A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has disclosed his plans to begin a massive grassroot mobilisation for the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima in Rivers.
The former Director-General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), who spoke on recent developments in APC Rivers, said he remained committed to the APC, its leadership and candidates.
He said: “I plan to work with other leaders and stakeholders of the party in Rivers State to start a massive grassroots mobilization program for our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our Vice Presidential candidate, His Excellency, Kashim Shettima.
“I salute other leaders of the party, especially state officers of the party, LGA Leaders, LGA and ward party officers for your sacrifices. I know that, by the grace of God, your labour shall not be in vain.
“Let me reaffirm my total commitment to the party and its leadership; and victory of her candidates. You all know my age long philosophy that we are ‘greater together”.
Proffering solutions to the recent crisis rocking the party following gale of resignations by APC stalwarts, Peterside said it was time to rebuild the APC.
The former governorship candidate, who spoke at the APC stakeholders’ meeting in Port Harcourt said to rebuild the party and restore it to winning ways required that leaders must do things differently in more definite ways.
He said: “Now that it is evidently inevitable that we have lost some of our comrades to other endevours, it is time we pull together to rebuild the party, draw new strength and march towards our desired destination.
“That way, some of our party members who left will see reasons to come back and be part of the redemption mission in the State. It is a fact that the strength and acceptability of our party cannot be measured by temporary setbacks.
