PRESIDENT JONATHAN IS INTERESTED IN WHAT HAPPENS IN RIVERS STATE. HE IS OUR BROTHER.

- CHIEF BARR DUMO LULU BRIGGS

Chief Barr. Dumo Lulu Briggs is one of the front runner Guber aspirants in the PDP in Rivers state. He was among the 16 riverine aspirants that called on the party’s national exco to cancel the ward congresses conducted by the party two weeks ago which was boycotted by the other aspirants due to perceived irregularities in the preparations . He spoke to political reporters following the cancellation of the ward congresses and other issues in the state

“ I must congratulate the national exco of our great party, the PDP, for having the boldness to do the right thing. It took a lot of courage but then, i have always known that our party, the PDP, will do the right thing. PDP has a great internal democracy mechanism that has always helped us to resolve issues; that is the strength of our party.

From the onset the majority of Rivers people were against the ward congresses because we felt a lot of things had not been put in place and it was therefore like putting the cart before the horse to have a ward congress when a party register was not in place. But certain persons felt they had the powers to go ahead despite our protest and today, the congresses have been cancelled. Thos e ward congresses were a sham.

And also don’t forget the President though he does not make public pronouncements on such issues is our brother. Rivers State is very dear to him and he will always want the best for the state. Therefore i know he will resist anything that will derail his support base in the state”.
