/>\nwould be redirected and focused. The council shall provide stipends for<br \/>\nthe vigilantes.<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd thanked PDP stakeholders in Emohua for\u00a0 considering him worthy to<br \/>\nbe chairmanship candidate of the party in Saturday&#8217;s election. He<br \/>\npledged to run an all inclusive administration when he assumes office.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; I lack words to thank the good people of Emohua Local Government Area,<br \/>\nespecially, the leadership of Peoples Democratic Party of the Local<br \/>\nGovernment. I am so overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; For me, it&#8217;s an honour I don&#8217;t deserve. I am less than\u00a0 six months in<br \/>\nthe party. Here I am in the party as your candidate. It&#8217;s an honour I<br \/>\nwould never forget.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters have been advised to be vigilant\u00a0 ahead of the April 17 Local Government Election in Rivers State.
