- opts for peace.
After a marathon meeting of the expanded Princewill campaign team where we sat to analyze the just concluded 2015 general elections, the organisation critically looked at four possible options before our team
The options were:
1. Go to court to challenge the just concluded gubernatorial election,
2. Align with the PDP and help Wike improve Rivers State,
3. Align with APC and fight this injustice,
or
4. Stand alone, don’t go to court, but remain available to help both the state and the country move forward.
The house took into deep consideration, the realities on the ground, the welfare of Rivers people and most importantly, the opinions of the general public, who we had engaged via various media & fora over the past few days.
Our decision is outlined below.
Decision
It is no longer in doubt that the election in Rivers state was neither free nor fair nor credible. Rather than the jubilation of a victory or the recriminations of a defeat, I and my team prefer to keep searching for peace. The bloodshed is simply too much and the thirst for even more appears palpable. Who will be left for us to lead? How much more of this can we take?
After careful consideration therefore, I and my political associates have decided, not to align with either of the other two political parties but to stand with Rivers people for the sake of peace and long term prosperity. We see the two of them as birds of the same feather, fruits of the same tree and two sides of the same coin so rather than add fuel to their fire, we opt to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. We are going for Option 4
God bless you
God bless Rivers state
God bless Nigeria
