The governorship candidate of Action Alliance in Rivers State, Dawari George, has directed his supporters and party agents to vote for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi in Saturday’s polls.
George, a former member of the national House of Representatives announced his decision in a press statement on Wednesday.
In the statement, the guber hopeful noted that issues such as ethnicity, religion, and power rotation have been at the forefront of the election campaigns while emphasizing the importance of equity and justice for all Nigerians in determining the country’s leadership.
According to him, “Against the backdrop of these considerations, deciding who to support in Saturday’s Presidential Election, in the best interest of Nigeria and Rivers State becomes less ponderous,” George said. “Having regard to the issues above, we are irresistibly and attractively drawn to Mr. Peter Obi for President. Consequently, we are endorsing his candidacy for President in the 2023 Nigerian General Election!
“We strongly believe that Peter Obi is the right candidate to lead Nigeria to a brighter future,” he said. “We urge you to join us in supporting his candidacy, and let us work together to build a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.”
Also toeing the line of the AA candidate is the Bridge Campaign Organization, which has also officially endorsed Obi for President.
