Representatives’ Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, as
the governorship candidate of the party.
Amaechi

represents Andoni-Opobo/Nkoro constituency would be able to relate well with
the youths.
He

“In spite of the various challenges experienced by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), we urge our citizens not to relent in
participating in the exercise.
“It
is our hope that the electoral body will do all that is necessary to ensure a
hitch-free exercise in the state and that no eligible voter is denied his card
or registration.
“Through
this participation, we can individually and collectively elect credible men and
women into various positions in the forthcoming 2015 general elections. Your
