Rivers State Governor has disclosed why members of the Rivers caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) decided to back the Chairman of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, as the governorship candidate of the party.
Amaechi stated that Peterside, 44, a former Rivers Commissioner for Works, who represents Andoni-Opobo/Nkoro constituency would be able to relate well with the youths.
He noted that his government was desirous of ensuring sustainable development for Rivers people with the firm belief in the power of the people to make a positive change.
Amaechi said: “In spite of the various challenges experienced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), we urge our citizens not to relent in participating in the exercise.
“It is our hope that the electoral body will do all that is necessary to ensure a hitch-free exercise in the state and that no eligible voter is denied his card or registration.
“Through this participation, we can individually and collectively elect credible men and women into various positions in the forthcoming 2015 general elections. Your Permanent Voter Registration Card guarantees you a voice in governance”
