The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Mr. Dakuku Peterside, has promised to build on the achievements of the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, if he wins the 2015 election.

Explaining that he will run an inclusive government where every indigene of the state will have a role to play in the development of the state, Peterside added that his administration would place emphasis on equity, justice and fairness.

Peterside, who made this pledge on Thursday at the state APC secretariat in Port Harcourt, when he led thousands of party supporters to pick his nomination form, said his administrations door would be open to everybody.

The member of the House of Representatives representing Andoni/Opobo/Nkoro Federal Constituency, added that he would build on the solid foundation laid by the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi.

Explaining that he will continue to rely on God to develop the state, Peterside pointed out that his campaign organisation would soon unveil the road to the prosperity of the state.

Only God can make a leader. I will build on the solid foundation laid by Governor Amaechi. I will continue to rely on God. I do not depend on my strength or ability. I will ensure unity in Rivers state. All Rivers people will have roles to play in my administration. Our doors are wide open.

APC in Rivers State cannot be in reverse gear. We will place emphasis on equity, justice and fairness. We will ensure an inclusive government. Everybody will be carried along. I am an Ijaw, but I will be the governor of Rivers State. We can together build a greater Rivers State.

Rivers peoples support for me is overwhelming. I really appreciate the outpouring of love. I thank all Rivers people. I will not disappoint you, he said.

On the protest against his emergence as the partys flagbearer ahead of the governorship election in the state, Peterside described the protesters as members of other political parties, whose aim was to cause confusion.

The governorship candidate described Ogoni people as hospitable and insisted that the opposition parties sponsored the protest at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
