The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP has claimed that it has won 26 out of the 32 constituency position even as the state waits with tense anticipation the release of the results by the state Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Chairman of the party in Rivers State, Felix Obuah, in a press conference in Port Harcourt Wednesday, announced that “results from all polling units and constituencies where the elections were concluded have confirmed and reaffirmed to us that Rivers State is PDP; that PDP is our way of life in Rivers State. You have once again, reposed your total confidence in our party.
“With 26 State Constituencies already declared for PDP across the State, it is crystal clear that our governor His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has been re-elected by the good people of Rivers State,” he stressed.
He congratulated all PDP State House of Assembly candidates who were declared duly elected to represent their respective constituencies in the suspended elections.
He also expressed gratitude to the people saying “the outcome of the governorship and state Assembly Elections of March 9, 2019 proved the love the good people of Rivers State have for our beloved party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“You showed unparalleled love for our party by voting all the way for Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and all our candidates for the National and State Houses of Assembly elections”.
“As the chairman of the PDP, I wish to express and convey the gratitude of our party to the people of Rivers State for this wonderful show of love and support for our governorship candidate, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and the state Assembly candidates.”
Obua added; “I wish to assure you that from the results so far declared at the units across the state, the remaining PDP candidates, including Governor Wike, Senator George Thompson Sekibo and Hon. Betty Afiafi will also be elected on the strength of your votes.
“The victories of February 23rd and March 9, 2019 are victories for all Rivers people. By voting massively for PDP, Rivers people chose freedom, performance and merit over political gangsterism, impudence and impunity.
“You courageously stood your ground despite the arrests, harassment, violence and horrific onslaught on our democratic rights by the combined gang of renegade soldiers and F-SARs personnel. I want to assure the people of Rivers State that the PDP will not take your support for granted
“Therefore, as we await the official declaration by INEC that our governorship candidate, His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has been duly re-elected in line with the peoples’ votes and overwhelming wishes, I urge the people of Rivers State to remain vigilant and continue to support our party,” he said.
