All Progressives Congress, APC leadership in Rivers State has declared seven days fasting and prayers for all members of the party, for the success of the proposed adoption of the Minister for Education Chief Nyesom Wike as Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship election
The party made the declaration in a press release signed by its publicity secretary Chhukwuemeka Eze, and made available to journalists, boasting that the choice of Chief Nyesom Wike by PDP would give it minimal stress to win the governorship election
“We have read with profound gratitude reports of the adoption by the leadership of the opposition PDP in Rivers State, of Chief Nyesome Wike, the Supervising Minister of Education, as the party’s candidate for the 2015 gubernatorial election in the State. We are aware of the opposition of some camps in the disunited party to the choice of Wike and it is our prayer for these dissenters to sheathe their sword and support Wike’s candidature.”
APC appealed to dissidents in PDP to support Chif Wike’s candidature as such effort would really help APC to save Rivers State from what it described as diabolical influence of PDP come 2015. “To ensure the emergence of Chief Nyesome Wike as the PDP flag-bearer that will formally dismantle and bury PDP as a political party in Rivers State”.
The release also stated that the fasting and prayer programme would commence on March,25 2014 and end on April, 1 2014 at the APC State Secretariat, old GRA Port Harcourt, during the normal period of the weekly prayer and thanksgiving of APC.
Accordingly, Women. Evangelist Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya the Interim State Chairman of APC, Evangelist Mrs. Carol Nagbo the APC State Women Leader and other great men and women of God were expected to conduct the end of the fasting event.
According to Evangelist Nagbo, “APC is a miracle party whose mission is to dismantle every element of evil and undemocratic act as represented by PDP from the psyche of our nation and Rivers State in particular”.
“We should not forget so soon that PDP is a party whose hatred for Rivers State is legendary and anything that is lawful and spiritual to stop such an undemocratic party from Brick House is an effort in the right direction and allowing an unsellable candidate like Chief Wike as the party’s flag-bearer is one of the ploys we will exploit as a party to achieve this. PDP has ensured that the State’s funds dwindle by ceding our Soku oil wells to Bayelsa and others to Abia State”, she added.
