The Coalition To Save Rivers State Project (CTSRSP) has
drummed support for Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs’ governorship bid. The group made
this known though Mr. John Davidson its National Publicity Secretary at Benin
City during the Peoples Democratic Party PDP Zonal rally.
The group said of all the aspirants rooting for the
governorship ticket, it is only Chief Dumo Briggs that has all it takes to
govern the state and bring better development. The Coalition said it is
reaching out to various groups in the state to support the governorship bid and
is optimistic that with the support they are receiving the Dumo Lulu Briggs
candidacy will soon become all embracing.
The group said it wants an aspirant that can deliver on the
yearnings of the people considering the vast resources available to the state.
It wondered why the state should remain at the present level of development it
is as at today.
While declaring their commitment to the Goodluck Jonathan
second term bid, the group commended the Party for organising the rally, it
called on the National leadership not to allow members’ personal interest destroy
the party especially in Rivers state.
The Coalition berated those urging the present Minister of
state Nyesom Wike to run for governor stressing that Rivers people need a
governor that is not of Ikwerre extraction. “What Rivers people expect in 2015 as
far as the governorship of the state is concerned is not a governor of Ikwerre
extraction. We will not fold our hands and allow such impunity to be foisted on
us. As a heterogeneous state, we demand that the various political factors be considered
and in this case, the upland and riverine factor which is important for justice
and fair play” the statement added.
