Dr. Dakuku Peterside, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a former director general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), asserted that the voters in Rivers State are politically astute and know who to support in elections.
At a rally organised by the non-governmental organisation Rivers Progressives Front, RPF in Opobo, the seat of Opobo/Nkoro LGA, where over 500 PDP members switched to the APC, Peterside made this statement.
Siminalayi Fubara, the PDP governorship candidate for the 2023 election is from Opobo like Dakuku Peterside.
Peterside, who came to the rally in company of Tonye Cole, the APC 2023 governorship candidate said that contrary to the recent assertions by Governor Nyesom Wike, the people of Rivers people know their leaders who have their interests at heart, and not opportunists taking advantage of the economic situation to embarrass them.
“Rivers people know who their true leaders are. Not those who presently take advantage of the harsh economic situation to hoodwink and turn them into articles of political and financial merchandise.â€
