The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State led by Edwin Woko, has berated the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, over his recent remarks about the party’s ambition to win the Rivers State governorship election in 2027.
Henzodaily reports that during the inauguration of the Tony Okocha-led APC state executive in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Ganduje declared that capturing Rivers State’s Government House is a top priority for the party in the upcoming election.
In response, Edwin Woko, in an interview with Daily Post, said Governor Sim Fubara’s second term bid will be unhindered, and the people of Rivers State will ensure his victory at the poll.
The PDP chieftain maintained there is no vacancy in 2027, and the people had rejected the unfriendly policies of APC.
Nwoko added that Rivers State will not allow any form of manipulation in the 2027 election or watch faceless security agents rob citizens of their votes.
He stated: “The good people of Rivers State would leave no stone unturned to ensure that Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s second term bid will be unhindered.”
“The people of Rivers State had rejected APC and the people of the state will continue to reject APC and her unfriendly policies to the people.
“Governor Fubara will still contest the 2027 election on the platform of PDP despite all the challenges and disunity being inflicted on PDP by some political polyandrist that have infiltrated our great party PDP and which we are convinced that so soon thereafter all these APC polyandrous agents will become a thing of the past.
“The rape of democracy that took place during the last gubernatorial election in Edo State cannot be replicated in Rivers State, because election must be done by voting and not by capturing or rob people of their hard-earned votes through the help of faceless security agents or any other form of manipulation Ganduje’s APC may apply.”
