A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Barr. Dumo Lulu Briggs said he have not withdrawn from the governorship race contrary to the insinuations in some political circles within the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that he has conceded and withdrawn from the 2019 governorship race.
Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs in a press release in Port Harcourt stated emphatically and unequivocally that it is completely false that he have withdrawn from the governorship race.
"For the avoidance of doubt, I Dumo Lulu-Briggs, am still in the race and fully prepared, ready, willing and able to seek the office of governor of Rivers State in 2019 under the APC. My ambition was not spontaneous but borne out of long held vision spanning over a decade for the overall progress and development of Rivers State"
Dumo said the leader of the party, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi only expressed support for his preferred aspirant and has not “appointed” any governorship candidate because the party has its constitutional procedures and processes for deciding who flies the flag of the party in any election.
I am committed to taking full opportunities of our party’s guidelines to achieve my aspiration, he added.
He called on Rivers people to discountenance these unfounded rumours about his purported withdrawal from the 2019 Rivers State governorship race.
