Rivers APC Pick Asita As Peterside’s Running Mate by cidieschat(op): 7:07am On Dec 22, 2014

There are reports that the All Progressives
Congress, APC, in Rivers State may have
settled for Hon. Honourable Asita O. Asita
as the running mate to the party’s
candidate, Dakuku Peterside.
The choice of Asita may have come after
many weeks of deliberations to zone the
position to the upland area.
Asita, who is a Federal Lawmaker like
Dakuku, has total loyalty to the state
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.

Born on December 31, 1966, Honourable
Asita hails from Ahaoda-West Local
Government area, the Orashi region of
Rivers State and same constituency with
the former Governor of the state, Dr.
Peter Odili.
He was part of the pool of young
politicians recruited and groomed by
Amaechi.
He was a Commissioner under Odili’s
tenure before he joined the Federal
House of Representatives in 2007 up till
date.
In the meantime, there are strong
indications that the PDP governorship
aspirant, Nyesom Wike is considering a
kalabari (riverine) as his Deputy Governor.
The issue of upland and riverine
dichotomy plays huge role in the politics
of Rivers State.

Governor Sieriaki Henry Dickson of Bayelsa State came from the House of Representatives. President Barrack Obama of the US was a Senator in the State of Illinois before he moved the Senate in the Congress, from where he was elected President in 2008. President Gerald Ford was the Minority Leader in the House of Representatives at the Congress when he was made VP by Richard Nixon. He succeeded when he resigned.

There you go again with EMPTY talk that looks good but does NOT address any issue raised.

How many bills did our Nigerian lawmakers raise to deal with matters in their constituency huh
I am sure you will find many by Obama etc before they were promoted to higher functions.

Why should that not be the case with us?
Do you think it is because our intelligence is inferior to theirs or we are simply lazy mentally huh

Dakuku peterside is the APC governorship flag bearer.
Likely the next governor of rivers state.

Dakuku is currently a federal law maker representing opobo/nkoro/ndoki/bonny constituensy of rivers state.
He was former commissioner or works in Amaechis First term. He is a workaholic .... Ensuring that jobs are done on target. Showing his passion for exelence in most of his task.

Asita o asita is a also a federal rep from rivers state.
