Dr. Dakuku Peterside, governorship candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, APC in Rivers State has charged students in both
post primary and tertiary institutions in the state to be mindful as they vote
on Saturday April 11 as their future depends on the choices they make.
In his goodwill message to Nigerian students ahead of
the governorship election, Peterside commended students across Rivers State for
the support and encouragement he enjoyed all through his campaign period.
“Great Nigerian Students! My name is Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, a former Student Leader. I specially thank you for your support so
far in the journey for the realization of our shared vision of a greater Rivers
State. Please come out on Saturday April 11 and vote for me (APC). Security is
guaranteed”.
He told the students that the only way to reciprocate
Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi's kind gesture towards students and their
parents in the last eight years was to vote for APC.
He added that
apart from encouraging Amaechi and the APC government with their votes, they would
also be securing their future, particularly with regard to supporting
education-friendly government that also promotes students welfare.
“As students in this state, you will agree with me
that we have never had it so good. Today, we can boast of world-class schools
with state-of-the-art facilities, highly motivated teachers and an environment
that is naturally agreeable to learning.
“We have also witnessed compassion as never before
with the payment of bursary and scholarship to students here and abroad. Our
governor does not discriminate, so he has also extended this benevolence to our
non-indigene brothers and sisters.
“This government is also alleviating the suffering of
our less fortunate brothers and sisters with special scholarship for the
physically challenged so that they can attain whatever educational height they
desire. The Amaechi government has also employed young graduates across
disciplines and tribes. How else can we show appreciation? I promise to do more,
so come out and support APC because it is in our interest to do so.
