By Our Reporter
Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has declared that the State is capable of delivering massive votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate, Rt Hon Kingsley Chinda and other candidates of the Rainbow Coalition in the forthcoming general elections.
Fubara who stated this on Thursday at the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in Port Harcourt, said the surest path to victory is for the members of the Presidential Campaign Council drawn from the APC and the Rainbow Coalition to embrace the spirit of teamwork..
Governor Fubara said what the state was witnessing in the current political season is a repeat of the successful mobilization done in 2022 and 2023, when a large campaign council worked in unity to deliver victory for him and for President Tinubu, adding that the present council is bigger, wider and better coordinated and should therefore achieve even better results.
He noted that the beauty of the new council is the fact that some persons who were in the opposition camp during the previous elections are now part of the team, noting that their inclusion has made the task easier, provided everyone works as one team and with sincerity of purpose.
The Governor thanked the Coordinator of the Presidential Campaign Council for Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and other leaders who worked tirelessly to bring the council to fruition, stressing that nothing is impossible especially when people work together for a common purpose. He expressed optimism that with seriousness and commitment, the state would record a higher number of votes than it recorded in 2023.
Governor Fubara, while congratulating members who made the list, appealed to those whose names were omitted not to be discouraged, as there are still sub-committees to be constituted and the list can still be updated, even as he warned against double loyalty.
He said the state has gone past the stage of division and is now looking to the future and what God holds for Rivers people, expressing confidence that with the strategy already put in place, the APC and the Rainbow Coalition would come out victorious in 2027.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and Coordinator of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council for Rivers State and the FCT, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, while inaugurating the Campaign Council, lauded Governor Fubara for finding time to attend the ceremony and other engagements of the council in spite of his busy schedules.
Wike who is also the National Leader of the PDP/ Rainbow Coalition, reminded members of the newly inaugurated Presidential Campaign Council that each of them have been chosen based on their capacity to participate in the activities of the group and deliver positive results.
He charged them to work hard to win votes for the candidates of the APC and the Rainbow Coalition for the Presidential, Governorship, National Assembly as well as State House of Assembly elections next year.
He disclosed that apart from the Presidential Campaign Council and its Sub-Committees, the Local Government Campaign Councils will soon be inaugurated to ensure better coverage of the grassroots during the current campaign season.
Wike also emphasised the need for every member of the council to work hard towards the delivery of massive votes for the candidates of the APC and Rainbow Coalition in the forthcoming elections. NNL.
