Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bro Felix Obuah, says “despite the obvious gang-up against the party, Governor Nyesom Wike and the State lawmakers by the enemies of progress, there is no cause for alarm.”

His soothing words came on the heels of a string of judicial losses suffered by Rivers PDP in the past three days, namely, the annulment of the election of Wike’s election and that of 21 state lawmakers, as well as the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant Wike’s prayers to stop the work of the State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal for sitting outside Rivers State.

Bro Obuah in a statement issued this afternoon in Port Harcourt urged all members of the party and Rivers people to remain resolute, assuring that Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the party and all the PDP lawmakers would be victorious at the end of the day.

“The party is halfway through what seemingly were challenges orchestrated by enemies of the state because of our resources which they want to continue to loot to develop their own states, leaving Rivers people and the state in a state of underdevelopment and disrepair as witnessed under Mr Rotimi Amaechi administration,” Obuah said in the statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam.

“But we can now see light at the end of the tunnel and are therefore not perturbed. We are sure of victory,” he declared.

The State PDP Chairman assured that Rivers resources would be used to develop the state, as opposed to what obtained in he past, reaffirming the commitment of Governor Nyesom Wike to put smiles back on the faces of Rivers people.
