A frontline politician and former governorship candidate of Action Congress in Rivers State , Prince Tonye Princewill, has advised electorate in Rivers State to vote for the personalities contesting the March governorship election, and not the political party they belong to.
In a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, he said the new order in the Nigeria politics is to look at the candidate being presented by a political party and not the party.
He called on Rivers electorates not to be deceived by political party sentiment, but look at the quality and personality of candidates being presented and vote wisely.
He said “Let me repeat what I have said at several fora, this particular election is not about party, It is about the candidates. Even your INEC doesn’t see parties. It’s about money. Today the leadership might have helped APC. Tomorrow the same leadership will help PDP. The common factor between today and tomorrow remains Money”
“Those who joined forces to abuse APC are the same people who have done the unthinkable for the same APC, To protect their interest, not to protect yours. So let’s put party to one side. On Saturday, we are not voting for party, we are voting for candidates. And there are only two candidates when it comes to means and methods. Sim Fubara and the rest.
“My advice for the Presidential election is now repeating itself at the state level. Here the Labour Party, the APC and others are all taking votes from each other, while PDP is focused on their plan to do what they usually do. If you let them, do not blame me. As our people say, “Head wey no wan think go carry load.
“Whoever wins, I, Prince Tonye Princewill will be fine. My concern is about you, your family, your siblings, your parents, your children, your friends and associates. Will they be fine?”.
