THE governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State during the 2015 general elections, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, on Thursday said the Peoples Democratic Party in the state would suffer “a political tsunami” in the next 31 days.

Peterside, who made a veiled reference to his case against the election of the state Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, told his supporters to get ready for a rerun of the governorship poll in the state.



The APC governorship candidate in the general elections spoke at the state party secretariat during the celebration of his birthday and that of Mr. Honorable Asita, his running mate in the 2015 governorship election.

Peterside pointed out that the days of manipulation of election results were over, maintaining that the people of the state would vote according to their conscience.

Both Peterside and Asita share the same birthday (December 31).

Explaining that he was humbled by the crowd that came to congratulate him and Asita on their birthday, Peterside added that the APC in the state was not afraid of any rerun.

He said, “I am telling you today that we will reclaim our stolen mandate. Believe me, in the next 31 days, a tsunami will visit the Rivers State PDP.

“We are not afraid if there is a rerun today in Rivers State. We look out for the best; we will look out for change in infrastructure development and change in empowerment.

“If you put the candidates of the major political parties and their manifestos side by side, definitely the people will go for a man of character, a reliable candidate that can realise the dream of our founding fathers.

“People will also look out for the make-up of our team; we do not have a team that is populated by militants and killers. The electorate will go for a team that has people with good character, a team that can make Rivers people to be a stakeholder in the governance of the state.”

Peterside later received over 120 defectors from the PDP led by a former governorship aspirant, Bekinbo Soberikon, and urged them to tell their friends to join the APC’s moving train.

Reacting, the state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Samuel Nwanosike, said the people of the state would not allow the set of people that brought Rivers to its knees economically back in power.

Nwanosike described Peterside’s claim that a political tsunami would soon hit the PDP as an indication that the APC governorship candidate in the 2015 governorship election was only trying the will of the people, adding that he (Peterside) and his cohorts would be disappointed.
