The overwhelming massive turn-out of the Ogoni people and the
people of the other six Local Government Areas that make up the Rivers
South/East Senatorial District for the National and State Assembly re-run
campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is a political statement and an
indisputable endorsement of the PDP and its candidates for the election.
Bro Felix Obuah, State chairman of the PDP made this
declaration while reacting to the overpowering crowd that flooded Bori, Ogoni,
venue of the Senatorial District’s campaign rally.
Expressing his joy and satisfaction with the love and warm
reception exhibited by the hosts, the Ogoni people, through a statement signed
by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, the State PDP boss
said he was amazed by the enthusiasm and steadfastness shown by the grieving
Ogoni people who just about a week ago lost a number of their people to
overzealous political office seekers from the area who incited unwarranted
military attack on the people.
Bro Obuah, who described the support exhibited by the Ogoni
people as simply infectious and unprecedented promised that they will not
regret following the right path by choosing to support Governor Nyesom Wike-led
government and the PDP.
He urged them to translate all their love and support to
another amazing victory for the PDP by coming out enmasse on Saturday, March
19, to vote for all PDP candidates, conduct themselves peacefully but guard
their votes religiously.
According the State PDP chairman, all the Rivers South/East
and the Ogoni people in particular must be greatly rewarded by government for
their support and enjoined them not to relent.
“May I once more reiterate our great concern about the
regrettable onslaught that was brought on the Ogoni people recently by the
desperate opposition politicians from the area and wish to express our
condolences to the affected families. We, as a party will ensure that those
that lost their lives in that barbaric encounter did not die in vain neither
will their assailants go scot free.
But to be able to carry out all our plans and prayers we need
to form a formidable force to back-up our able and action governor, Chief Barr.
Nyesom Wike by revalidating our mandate to all the PDP candidates for the
National and State Assembly on Saturday.
As you carry out this civil responsibility, we pray we’ll
gather here again shortly after the election for greater victory celebration,”
Bro Obuah prayed.
