WE’LL WIN CONVINCINGLY, RIVERS ADC SENATORIAL CANDIDATE VOWS … AS PARTY INAUGURATES CAMPAIGN COUNCIL IN LGA

The candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the Rivers South-East Senatorial District, Sir Tele Ikuru, has assured his supporters of victory in the 2027 election.

Sir Ikuru gave the assurance during the inauguration of the Tai ADC campaign council at Nonwa, headquarters of Tai Local Government Area.

He expressed the confidence that the ADC would win the forthcoming election from the presidency to the senatorial districts, urging the supporters to remain calm while also talking to the people about the party.

“ADC is not just a party, it is a movement. “From the north to the south, from the grassroots to the centre, the people have taken over.

“In Rivers South-East, we will win and we will win overwhelmingly”, he said.

He charged the campaign council to remain disciplined, united and focused on results, adding that victory would come through hard work at the Ward and unit levels.

Sir Ikuru said he remained the best candidate for the district, assuring that he would not disappoint the people if elected into the Senate.

Speaking at the occasion, a chieftain of the ADC and former Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs in Rivers State, Dr John Bazia, promised that the party would mobilize the people of the area towards the victory of the party in the area.

Dr. Bazia, who is the leader of the party in the local government area, noted that Ogoni has neither produced a governor, deputy governor nor Speaker of the House of Assembly since the creation of Rivers State, arguing that any Ogoni leader who does not share in the collective aspirations of the Ogoni people could not be a true leader of Ogoni.

The ADC governorship candidate in Rivers State, Dr Gabriel Pidomson, who was represented by his brother, Mr. Tombari Pidomson, assured the people that his administration would drive meaningful development to the grassroots.

Also speaking, a former Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Hon. George Feyii, congratulated the newly sworn-in members of the campaign council and charged them to put in their best for the victory of the party.

The ADC candidate for Oyigbo/Eleme/Tai Federal Constituency, Prince Obarinee Wai-Ogosu, stressed that Rivers State belonged to everyone and not to a few individuals, adding that opponents were scared because the ADC has taken over the grassroots from the North to the South.

In her remarks, Mrs. Kate Sam-Ngbor charged party members to stand up to the opponents collectively, adding that youths and women have a major role to play in the upcoming elections, while advising members and supporters to stand by each other.

The Chairman of the party in the LGA, Hon. Tenede Akekwe, charged all directorates and departments of the party in the area to function effectively and efficiently.

He stressed that the inauguration was a call to service, and that output would not be measured by the number of meetings held or photographs taken, but by the results achieved.

The ADC House of Assembly candidate for Tai, Hon. Promise Geregere, said the time for young people to be in leadership positions is now.

He promised that if elected, he would consult regularly with relevant stakeholders, initiate town hall meetings, carry out people-oriented constituency projects, and champion youth and women empowerment among other human capital improvement support programmes.
