Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, the Rivers Accord Governorship candidate, writing on his verified social media handles, captured the inauguration ceremony thus:
With gratitude to God almighty, and in preparation for the Rivers 2023 governorship elections, today, we formally inaugurated the Governorship Campaign Council of Accord.
Although the Campaign Council has been set up before now, its formal inauguration was delayed until today in response to the flood catastrophe which displaced some of our brothers and sisters in Abua/Odual, Ahoada, Egbema and Akuku Toru; many of them of which I personally visited to assess impact and assist with relief items in my own small measure.
I have always believed that we are only as strong as the weakest among us and in our pursuit to build a society that caters for all, we expressed our commitment to using the best of us to work for the rest of us. The inauguration of the campaign council, today, engenders our sole desire to peacefully pursue, within the democratic institutions of our dear state, our collective destiny as a people through the ballots come 2023.
I also wish to use this medium to express my unreserved gratitude to the noble men and women who were appointed into respective roles in the council – our job is cut out for us, but may we find strength in the hopes that have been vested upon us by countless men, women and children who are yearning for a government that will guarantee a better life for all; the members the Press; and the general Rivers public on whose mandate we found the courage to pursue this just cause.
It is also with a deep sense of gratitude that I thank my brothers from the Action Alliance (AA), who declared their support for me today. This gives credence to my unwavering posture as a firm advocate of a politics of camaraderie and brotherliness, a type of politics that does not create irreconcilable differences amongst us as Rivers people.
My fellow Rivers men, women and youths, this is the hour when we must find the courage to rise above the challenges of this present times, and this we can do by voting only that man or woman who has the head and the heart to develop the institutions of our dear state to guarantee prosperity for all.
