…in the spirit of brotherliness!
At a time many politicians in the
country and their supporters are engaging one another in campaign of calumny
and vituperation. The Rivers state gubernatorial aspirant Dr. Dakuku Peterside
has called for issues based campaign ahead of the 2015 general election. The federal
law maker called on candidates in other
political parties to focus on issues rather than resorting to name-calling and
spiteful comments.
Dr. Peterside who represented
Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, at the CARNIRIV grand
finale in Port Harcourt, asked APC
supporters to unite and ensure that they reject candidates who have no
programme for Rivers State and its people.
In his words:... Continue
“You
know that if we don’t work together, some other persons who are interested in
something else other than service; some other persons who are interested in the
state’s purse; some other persons who do not fear God, will come and destroy
our heritage and endanger our future. We must not allow them to destroy our
future and the future of our children.
“We
know them by their conduct and comments. When they go to campaign, they will
not say what they have done or what they will do for Rivers people. They only
use such platforms to criticise and attack personalities but we do not have
such time. At every opportunity, we tell you how we will better the lives of
our people. We tell you how we can give you hope; we tell you how we can
sustain the legacies of the current administration and improve on it. It is our
promise that when you elect an APC government to take over from Governor
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, we will spend every second, every minute working for
you, working for a prosperous Rivers State.
“On
my honour, I pledge that we will use every second in that office working for
your own good, keeping your interest above our personal interest and above all,
ensuring that you are a top priority of Rivers State government. Therefore,
join us on this journey and as you do, I want to say: may God bless all of you!
Peterside who watched the
colourful dance steps of all the local government areas at the carnival
acknowledged Governor Amaechi’s commitment and unmatched efforts towards
boosting human capital, improving lives and building world class infrastructure
in Rivers State. He described the governor as a far-sighted leader and
consummate administrator who will always be loved and remembered for his
foresight.
“As your in-coming
governor, I want to say this: we will build on the foundation already laid by
the administration of Governor Amaechi. We will give tourism a pride of place
to be a critical component of our new economic order that is determined to see
Rivers as a prosperous state, a peaceful state, a state that is united under
God, a state where everybody feels a sense of ownership and where everybody is
safe and secure. Tourism will play a
critical role in that new order. Therefore, let me use this opportunity to
invite all of you to join us on this journey to consolidate on the achievements
of the Amaechi administration.
