“The APC specially thank the traditional rulers and other community leaders who, despite their personal engagements, spared time to honour their outstanding and cherished son and political leader”.
“We implore the people to remain calm, law-abiding and prayerful as the APC will, by God’s grace, occupy Government House Port Harcourt come 2019 and usher in a government that will place the people first by developing our youths through education, capacity development and empowerment and not cultism, thuggery, kidnapping, killing and deception as characterised and promoted by the present government in Rivers State”.
