PORT HARCOURT (Sundiata Post) – The Greater Together Campaign Organisation has described the threat by Nyesom Wike, Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Rivers State to make public the financial dealings of All progressives Congress governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside as empty.
This, the organisation noted, is another calculated smear campaign option of the PDP that would fail like the several attempts on Dr. Peterside’s life. “Ordinarily, we would have ignored this spurious threat on our candidate but for the misleading impact it could create on the public; Dr. Peterside in all his public life has acted with integrity and fear of God”, it said.

The organisation disclosed that Dr. Peterside will never employ blackmail as a strategy; emphasising that such threat would not affect or distract its candidate’s plans and commitment towards achieving victory at the April 11th governorship election.
In statement issued in Port Harcourt, the organisation said it fully appreciated the dilemma of the PDP candidate who faces imminent defeat based on political realities on ground.
“Wike is already aware of failure, and he is struggling desperately to wriggle out of it. But this reality should not warrant cheap blackmail, threats and falsehood as a means of survival. One would have expected the PDP candidate to device other ways.
“As an organisation, our actions are guided by the belief that God chooses leaders and not through acts of desperation as demonstrated by Wike and his PDP” saying that “Never in the history of Rivers State was there this level of violence and terror on any political party like the APC has been subjected to”.
The organisation challenged Wike whom they described as acting unsportsmanlike to make good his threat and be mature in his approach to politics by facing issues rather than resorting to cheap
blackmail and falsehood because Rivers people are wiser.
