…as your vote is your power
Following the trend of polls result of the presidential election, the River state Deputy Governorship Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Tonto Dikeh, has encouraged the electorates in the State not to sell their votes on March 11th, 2023 as that is their power to elect the right leader for Governor.
Tonto Dikeh who campaigned alongside the governorship candidate of ADC, Chief Tonte Ibraye at Abuloma, Okirika this weekend revealed to the crowd that the ADC has solutions to all their problems which will not just end poverty but bring forth massive development if they elect ADC candidates as governor of River state, given the reason that it is time for the youths to take over the power from the yester years politicians.
Hear her, “Look at my Governor, he is not more than 40. If you look at me I am not even up to 40. It is time for youths to take a stand. If they give you money to sell your votes, how far will it take you?
“We are talking about eight years. How much will your eight years cost? Is the peanut enough to sell your votes. Think about the children, mothers and fathers. It is time. It is our time to shine and we are here to shine. It is a movement of the people.
“It is time when the youths will not beg. Rivers has shown me love. It is ADC time. You have honoured me and in turn, I will pay you back.
“I have come to show you your governor. He is a man of the people. He will make Rivers State great again. I will welcome all of you to the Government House. It will be a government for the youths”.
Ibraye said as a businessman, he had travelled to over 40 countries and would use the experiences he gathered to create required opportunities for the people.
He said: “Your vote is your power. Do not sell it. When you vote for us you vote for the right candidate. Myself and Tonto we have decided to come together with the right policies to transform your lives. We will create many opportunities to give you money to do your business.
“I have travelled up to 40 countries, but I lived a life of poverty. I had lived in Elechi waterside. I sold sachet water and bread. I trekked distances. You see that I understand poverty. Most of them in political offices had done no job before. Their only job had been politics.
“Tonto has been employing people. I have also been employed people. I have gathered many experiences to transform your lives. They are setting up laws to stop us from campaigning.
“They stone us when we go for campaigns. They are scared. I have told my lawyers to take them to court and nullify their laws. We have the right policies to transform your lives”.
