As jubilations continue to reverberate through the length and breadth of Rivers State following the declaration of Governor Nyesom Wike as winner of the March 9, 2019 gubernatorial election in the state, the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Felix Obuah, has joined the train of well-wishers to congratulate the re-elected governor on his well-deserved and landslide victory.
Obuah, while speaking shortly after the declaration, said the victory had once more put paid to any doubt over God’s infallibility, especially to those who put absolute trust in Him.
The State PDP Chairman said the victory was not just for Governor Wike and the PDP, but for all lovers of true democracy as well as the good people of Rivers State, even as he described it as a litmus test for the nation’s democracy.
While dedicating the victory to God and the ever-conscientious people of the State, Obuah further described the victory as unprecedented in the annals of the State, as according to him, it could only take God’s intervention to survive the gang-up and the evil conspiracy by those he described as enemies of the State.
“This victory has gone to show that our God is a miracle worker. God has clearly shown that the fervent and heartfelt prayers being offered by Rivers people on daily basis are not in vain. Truly, he has disappointed all the counsel of Ahithophel including all those who arrogate the place of God to themselves,” Obuah said.
The PDP Chairman said the re-election of Governor Wike should serve as a lesson and reminder to all political office holders not to take the people to whom absolute power belongs for granted and ensure at all times that people-oriented programmes at the grassroots are paramount to bring about the much-desired social and economic development.
“Knowing that ‘Mr. Projects’ is ever magnanimous in victory, I urge all Rivers people, including those candidates who lost out in the election, to cooperate and work in harmony with Governor Wike so as to hasten the development of our dear State,” Obuah said.
The State PDP boss also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Ubo Effanga, security agencies and all those who ensured that peace and orderliness prevailed during the collation and announcement of the historic election results.
