Three days to the presidential and National Assembly election, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) yesterday presented flags to its Senate and House of Representatives candidates in Rivers State.
A total of 15 candidates were presented with flags during the party’s campaign rally, which took place at the Elekahia Community Town Hall complex in Port Harcourt City local government area of the state.
Speaking during the event, SDP national chairman, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, thanked Rivers people for their continued support to the party.
Gadam, who was represented by the party’s national vice chairman, South-South, Sir Fred Owutorofa, urged the people to vote massively for the SDP during the March 11, 2023 governorship election in the state.
He said: “I stand here on behalf of the National Chairman of our great party, the Social Democratic Party, Alhaji Shehu Musa Gabam, and on behalf of the National Working Committee of our great party.
“The National Chairman said I should thank you for the wonderful expected support that you have consistently given to our party, the Social Democratic Party and to our candidate, the incoming governor of Rivers State.
“He said I should thank you again because it is your support that will take us to Rivers State Government House by the grace of God on the 11th of March when you will vote the SDP, the galloping white horse.”
In his speech, SDP governorship candidate in the state, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, thanked the national leadership of the party for it’s continuous support to the party in the state.
Abe said: “Everyday you look around you, SDP is expanding. Everyday you look around you, SDP is coming. When they sleep in the night, they see the horse, when they wake up in the morning, they see the horse. It is unstoppable human tornado.
“So, we give thanks to Almighty God. The second thing I will like to say is to thank the National Chairman and the national officers of the Social Democratic Party, Rivers State is their base. They don’t play with Rivers State; they give us every support. They participate in everything that we do here.”
