2019 Elections: We’ll Enjoy Landslide Victory In Rivers -PDP

Rivers State Governor, Nyesome Wike

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has expressed optimism that it will enjoy a landslide victory in all elections in the state in 2019 as a result of the achievements recorded by Governor Nysesome Wike so far.

The party’s Publicity Secretary in the state, Samuel Nwanosike said this in the Ikwerre Local Government Area during an empowerment programme for women, where over 3,000 members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the area defected to PDP.

While receiving the defectors to the party, Nwanosike commended them for the decision to leave the APC for PDP.

He said, “Over 3,400 APC members from the 13 wards in the Ikwerre LGA, including non-indigenes, have defected to the PDP. The defectors left the APC because of failed promises, neglect and hardship inflicted on them by the APC-led administration in the country.

“The PDP will enjoy landslide victory in 2019; the PDP will win in all the wards and all the 23 local government areas in Rivers State, including the home of any candidate the APC will present. The people-oriented projects executed by the governor in all the local government areas are there for the people to see.

“The leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has brought about hope for the poor people, development and peace. The PDP will not renege in ensuring that Rivers people enjoy meaningful projects and empowerment.

“This is because, when you rule a people for as much as two years without bringing a definite change to their lives, but telling them stories every day, a day will come when God will liberate them and that day is now.”

One of the defectors, Mr. Robinson Solomon, said their decision to leave APC was as a result of the remarkable achievements and good leadership of Governor Wike and urged other members in APC to join PDP.

“I am calling on the remaining members of the APC in my area to join the PDP because the APC has really failed us,” he said.
