Please who is he , we don't know him here in Bethlehem

chrisxxx:
[s]Bros this is an easy ride for wike. I have little reason to support him. If AMeachi had come back to PDP any person he presents surely would win. As it is now Rivers people are not looking at the credibility of DAkuku but his party platform. It becomes a situation that most and the majority of Rivers people will vote PDP even without a candidate. Try to reason why nobody is fighting over the APC guber slot. Magnus knows this and would prefer a sure and easy bet going back to the senate.
PDP will win Rivers State. The only visible effect is that of the presidency. Jonathan would win but may not rip up to his previous votes margin.
I will vote PDP not necessarily Wike. This situation applies to a lot others too. This could be as a result of resentment feeling for both AMaechi ,his APC and his anti-Jonathan stance. Rivers people do not Care if Jonathan has done anything for them as they still believe he is their son and in-law and if given a second term would remember them[/s]

I pray Dakuku wins so that the famous Opobo will be linked by bridge. I was told he built the bridge up to a certain portion when he was minister for works. That LGA/Island supposed to be a tourist destination. King Jaja of Opobo comes to mind.

Lie! There's no bridge built by Peterside as former commissioner of works linking Opobo. I've been to Opobo, even their family house is just facing the water-front. The only place that's close to Opoba town is Ikot Abasi, the host community of Aluminium smelting Company (ALSCON), which is just directly facing the Opobo town. Access to Opobo town at the moment is through speed boat through a jetty at one Ogoni town (forgotten the name).

Dakuku Peterside actually did a good job during Amaechi firt term in Office, as he was very proactive in supervising many road projects going on then in Rivers State. I wish him all the best in his duel with Nyesom Wike for Rivers State governorship position. It's indeed going to be an herculean task for Perterside.

Bros dont worry its the other way round...check the trend of politics and electioneering across the country and you'll see that the people vote along the line of quality candidacy not party....mark this space!

Well that may be the opinions of some people, but as for me I would stick with my party because there is no difference between the politicians, even though they are in different parties.

None that I know of except the one(Mr Wike) that openly attends their weekly (ogboni) fellowship at No.1 Aggrey road every wednesday. Beat that!

CaptainOjemba:
I want to commend u for ur insight into Opobo Town, the Opobo link road was started by Peter Odili that was 2005 and as at 2006 the road has gotten to Ngo the lga headquater of Uche Secundus, from Ogoni thru Inyogoro town to link all the Aandoni towns, the one that Connects Opobo start from Inyongoro town pass thru Nkoro town to Kalaibiama an Opobo suburb town, as at now the road has gotten to Kalaibiama, soonest it will get to Opobo town, The Ogoni town u are talking of Is Kono home town of Joseph Yobo, from Ikot Abasi to Opobo by boat is just 5minute. All those areas in know them too well. Dakuku cannot win all the votes in Opobo town cos even when they are all in pdp there were still factions headed by Sam Accra Jaja, Sam Sam Jaja, Tamunosis Jaja, Dakuku etc. His candidature will not get him the votes of all the riverine people cos pdp is a grass root party in rivers state.

This is the reason why I don't take most of these opposition supporters serious. You just wake up and make baseless accusations without facts, just because you don't like the person. For your information, I don't dwell on rumour but facts. Wike on his side has done very well while serving as minister of state for Education, by spear heading the face lifting of the unity schools across the nation, as well as establishment of the Amajiri schools in many northern states. He equally deserves supports from well meaning Rivers state residents.

barcanista:
The victory of Hon Dakuku Peterside is a victory for all the Riverine people and the good people of upland. This is coming at a time when the PDP is bent on foisting a very unpopular Wike just for the selfish interest of the first family. We all must ensure that our kits and kin troop out to thumb print for APC and Mr. Dakuku Peterside. As for Amaechi, he's indeed a brother to the entire Ijaw population in Rivers state for returning power to our people. He paid us in kind like what we did for him in 2007 and 2011. Thank you Amaechi! The riverine will extend such to our Ogoni neighbours in 2023.

God bless Rivers State
Dakuku Peterside for Governor(Rivers)
Ambode for Governor(Lagos)
Buhari for President

aguizm:
U go from thread to thread supporting APC as if you ve got a say in all the states. U are only entitled to one vote Mr man and sure is gonna be in Lagos. As for we here in Rivers PDP is our party. Bleep APC

ogb5:
This looks more like APC primaries in Rivers State was abandoned by aspirants. A viable party is supposed to have several people struggling to get the nomination for a wealthy state like Rivers.

I am suspecting that other aspirants are annoyed with the selection process and decided to stay away.

This guy, Dakuku Peterside is a marvel! I have had one on one encounter with him on several occassions when he was the commissioner for Works in Rivers state. He is very enlightened! But I wont vote for him because of the arrogant and garrulous Amaechi and his APC.
