Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Full of vibrancy and oratorical prowess, Prince Tonye Princewill has done it again. For those who were not informed, he is the Action Congress (AC) guber candidate in Rivers State, in the April 2007 elections; although victory did not come his way in that election, but he has been victorious fighting like a ram that locked horn in a battle. The fight is not about militancy, carrying arms against the citizenry, but to better the lots of Rivers people and Nigerians.

Recently, precisely on the 3rd March 2008, were when Rivers AC pertinently demonstrated its seriousness and determination to make an impact in the March, 2008 Rivers LG poll, and proved critics wrong. Prince Tonye Princewill flew in from Europe, where had had been for the past one month, not for a tea party, but scouting for investors, for Rivers State.

His flying in was not for a tea party also, but duty oriented. He was in the country to perform three crucial party functions. According to a source from AC, Princewill’s homecoming were to receive hundreds of politicians that decamped from other political parties in the State; to inaugurate four special Committees expected to work assiduously to achieve the sixteen Local Government Councils target expected to be won by AC in this year’s LG Poll in Rivers State and to receive six reports on the prospects, problems and strategies to move the party and Rivers State forward.

While observers of Rivers politics watched with great enthusiasm, history was made at Buguma City the Headquarters of Asari-Tolu Local Government on 8th March when it hosted the crowned Prince of the Kalabari ancient Kingdom, Prince Tonye Princewill and some prominent chieftains of AC from the area. They include Chief Diamond Tobi-West, Bar Osima Ginah AC’s Legal luminary and a Hon. Commissioner nominee in Rivers State, Mr. Amoniabia Akoko the LG Chairman and AC chairmanship aspirant of Asari-Tolu, Mr. Ted Princewill to flag-off the party’s State wide Campaign for March, 2008 Local Government in Rivers State.

Not only was Prince Tonye Princewill in the community with AC henchmen, he stormed the community with his delegates that comprised Chief Williams Igwe, Mr Okis Bob-Manuel, Dr Mrs. Welle Edith among others. Their arrival was by 9am, and his programs started first with visits to project sites (of the projects) being executed by the Amaechi’s administration. The programmes were aimed at alleviating the suffering of the community particularly those geared at reclaiming the lost land of the community to swampy nature of the area.

At the community’s town square, Princewill, after addressing a mammoth crowd made up of supporters across political party divides, formally presented Mr. Ted Princewill to the community as its next Chairman for the Local Government Council with the 13 wards Councillorship aspirants of the party. He listed out most of the immediate intervention the AC administration in the area will be embarked within the first one year of governance – collaborating with the relevant authorities to link up the Local Government Area to the National grid; arrest unemployment state of the area by attracting both local and foreign investors to the area to make the community one of the most developed in the State.

With all these, Princewill admonished the community to vote in only AC Candidates to be assured of the development of the area as any vote for PDP or any other political party in the area will be a waste as most of these parties candidates have no proper manifesto to develop the area like AC. Princewill concluded his address by urging Prof Nimi Briggs led RSIEC to strictly follow its guidelines and appeal against the court rule in favour of PDP that directs the Commission to screen PDP aspirants against the normal ethics and norms as contained in the 2007 Electoral laws of the Commission. According to Chief Eze C. Eze, AC Publicity Secretary, “With this privileged information it was celebration galore for all the AC’s aspirant as the campaign was turned into a carnival and celebration of freedom showing the general acceptance of the party candidates in the community.”

Chief Diamond Tobi-West who also addressed the crowd. He assured the Princewill the general support of the community towards all the AC’s aspirants at least to demonstrate that Asari-Tolu is the birthplace of AC in Rivers State considering that Princewill is a crowned Prince. Mr. Ted Princewill the AC chairmanship aspirant thanked the Prince Princewill and assured him that he has the wherewithal to deliver the LG to the party, with a minimum support and encouragement he surely will do his best to take the Local Government to the next level.

To show his seriousness in winning the LG, Prince Princewill, in cohort of most key officials and all the aspirants of the Local Government paid courtesy calls on the Amanyanabo of Kalabari kingdom, HRM Prof TJT Princewill; Chief Senator Dagoga Princewill and other stake-holders in the community to formally present the aspirants to them and solicited for their support and blessings for the aspirants which thy willingly give emphasizing that the community does not recognize any other political party in the area.
