Rivers Lawmakers Endorse Jonathan, Wike For 2015 by kel4soft: 11:40pm On Jul 24, 2014
The anti-Governor Chibuike Amaechi members of
the Rivers State House of Assembly have said
they had endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan
for a second term in officer in 2015.
They also called on Minister of State for
Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, to vie for the
position of governor of the state in 2015.
In a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday,
the lawmakers: Evans Bapakaye Bipi (Ogu/Bolo
Constituency), Martin Amaewhule (Obio/Akpor
Constituency-I), Michael Okechukwu Chinda
(Obio/Akpor Constituency-II), Victor Ihunwo (Port-
Harcourt Constituency-III), Kelechi Nwogu
(Omuma Constituency), and Ibani Ikuiyi (Andoni
Constituency) said they had to back Jonathan
because of his the success of the transformation
agenda.
They said: “We members of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the Rivers State House
of Assembly have endorsed President Jonathan
for a second term as president in 2015.
“This is due to his transformation agenda which
is fast tracking development in the country.
“The transformation agenda of the Jonathan’s
administration has been felt in critical sectors of
the economy such as power, aviation, oil and gas,
education, agriculture, trade and investment,
health and tourism.
“The transformation agenda has also led to the
development of key infrastructure particularly
roads as well as economic empowerment of
citizens and the improvement of the well-being of
Nigerians.
“If the Jonathan’s administration could achieve
these in less than four years we believe that if
given a second term it would achieve more and
place Nigeria in a better position among the
comity of nations.”
The lawmakers also said they had to endorse
Wike because of his achievements in the
education sector since his appointment as
minister.
“We have also endorsed the Minister of State for
Education, Nyesom Wike for the state
governorship position in 2015.
“Our support for Wike for governorship was borne
out of his achievement in the education sector in
the country as well as his sterling leadership
qualities, ”said.
While calling on Wike to contest for the position of
governor, the lawmakers, said: “We assured the
minister that he would get our total support
anytime he decides to declare his ambition to run
for the state governorship election.”
In another related development, youths of
Jonathan’s local government area, Ogbia, in
Bayelsa State have passed a vote of confidence
on the president for his “unprecedented
developmental strides” with a call on him to
declare, contest, and win the 2015 presidential
election.
The youths, drawn from various youth platforms/
groups, also passed a vote of confidence on
Governor Seriake Dickson, with a plea to him to
continue the good works he had been doing in the
state.
