Rotimi Amaechi

The Immediate past Junior Minister for education and Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Barrister Wike has stated that Governor Amaechi has abandoned the All Progressives Congress campaign and ran back to Rivers State to salvage his party in the face of imminent defeat by the PDP in the state.

 In a statement signed by his Special Assistant (Media), Simeon Nwakaudu, Wike said: “Whether outgoing governor Amaechi sleeps in Rivers State till election, the APC will be roundly defeated in all local governments of the state.

“Amaechi abandoned his principal and embattled APC Presidential Candidate to run back to salvage his party. But, there is nothing Amaechi can do for his boy and the APC. It is PDP all the way. The people of Rivers State belong to PDP and no matter the amount of stolen funds Amaechi spends, PDP will win Rivers State”.

Speaking further, Barrister Wike assured the people of Ahoada East LGA that he would re-define development in the area by investing resources to improve their lives. He promised to site a tertiary institution in the LGA and also revive the industrial district located in Ahoada East.

“We will develop Ahoada East LGA and ensure that the neglected people of the area feel the impact of government. We will site a new tertiary institution in the LGA.”

Barrister Wike lamented that the Ekpeye people had suffered neglect, noting that his administration would work with the Ekpeye people to develop the area.

He urged the people of the area to vote PDP all the way.

Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Prince Chibudum Nwuche retreated on the need for the entire people of Ahoada East to vote Barrister Wike in order to attract development to the area.

Mrs Betty Apiafi,  a member representing Abua/Odual/Ahoada East Federal Constituency, called on the people of the area to vote en-masse for President Jonathan, Barrister Wike and all PDP candidates.

Earlier, the Ahoada East Traditional Council under the leadership of Eze Robinson O. Robinson has endorsed Barrister Wike for the governorship position of the state.
