A frontline politician in Rivers State Chief Chukwuma Chinwa
Oikrie has commended the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers
state under the leadership of Bro. Felix Obuah (Go Round) for the support the party
has given to President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid.
Chief Okirie made this known at Omoku Town the headquarters
of Ogba/ Egbema / Ndoni local government area over the weekend when the Party opened
the Campaign Office of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in the LGA. While
thanking the state Chairman for his support, Chief Okirie stated that with the
support the President has received from the party in the state, there was even
no need for him to come and campaign personally. “With the tremendous support the people of
the state have accorded the President, I think he should go and rest. It is
even immaterial if he comes to campaign personally because the people of the
state are behind him. We will give him the traditional 100% votes we have
always given our Presidential aspirants” he said.
He assured Rivers people that the PDP was the best option
for them stating that the state has a lot to benefit from a PDP led
administration both at the Federal and state levels. He warned Rivers people
against falling for the antics of the APC especially since the party at the
national level has shown disdain for Rivers people in all ramifications.
C C Okirie also blasted the party at the National level for
disparaging the office of the President. He said it was wrong for a party that
hopes to occupy the presidency to engage in the politics of disparaging that
same office. He described their politics as atavistic and out of tune with
modern day politics.
While commending Bro. Felix Obuah, C C Okirie asked the
people of ONELGA and the state in general not to relent in their support for
the Chairman so as for the state to witness good governance and positive
development in the years ahead.
It will be recalled that the State Chapter of the party led
by its Leader Barr. Nyesopm Wike had gone on a tour of local governments under
Orashi region of Rivers state drumming up support for Mr. President and also
launching LGA Chapters of Goodliuck Support Offices in the LGAs. LGAs Visited
included Ahaoda West, Ahoada East, Abua Odual As well as Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA.
Top politicians also joined the party leader. They include Kenneth Kobani, Hon.
Ken Chikere. Chief Sergent Awuse, Marshall Uwom, Orits Onyiri, Hon. Betty
Apiafi amongst others. The event drew a mammoth crowd.
