For some time now, the grapevine has been awash with reactions, comments, views and scepticism of what the former AC governorship candidate in 2007, Prince Tonye Princewill wants in Rivers State politics, given his past and present actions which some school of thought feel to be a political Launch pad to market himself prior to the 2015 Governorship election . Some analysts argue that his various billboards with different inscriptions which adorn strategic spots in the state capital as well as his philanthropic works are signs that point to his intention to contest for the 2015 gubernatorial seat. But what does Prince Tonye Princewill, the only scion of the kalabari king make of this?
Responding on what he has about 2015 and what he wants in Rivers State, he answered that 2015 is too far away, to start thinking about it, as according to him for the time being there is a lot to focus on, and when time comes he would make his intention known because he is not the type of politician who puts hand on the plough and start to look back, asserting that "2015 will take care of itself. I am not ruling anything in or out", said Princewill, while appealing to all to focus on what Rivers State government wants to achieve.
On the question on what he wants, this was his reponse: I want to see good roads, hospitals, schools, security etc. I want to see Rivers State move forward and the money for the state to work for the state". He explained that the goals and aims of what Princewill's Political Associates intends to achieve is to create political consciousness in the apolitical, make members know politics beyond the superficial and be people-oriented as well as build army of people who will question, criticize constructively the policies and programmes of the government of the day.
