A former Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly has called on residents of the state to remain steadfast in their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the local government elections draw closer.
The ex-Speaker, while addressing party faithful in Port Harcourt on Saturday, stressed that the APC remains committed to providing credible leadership and urged voters not to lose confidence in the party despite recent political tensions in the state.
He noted that the forthcoming polls represent an opportunity for the APC to strengthen its grassroots presence and demonstrate its readiness to deliver on promises made to the people. According to him, the party is working to field credible candidates who will prioritize development at the local government level.
The former lawmaker also appealed to party members to remain united and avoid internal wrangling that could weaken the APC’s chances at the polls. He maintained that the strength of the party lies in its ability to mobilize voters through transparency, accountability, and service-oriented leadership.
He further encouraged Rivers residents to look beyond political distractions and focus on the future of the state, emphasizing that the APC is prepared to provide the kind of leadership that will restore confidence in governance at the local level.
