Rivers APC Aggrieved Youths Endorse Sim Fubara Of PDP As There Preferred Governorship Candidate

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press,

I heartily welcome you to this very important and timely press briefing.
My name is Ikenda Clinton Elechi, Member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State and an Assistant Director of Media of the Tonye Cole Campaign Organisation (TCCO)

With me are my colleagues, Hon Lucky Ottos, Precious Awuse, Wonodi Wosu, Derek Amadi, Kingsley Orji, Chief Wilson Wopara, Comr. Obarinee Wai-Ogosu, Comr. Baritone Clifford Zeal and many others not physically present all Members of the APC as well as Members and position holders in the Tonye Cole Campaign Organisation

As you all are aware, the Governorship and Houses of Assembly Elections are scheduled to hold Nationwide this Saturday, March 18th, 2023 including here in Rivers State

As you are also aware, during the first round of elections that featured the Presidential and National Assembly contests, the former Transportation Minister, His Excellency, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi adopted, endorsed and directed party members in the State to vote for the candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar against that of our Party, the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Although those of us seated here and other of our supporters did not heed the directive, we were nonetheless aware of it

The directive threw the party supporters into a state of confusion so much so that it cost the Party her National Assembly Seats

Since then,that directive has remained active and till this very moment, not been rescinded.
It is therefore on the strength of that directive that we are gathered here to make the following declarations;

1. That we are loyal members of the Party who have made huge contributions and sacrifices for the development of the Party

2. That we salute Rivers people on their support towards our Presidential Candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last elections
3. Similarly, that we commend the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike for his stance on power returning to the South after 8years of Northern rule which is in line with the dreams of our founding Fathers
4. That we acknowledge the support of the Governor, his supporters and the good people of the State without whom the party would have, once again, lost the Presidential Elections in the State as was the case in previous elections
5. That in the spirit of reciprocity and good fate, we align ourselves with call by the leader of the Party in the State, Chief Tony Chidugam Okocha (Ksc) that the party returns the favour done her by the Governor and people of Rivers State
6. In view of the above therefore, we, the youths of the All Progressives Congress, Rivers State, hereby, without any form of hesitation, endorse and adopt Sir Siminialayi Fubara as the preferred choice of the Party for the Governorship of Rivers State

7. That our Party, being a Party of Justice and fairness, Sir Siminialayi Fubara answers both the question of Riverine Governorship as well as in keeping with the principle of power rotation wherein Power should rotate to the Rivers South-East Senatorial Zone, the only Zone yet to produce the Governor of our dear State

8. Finally,that we call on other Candidates to step down for Sir Fubara in the spirit of good faith and enjoin Rivers people to vote him accordingly
