PORT HAR-COURT— Rivers State governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC,  in the April poll, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has dismissed speculations that he was down with stroke. Peterside, who spoke to Vanguard during his media briefing, yesterday in Port Harcourt, called on his supporters to dismiss such rumour coming from political opponents.

“At least, you can confirm from seeing me now that I am not suffering from any stroke,” he said. Peterside told newsmen earlier that his party will challenge some of the actions of the state government on the dissolution of the elected local government councils by the court among others.

He alleged that Governor Nyesom Wike was using local contractors to carry out his operation zero pot holes after he had announced that he was going to engage Julius Berger and CCECC for the rehabilitation work.

Decrying the state of insecurity in the state, Peterside alleged that six weeks after Wike assumed office, he had not been able to come up with a blue print on how to govern the state.
