The person that wrote this doesn't know anything abt Rivers politics. His just trying to promote this man. He might not even come 3rd in this election.

sageb:
The aforementioned LGAs are in Rivers South senatorial district and not in Rivers East senatorial district.
Correct your post.

NwekereNdoki:
Says who, we have Rivers East and we have Rivers South East (opobo, Bonny, etc)

Eleme, Tai, Oyibo, etc. are all in Rivers East

sageb:
You are wrong
Rivers East senatorial district have PHALGA, Okrika, Obio Akpor, etc.
Rivers East senator is senator George sekibo.
Eleme LGA, Tai, Khana,Oyigbo,etc are LGAs in River South East senatorial district.
Senator Barinada Mpigi is the one representing Rivers south East senatorial district.
Correct your post.

NwekereNdoki:
Okay. confirmed. Thanks

But the Rep member of Eleme/Tai/Oyigbo constituency is represented by Chisom Dike

sageb:
Tonye Cole is a good candidate but he is more of a stranger to us in Port Harcourt.
He spends his time abroad and outside Port Harcourt so people can't relate with him like they do with Dumo Briggs, Magnus Abe,etc.
There was a time he wrote "Isiokpo LGA" and post it when we know that Isiokpo is a community in Obio Akpor LGA.

mrksquare:
Same gaffe you and others are accusing Tonye Cole of is the same blunder you just committed in your riposte.

For your information, Isiokpo is a community in Ikwerre Local Government Area and not Obio Akpor.

Beside, let us look beyond the fact that Tonye Cole lived most of his life aside Rivers state and pay more attention to what he has to offer. One fundamental issue which Wike's headship as governor of Rivers state has exposed is the imperative of having a governor who possesses sufficient working experience. Wike has no working experience nor has he managed any business of his own before his foray into politics. This is what is accounting for why the man do not appreciate the human capital aspect of development. And is why I am not surprised that he has refused to promote civil servants for over 7years nor implement the minimum wage. It is why I am also not surprised that the Head of service is close to 64years and yet Wike is still retaining him and other Perm secs that are above the retirement age of 60 on contract basis. Go to the State civil service complex, the edifice is a shadow of itself.

You are aware Wike do not have a blueprint he is working with. He doesn't even have a Masterplan on how he wants Rivers state to be like in the next 50years. Wike isn't idealistic. He isn't much of an intellectual. Beside he lacks exposure. Which is why all the business entity his predecessor created are all comatoes today.

The same way I will support Tonye Cole is the same way I will support Herbert Wigwe of Access Bank should he decide to contest as govesnor in the future.

We need men who have distinguished themselves in business or in their chosen profession to rule Rivers state.

Those who are alleging that Tonye Cole is an outsider are those who have been benefiting from the status quo; from the patronage system that is so endemic in Rivers state.

Tonye Cole will do better than Sim. Sim is just an opportunist that isn't even prepared for the rigours that is associated with progressive governance.
