Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike declared total faith in the willingness of the electorate in the State to vote candidates, including the preferred presidential candidate, as agreed in the 25th February 2023 general election.

Speaking yesterday at Ogbo/ Ukordu junction in Ahoada East Local Government Area, venue of the flag-off of phase two of Ahoada-Omoku Road, governor Wike said voters in Ahoada communities have already been instructed on what to do on Saturday. The road project will connect communities in Ahoada East Local government area to those in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area (ONELGA) of the State.

The governor urged the people to go and ensure that their permanent voters cards are handy, which they should use to “pepper” their political opponents. “I am sure you must have brought out your PVC and kept it very well so that nobody will say my PVC is missing. Go now and put it under your pillow. “By 6:30 in the morning on Saturday make sure you’re in your various polling units and use your PVC and pepper them. Help us and use your PVC to pepper those wicked people,” Wike said.
