PORT HARCOURT— Governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress,  APC,  Dr Dakuku Peterside, has assured the people of Ikwerre ethnic group that he will not disappoint them if elected  as governor of the state.

Peterside gave the assurance, yesterday, during his campaign at Ogbakiri, Emohua Local Government Area.

He said:  “On the issue of governorship, you know that I am running. The Supreme Council of Ikwerre Traditional Rulers brought me out. They came together at Isiokpo and said for the image of Ikwerre, they will not allow the selfishness of one Ikwerre man to destroy their image.

“They commissioned me to go and represent them. After eight years, will it be fair for Ikwerre to be governor again. I promise you, for this kind gesture from the Supreme Council of Ikwerre Traditional Rulers, and our leader, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, I cannot disappoint Ikwerre people.”

Peterside told the Supreme Council of Ikwerre Traditional Rulers that he will be fair to all.
