“Those who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticise.” – Elizabeth Harrison, 1849-1927, Educator.
In every life’s endeavour, it has been noted that those on the sideline of events claim to see clearer than those quite active in the events. A clear instance is the game of football, where spectators and fans dribble better than those on the field of play. Even those with stone feet turn themselves into maverick players as armchair analysts and critics.
Same applies in the political arena with many armchair critics and menopausal political pundits. But given the privilege, they will fumble beyond words can describe. Take a cue from the damaging critics of APC in 2014/2015 prior to their gaining power. They sweet talked many Nigerians into condemning a thriving government and birthed a monstrous government that has diminished humanity in a space of eight years. That is how far criticism and propaganda can take a people only prepared to pull down, but lack capacity to build upward and onward.
Today in Rivers State, we have a man committed to lifting humanity upward and onward through encouragement with the consolidation agenda for a greater Rivers State. That man is Sir Siminalayi Fubara, with indisputable pedigree to lead the people and expand opportunities that will culminate in the prosperity of all.
Indeed, it has been his common character to consistently lift humanity upward and onward, through several empowerment and humanitarian programmes in the past. His agenda is to replicate the effort of making humanity value existence.
Suffices to state that his kind hearted disposition combined with immeasurable grace from above played significant roles in his emergence as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State.
Apparently, he has the leadership prowess as a seasoned technocrat and the political sagacity as a grassroot mobiliser. This justifies why many leaders and stakeholders of the party are very much comfortable with him as the candidate of the party. They trust that he possesses the capacity to ruthlessly decimate and defeat the opposition in the March 11, 2023 governorship election.
We share in that confidence and solicit your support for this enigma to govern Rivers State, so as to lift the people upward and forward. We pray, you join this efforts of forward moving people by voting SIM/Ngozi on March 11, 2023 under the PDP umbrella. As you do so, may victory always be your portion. Thank you for reading me always.
