PORT HARCOURT (Sundiata Post) – Hon. Andrew Uchendu, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Public Service Matters and Rivers East Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described Dr. Dakuku Peterside, the APC governorship candidate in Rivers State as the voice, the hope and the future of Rivers people.
Uchendu, who was at the flag-off of APC state campaign in Omuma Local Government Area of the state, said the people of Rivers State could not have asked for a better candidate. Peterside, he maintained, has quality education, experience, the right personality, courage, youth and everything it takes to lead Rivers State to its next stage of development. He therefore charged the people of the state to be more circumspect in deciding who governs them as their vote would determine their hope and their future.
“In Rivers State today, Dakuku Peterside and his team will represent your hope, your voice and your future. These candidates are operating under the banner of the APC and we know that they stand for good representation.

“Let me inform you that my younger brother on the other side went to Isiokpo and made some remarks about me and I think this is a veritable platform to reply him appropriately. And I want to be quoted based on what he said.
“He asked me to pass this message to the people of Omuma and the entire Rivers State people that his party, if voted into power will not have time for all the poor people in Rivers State. At Isiokpo, instead of telling the people what he would do for them if he became governor, he started calling me a poor man.
“If I am from a poor home and I have walked my way up to the National Assembly, and aspiring to the Senate, does that not give you hope? This hope is represented by APC and Peterside is our candidate. So vote for hope.
Uchendu said the Supreme Council of Ikwerre Traditional Rulers have already shown the way by concensus endorsement of Dr Peterside as the sole candidate of Ikwerre traditional institution.
Uchendu therefore called on Rivers people to reject the Peoples Democratic Party PDP and their candidates because there is no hope in the ruling party.
