Hilda Dokubo, a popular Nollywood Actress and Labour Party (LP) candidate for Akuku-Toru/Asari-Toru Federal Constituency seat in Rivers, has expressed optimism that the party will take over the state in 2023.
Dokubo said this on Thursday in Port Harcourt at the party’s stakeholders meeting.
She said that the meeting was aimed at positioning the party for victory in the 2023 general election.
When asked about the insinuations by some individuals that the party lacked a viable structure to win the 2023 election in the state, Dokubo said;
“Individuals are the structures of every political party and we have our teaming supporters here in the state.”
Mr. Etete Ekeneoriono, the party’s candidate for the Andoni State Constituency seat, however, advised youths in rural communities to participate in the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) in order to beat the July 31 deadline.
Ekeneoriono also urged residents of fishing communities in Andoni Local Area (LGA) of the state to utilise their voting power in 2023 for a better Nigeria.
He said that the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) was the most powerful instrument in the country’s electoral system, hence the need to utilize the remaining days to get registered.
“The party has engaged in wide voter sensitization tagged “Get Your PVC” in all parts of the state, especially in rural communities.
“The 2023 election is about the future of youths and our dear country; the only instrument available to us as we work toward rebranding the country is our PVCs,” Ekeneoriono said.
