Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 gubernatorial election in Rivers State, Arc. Tonye Dele Cole, has picked his running mate.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Chris Finebone, State Publicity Secretary of the party made this known in a statement on Friday in Port Harcourt, capital of the State.
According to the statement, Chief Victor Tombari Giadom will serve as the running mate to Cole for the 2019 governorship election in the State.
TNG further reports the APC candidate announced the choice of Chief Giadom while briefing the top hierarchy of the APC in a meeting in Port Harcourt.
Chief Victor Giadom is the incumbent Deputy National Secretary of the APC and a member of the Party’s National Working Committee, NWC.
He was a former Executive Chairman of Gokana Local Government and later served as Commissioner for Works in the Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi administration in Rivers State from 2011 to 2015.
He also served as the Director-General of the Greater Together Governorship Campaign Organisation of APC in 2015.
“The choice of Chief Victor Giadom as my Running Mate was arrived at after a careful and exhaustive consideration of an array of equally notable personalities in the party.
“He came out tops on all considerations especially his unalloyed and untainted loyalty, unrelenting hard work and invaluable experience as a former outstanding local government chairman, former Commissioner for Works, former Governorship Campaign DG and presently a member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of our great party, APC,” Cole stated
With the choice of Chief Giadom, the APC governorship candidate has commenced to assemble, what the party described as a crack dream team for the 2019 governorship election in Rivers State.
