As the jostle for party tickets intensifies ahead of primaries of the various political parties, a coalition of youth groups led by Youths Earnestly Seek Obuah (YES-O), have appealed to delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State to give the party’s governorship ticket to the immediate past Chairman of the PDP in the state, Bro. Felix Amechi Obuah.
The youths who made the appeal at a press briefing in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, said Obuah is eminently qualified for the guber job having shown capacity in all previous engagements within and outside the state.
In a statement released after the briefing, they averred that Obuah’s achievements both in politics and business spoke volume.
In the statement which was jointly signed by the State Chairman of YES-O, Hon. Charles Ogechi; President, National Union of Rivers State Students (NURSS), Rivers State College of Health Sciences and Management Technology chapter, Comrade Hannah Dabie; and State Chairman, CUPP, Kukang Joseph Ledum, the youths urged the PDP to consider Bro. Obuah as a consensus candidate, describing his candidature as a good brand that would market the PDP to Rivers people across party lines.
“Considering the past and present leadership styles and dutiful performances of Bro. Felix Obuah both as former ONELGA Chairman, immediate past Chairman of PDP for two consecutive terms, former IPAC Chairman in the state, business man, sports promoter, farmer, philanthropist etc., we have no doubt that Bro. Obuah has enormous capacity to deliver”, the youths stated, adding that ‘Go Round’ as he is fondly called, have been tested and trusted in public and private sectors, and had recorded huge successes.
“With Bro. Felix Obuah, Rivers people will rejoice as he will consolidate on the efforts of His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, and bring smiles on the faces of Rivers people through his open-door policy of governance”, the statement declared.
