hence he is mobilizing all the politicians and chiefs in the two local government
to convince their people to vote enmasse for the PDP candidate, Aguariavwodo

with them to vote for Ede Dafinone of the DPP. This we gathered has given the
governor sleepless nights as this election will determines PDP victory or loses
in the 2015 gubernatorial at the election.

The election for tomorrow will be the hardest
election ever witnessed in the district as all the candidates are credible. Some
of the political figures who spoke to us however gave the day to the PDP
candidate, whom they stated has proven himself when he was a House of
Representatives member as well as Managing Director of the Niger Delta
Development Commission (NDDC). They also attributed his road to victory in his
humble nature, an attribute which the candidate of the DPP and APC lacks.
