Dakuku Peterside, former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA and a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has said that he is back to the state to consult for his 2023 aspirations.
Speaking to supporters on his arrival at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Peterside said that he is a team player, adding that the aspiration of the state will guide his interests.
“I want to thank you all for coming out in your numbers, in solidarity, to welcome me home. I truly appreciate your support over the years. I will never take your loyalty to our shared vision for granted,” he said to a cheering crowd.
“A lot has happened in the last couple of days. There have been a myriad of actions and reactions and many of you have been troubled.
“Most of you who know me, and I believe the majority have followed my decisions in the past, acknowledge the fact that the greater interest of Rivers State will always guide my actions. It has never been about my self or my ambition.
“I am a team player and a result of the moral, material and spiritual contributions of family and friends. Conscious of the place of history and posterity in political choices, I have come back to the people to consult since it is the people who gave me impetus to aspire in the first place.
“This is a critical phase in my aspiration because I know that I carry the dreams and aspirations of many with me. One thing I can assure you is that I will act with the best interest of our party, our state and our nation at heart. It will not be about my personal ambition”.
