Newly elected Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State, Amb Desmond Akawor has boasted that with his emergence as chairman of the party in the state, there will be no vacancy for other political parties to rule Rivers State in the next 16 years after Governor Nyesom Wike.
Akawor gave the assurance at the sideline of a private reception in his residence in Port Harcourt to thank friends and associates on his emergence as new chairman of PDP in the state.
He said he would not allow other political parties to take over the state from PDP as long as he remained the chairman of the party and even after his tenure.
Akawor said it would be unprecedented if during his tenure as chairman of the party, another political party defeated PDP in the state.
“Am sure, my God will not allow other political parties to take over the state from PDP during my tenure.
“It would be unprecedented if during my tenure another political party beats PDP to take over the state”, Akawor said.
He commended the outgoing chairman of the party in the state, Bro Felix Obuah for successfully leading the party to greater heights, saying that the new leadership will borrow a leaf from his leadership of the party in the state to make more progress.
The party chairman also commended Governor Nyesom Wike for his courage and style of leadership which, according to him, ensured that peace and harmony prevailed in the party.
Also speaking, the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor of Rivers State on NDDC, Barrister Erastus Awortu expressed confidence in the emergence of Desmond Akawor as chairman of PDP in the state.
According to him, Akawor has been tested in various leadership capacities, stating that he believed that the new chairman of the party in the state would take the party to greater heights.
Awortu, who is also serving as secretary, Greater Port Harcourt City Development Authority said that the party in the state was in safe hands in the next eight years and beyond considering the antecedents of Akawor.
