2019: West declares for Brick House under PDP

…Says it’s time for riverine gov
Barely 24 hours after Rivers State Governor, Chief (Barr) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike declared that he will be running for a second term in office in 2019, another aspirant, Soalabo West has also announced his willingness to contest for the governorship ticket on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

West, a maritime lawyer of the Kalabari ethnic extraction says his willingness to vie for the 2019 governorship election on the platform of the PDP “is anchored on a new paradigm to make Rivers State great again.”

He stated that the circumstances that threw up Wike in 2015 have been actualised with his emergence as governor under the aegis of the PDP, and it is now the turn of riverine communities to produce the governor of Rivers State in 2019.
