- Says PDP’s Congress A sham, PDP will lose us and Rivers State
- PDP… Commends Party Members As Delegates Emerge Across The State
Prince Tonye Princewill has decided to make public his personal perception of what he called ‘the weak attempt’ at a Ward Congress held by the Wike led Rivers State PDP exco.
In a statement today, signed by Wabiye Idoniboye-Obu Personal Assistant on Media and Publicity to Prince Tonye Princewill, resounded Princewill’s commitment to the success and re-election of President Jonathan’s administration, called on the National PDP executives to avoid anything that will distract Mr. President and resolve the Rivers State issue, before it gets out of hand.
“The congress had already been done. The panel had already been settled and the electoral umpire had already been compromised. All their planning was in vain. For them the congress was just an opportunity for the masses to fight and destroy things. They do not care if Rivers people die as long as they win. We do. We care; and that’s why we stayed clear.”
“The Rivers State Wike led PDP Exco, don’t realize we are several steps ahead of them; none of the key aspirants were involved in the congresses. That should be a signal for the party. Our silence will speak louder than our words. In the end, PDP will both sit up and address this sham or they will lose us and loose Rivers state. Nothing is impossible”.
“Our people say the difference between a small snake and a big worm is teeth. Neither Amaechi nor Wike will deliver Rivers state because even the grass will reject them. It’s time to start afresh. It’s time for renewal. And all of their money and more will never change that.” Princewill advised.

Meanwhile, the Chairman Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bro Felix Obuah expressed joy and satisfaction over the peaceful and successful conduct of ward congresses in the 319 wards of the State.
The PDP Chairman also commended party members for peacefully turning out en-masse to vote delegates of their choice during the ward congresses held on Saturday November 1, 2014.
He said the successful and peaceful conduct of the ward congresses has proved the party right that those who were calling for the postponement of the ward congresses are agents of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who are moles in the PDP, acting out the script of their pay master and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
He assures that the PDP would win all elections in Rivers State.
