Rivers APC Pledges To Vote Wike’s Governorship Candidate

Wike

Some members of Rivers State’s All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council have pledged to support Siminialaye Fubara of the Peoples Democratic Party, the state governor’s anointed governorship candidate, Nyesom Wike, in the March 11 governorship and State Assembly elections.

According to them, this is a way of repaying Wike’s support for the APC presidential candidate, which was crucial in ensuring the APC won the state. They added that without his efforts, Tinubu would not have received up to 25% of the vote, as required by the state constitution.

The chairman of the APC’s Local Organising Committee for the state campaign noted that months before the APC presidential primaries, the team had inaugurated structures across the state to canvass support for Tinubu, but they were met with opposition from the state’s APC leader.

Okocha, who is also a member of the APC’s PCC and Independent Campaign Council in the state, claimed that they were denied access to party revalidation and were unlawfully excluded from electioneering processes without regard for electoral acts.

According to Vanguard, Okocha stated that between 2015 and 2019, the APC failed to win any election in the state and failed to secure 25% of votes for their presidential candidate.

He said, “We pulled together all efforts individually and collectively, yet we couldn’t secure 25 percent of the total votes cast for the presidential candidate of our party during the 2015 presidential election.

“It was worse in 2019 when we all still worked together with a super minister, security apparatchik and malleable election personnel, we couldn’t produce the required 25 per cent for our presidential candidate.

“But in 2023, against all expectations, APC Rivers won and secured over 40 per cent of the total votes cast for the presidential candidate of our party.

“Of tremendous note is to put on record the role of governor Wike of Rivers state, a leading member of the G5 Governors (Integrity Group), who threw his heavy weight in political maestro and “maverism” in support of the APC candidate.”

They urged the people of Rivers to vote for the man who will protect the Rivers’s interest for president of Nigeria.

“This, to say the least, was the game changer. Thank you, governor Wike, the political bulldozer.”
