PDP says open-air campaigns to begin in Rivers

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Committee in Rivers says it is set to commence its open-air campaigns.
Its spokesman, Ogbonna Nwuke, disclosed this in a statement.
He said the countdown to PDP’s appearance on the campaign trail in Rivers had begun.
“Early in the week, the PDP in Rivers state released its official campaign timetable. We have barely four days to go to the commencement of the outdoor campaigns of the PDP,” said the statement. “Beginning from Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government area on the 16th of this month, we shall go from local government to local government area to showcase our candidates and what the PDP will do for Rivers people in the next four years.”
The party said that given what had happened in Rivers in the last seven years in the execution of well-thought-out development programmes at the grassroots, PDP remained the party to beat.
“As a responsible and focused political party experienced in the delivery of good governance, we are prepared to take our message of economic prosperity, social transformation and political consolidation to all the nooks and crannies of Rivers state,” noted the PDP statement.
It added, “We are similarly ready to share our message of great hope and outstanding achievements of the Wike administration that eyes can see, with the good people of Rivers state. By the grace of God, the report card, eminently earned by the performing governor of Rivers state, adjudged the best in the country, has been well received by detribalised Nigerians and all true Rivers people.”
