Obio/Akpor welcomed the
Greater Together Campaign
Train with celebration and a
carnival atmosphere. The APC
faithfuls filled up the venue
and the streets leading to it. Tony Okocha, Chief of Staff to
the Rivers State Governor and
candidate for House of
Representatives, took the
stage but was not allowed to
campaign. Instead, he led the crowd and the band in an
impromptu reggae concert,
singing Bob Marley classics.

Hon Andrew Uchendu,
currently a member of the
House of Representatives and
seeking election to the Senate,
spoke on behalf of the Ikwerre
people. He informed the rally that the Supreme Council of
Ikwerre Traditional Rulers had
endorsed Dakuku Peterside for
the governorship of Rivers
State. Speaking on the
presidential election, he said Nigerians and the people of
Rivers State could not afford to
keep President Jonathan in
office.

"In the course of my
oversight duties [in the House
of Reps], I have found out that the problem with Nigeria is
that nobody is in charge right
now. Even the president has
admitted he didn't do
anything. Can we afford to
wait another four years? Vote him out.

" He urged the people
of Rivers State to vote for
Muhammadu Buhari, and not
to base their choice on regional
affinity. "There is no brother in
politics. The only brother is the one that looks out for your
interest.

" When Dakuku Peterside took
the microphone, the already
revved-up crowd stirred itself
into a frenzy. He led the crowd
in the new rallying cry:
"February 14th, stand your ground; February 28th, stand
your ground". Telling the
crowd that Nigeria needed APC
and Buhari, he declared "the
current Federal Government
has failed Nigeria." He stressed that voting Buhari for
President would enable the
APC Government to bring
peace and security to Obio/
Akpor through transparent use
of the security forces. Dr Peterside told the people to
vote Andrew Uchendu because
he would be "a Senator that
will give you a voice in Abuja,
not one that will keep mute." If
elected Governor, Dr Peterside promised to boost the
economic development of the
LGA, and to further
democratize the
empowerment of its people.
He finally encouraged the people to stand their ground
on Election Day, and not allow
anyone to chase them from
their polling units and collation
Centres until their votes are
counted and the current results announced and recorded.
