One of the frontline support groups for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ASALGA 13, has reiterated its determination to mobilize support for the re-election of Governor Nyesom Wike in 2019.
According to the group’s vision bearer, Onegiyeofori George, ASALGA 13 is poised to ensure victory for Wike come 2019, based on his developmental efforts, especially in areas of infrastructure and human capacity development in the State, which he noted has won the hearts of Rivers people.
Hon. George made this known recently in Buguma City, during the official inauguration of the Ward Coordinators and Unit Executive Councils.
According to him, the formation of ASALGA 13 will further strengthen the ruling PDP in the State, stressing that everybody has to work to ensure that Governor Wike is re-elected in the 2019 general elections.
He called on the people of Kalabari to give maximum support to Governor Wike, saying, although the governorship position has been occupied by the upland people for sometime now and the issue of a Kalabari born governor is desirable, noting that timing is key.
Hon. George noted that political power cannot be achieved on a platter of gold but through serious efforts and commitment, by liasing with other ethnic groups to achieve such aim. He, therefore, called on the people of Kalabari to exercise patience and wait for 2023.
He also used the medium to tell the people that the group will empower students with educational materials as a way of relieving some parents the burden of catering for their wards following the hard economic situation in the country.
The Chairman of the group, Daibi Amachree, charged the newly inaugurated Coordinators and Executive council members to go to the nooks and crannies of the local government areas to mobilize support for Governor Nyesom Wike’s re-election come 2019.
The PDP stalwart said that the group was borne out of appreciation of the governor’s numerous achievements so far in all parts of the State, and also to enable him succeed in the forth-coming general elections.
He said that the group will also ensure that the votes of the people are protected so that the opposition will not steal the mandate of the people of Rivers State.
An ardent supporter of Governor Nyesom Wike, Hon. Seleipiri Francis, who is also the Secretary of the group said that despite the distractions by the opposition, the administration of Governor Wike has really done well for the people of Rivers State, which has left no one in doubt of his ability and vision to do more.
He urged the Kalabaris not to be deceived by the antics of the APC, camouflaging a Kalabari-born governorship aspirant, lamenting that the All Progressives Congress had brought hardship on Nigerians.
Hon. Francis urged Gov Wike to sustain the tempo of development in the State, with a view to improving the quality of life of citizens and an enabling environment for business to thrive in the State. He assured the governor of the group’s unflinching support.
