Nyesom Wike Camp Receives Boost As Pro Mainstream Group Abandons Aggrieved PDP Governorship Aspirants… Seeks Massive Support For Wike
A pro Rivers mainstream campaign group Niger Delta
Renaissance Organisation NDRO has abandoned the coalition which hitherto was
against the governorship aspiration of Barrister Nyesom Wike.
The group is also asking Rivers people not to be deceived by
the promises of the All Progressives Congress APC and its governorship aspirant
Hon. Dakuku Peterside whom they described as anti people.
The group in a press statement signed by its National
Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah said it was abandoning the stance of the aggrieved guber aspirants against the nomination of Wike due to what it described as their rigid style of
politics which will not do the PDP in the state any good. The group advised all
aggrieved gubernatorial aspirants under the PDP to act like a gentlemen by
accepting the olive branch offered by the leadership of the party.
The group accused the conveners of the Rivers mainstream
Coalition who are still hell bent on fighting against the choice of Wike as the
flag bearer of the party to rethink their stance and embrace the peace accord
of the party. “They cannot continue to
posture as enemies of the party after all they have achieved in the party. As
youths desirous of progress in our dear state and country, we want them to be cautioned
against their acts of trying to sabotage the party at the state”. The group
stated.
It described the PDP flag bearer as a fighter who must be
commended for his efforts in ensuring that the party in the state survives
despite efforts by few disgruntled elements to paint him in bad light. “It must
be acknowledged that while other strong members of the party were dragging
their feet when Governor Amaechi betrayed the mandate handed him, Chief Nyesom
Wike assumed leadership of the party ensuring that the interest of the party,
the people of Rivers state and that of Mr. President was not in danger. He must
be commended for keeping the party alive” The statement added.
The NDRO as a group made up of faithful party members
desirous of ensuring the victory of the PDP at every level of government, said it behoves its group as well as other
well meaning Rivers people as well as groups to rally round the governorship
flag bearer of the party in the state.
The group advised disgruntled elements in the party to
realize that the primaries are over and that all other interests must sink in other
for the party to emerge victorious at the polls.
It said it will do all it can towards mobilizing support of Rivers people as well
as Nigerians for the victory of the party in Rivers state as well as other
Niger Delta states.
It will be recalled that the Niger Delta Renaissance
Organisation NDRO was one of the groups that fought against the nomination of
Chief Nyesom Wike during the build up to the party primaries under the Rivers
Mainstream Coalition. With its endorsement of Wike now, the coast seem to be
very clear for the victory of Chief Nyesom Wike at the general elections slated
for April. The endorsement will also pave way for other groups and individuals
to embrace the Nyesom Wike project.
