The national chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) Chief Odigie Oyegun has
urged the people of Rivers State to join other
Nigerians in voting out the Peoples
Democratic Party out in the coming
elections.
“During the PDP South-South campaign, he
(President Goodluck Jonathan) told the
whole nation that APC does not exist in
Rivers State; that it is only a poster party.
We were worried and we concerned. Your
governor, a fantastic man, was challenged,”
said Oyegun at a rally to celebrate Governor
Rotimi Amaechi’s seven years in office.
“So, today, he brought all of us here. The
entire leadership of APC is lined up here
today. I want to tell you that we have come.
I want to tell you that we have seen; I want
to tell you that we are convinced, that your
great governor, Chubuike Amaechi, controls
Rivers State; that APC is in charge of Rivers
State.
“Finally, those of you who will work for and
will make sure that we get a permanent voter
card so that they can vote on that day so
that we can make Nigeria PDP-free as Rivers
is today Ebola-free, give me a great big o
yeah!” he said.
Also speaking at the event, Former Vice
President Atiku Abubakr, who is also
contesting the presidential election, said the
growth witnessed by Rivers State was
unprecedented.
“Do you want the progress to continue? Do
you want to feel the projects? Do you want
to eradicate poverty? Do you want to go to
good schools? Do you want good roads? Do
you want power? Vote APC, vote APC, vote
APC,” he added.
Dignitaries of the party present at the rally
include: Former Head of State Muhammadu
Buhari, Kano State Governor Rabiu
Kwankwaso, Presidential aspirant, Sam Nda-
Isaiah, among others.
