Ahead of Saturday’s polls, African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has thrown its weight behind the Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi as her preferred candidate.
This was announced by the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Chief Tonte Ibaraye at a press briefing in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
Ibraye said the endorsement follows the directive of the party’s National leadership, who first adopted Obi as the preferred candidate.
According to him, “I believe that Peter Obi is the best candidate for the job, and I am confident that he will serve our country well.
“He has a proven track record of leadership and has demonstrated his commitment to improving the lives of everyday Nigerians.
“He has a clear vision for the future, and I believe he has the skills and experience to make that vision a reality.”
However, Ibraye noted that as proof of his endorsement, he will hand over 5000 polling agents to support his effort on the voting day.
“I would like to announce that I will be giving Mr Obi access to my 5000 polling agents to support his campaign effect. I know that with their help, Mr Obi will be able to reach more voters and spread his message to hope and change across the country” he said.
