Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and his Ebonyi State counterpart,
Dave Umahi have declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will
reclaim power from the All Progressive Congress (APC) come 2019.
Governor
Wike expressed the optimism in Port Harcourt yesterday, while
addressing delegates at the PDP State Congress,
held at the Obi Wali Cultural Centre, Port Harcourt.
He
said: “The PDP will return to the seat of power at
the Federal level by 2019. This congress is part of the process
of repositioning the party.”
The
governor said his administration had lived up to
the expectations of the people, in the area of execution of
pro-people projects and programmes.
“This
administration will showcase our superlative performance in the last
one year, between May 23 and May 29.
The people will know first-hand, the quality projects we
have executed,” he said.
Speaking
in the same vein, Governor Umahi of Ebonyi State reiterated that PDP is
undergoing restructuring that would enable it recapture power at the centre in
the 2019 general elections even as he said the state government would inject
N3billion into the state’s economy in the months of May and June to boost job
creation.
“Between
May and June, we will be injecting about N3 billion into the system for people
to benefit from job opportunities, especially the youths and women”.
