Dr. Dawari George, the Action Alliance’s (AA) candidate for governor in Rivers State, and his campaign organization, the Bridge Campaign Organization (BCO), have endorsed Mr. Peter Obi, the LP’s nominee for president, in the election scheduled for February 25.
Thus, they have urged Rivers voters to cast a huge number of votes for Mr. Obi on Saturday.
The decision was made at a meeting that was well-attended and included members of the BCO Campaign Council, Directors, Deputy and Assistant Directors, according to a statement released by the Bridge Campaign Organization on Wednesday in Port Harcourt and personally signed by Dr. Dawari George, the governorship candidate, and Prof. Kiikpoye K. Aaron, the campaign director-general.
The campaign organization stated that numerous factors were considered before making a selection, including the qualifications of the major candidates in the next election and the clarity of each candidate’s intentions for the nation.
“Mr. Peter Obi is characterized as an experienced leader who has proved his ability to generate meaningful change in the lives of Nigerians,” the meeting decided.
“Ethnicity, religion, and power rotation have topped the problems under discussion,” the BCO continued. Regardless of whether we regard ourselves to be logical/rational or emotional/sentimental, these issues have taken up a lot of our mental space. So, any decision we make is influenced by what these issues mean for us.
According to BCO, “For us in Rivers State, these concerns and our idea of equality and justice for our people influence the decision on the path we should take in part.
Power rotation, in our opinion, is a fair and legitimate strategy for ensuring that all regions of our country are represented in decisions about our country’s leadership.
“We also think that because Nigerian culture is multireligious, political inclusion should include people of many religions in a partnership based on mutual trust and shared goals.
“With these factors in mind, choosing someone to support in Saturday’s presidential election for the benefit of Nigeria and Rivers State is less difficult.
Considering the aforementioned concerns, Mr. Peter Obi’s candidacy for president captivates and appeals to us. We therefore support his bid for the presidency of Nigeria in the general election in 2023.
We do not contest the fact that the other candidates have backgrounds. Nonetheless, Mr. Peter Obi stands out as a seasoned leader who has proven his capacity to bring about significant change in Nigerians’ lives.
He significantly advanced infrastructure, healthcare, and education while serving as governor of Anambra State at affordable expenses.
He has a proven track record of prioritizing the needs of the people and clearly explains his plans. Most crucially, he has a balanced running partner who is urbane and humanitarian, checking the equity and justice boxes.
We have a fantastic opportunity to help Mr. Peter Obi as Rivers residents. As a result, we implore you to cast your vote for Mr. Peter Obi in the presidential election.
“Peter Obi is the ideal choice, in our opinion, to guide Nigeria toward a better future. We implore you to support his candidacy alongside us so that we can all fight to make Nigeria a stronger, more wealthy nation.
The Bridge Campaign Organization consequently endorses Dr. Dawari George for governor, Peter Obi for president, and every AA National and State Assembly candidate.
