All is now ready, according to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Committee in Rivers, to launch the party's open-air campaigning in the state.
This information was revealed in a statement issued in Lagos by Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, Director of the Directorate of Publicity and Communications.
He said that the PDP's attendance on the campaign trail in Rivers had already started to count down.
“Early in the week, the PDP in Rivers State released its official campaign timetable. We have barely four days to go before the commencement of the outdoor campaigns of the PDP.
“Beginning from Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area on the 16th of this month, we shall go from local government to local government area to showcase our candidates and what the PDP will do for Rivers people in the next four years,” Nwuke said.
He said that the PDP was still the opposition party considering what had transpired in the state over the previous seven years in terms of the implementation of well-thought-out development projects at the grassroots.
He said that no one with a "pure and discerning heart" could possibly have any doubts about the Rivers PDP's ability to lead the state to a new level of development and growth.
“As a responsible and focused political party, experienced in the delivery of good governance, we are prepared to take our message of economic prosperity, social transformation, and political consolidation to all the nooks and crannies of Rivers State.
“We are similarly ready to share our message of great hope and outstanding achievements of the Wike administration that eyes can see, with the good people of Rivers State.
“By the grace of God, the report card, eminently earned by the performing governor of Rivers State, adjudged the best in the country has been well received by detribalized Nigerians and all true Rivers people,” he added.
He said, "Rivers State is PDP, PDP is Rivers State," and added that it was well documented that succeeding PDP governments in Rivers have labored assiduously to deliver the democratic dividends in pursuit of a shared goal with the people.
“It is, therefore, time to gird our loins for the good fight, time to roll up our sleeves and time to put our hands on the plow in a determined effort to further uplift the pace of development in our state along a defined path that puts the people first and selfish personal interests last.
“It is time to enter into another social contract with our people, and time to execute a new understanding that works for all through the consolidation of efforts that are rapidly shaping the future of the Rivers State.
“Let no one deceive Rivers people. This is a fight between light and darkness; a fight between empty promises and promises fulfilled; a fight between deceitful lies and a great will on the part of our leaders to serve the people,” he said.
Nwuke urged all supporters of the state to cast their ballots for the ruling party in the upcoming elections in large numbers.
We urge everyone who loves our wonderful state, everyone who was born there, everyone who lives in our urban and semi-urban regions, everyone who lives in our local government areas, everyone who lives in our small villages, to turn out in large numbers.
