Ex-Sahara Energy boss and an All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant in Rivers, Tonye Cole has eventually given reasons he wants to be governor of Rivers State…

“There is an entrenched bitterness in the state and that’s why we need to unite; we need to stand as a people and until we are able to achieve this, otherwise sustainable development will continue to elude us.”

“As an experienced businessman and true Rivers son, I know that our people are desirous to work. They are desirous for peace and unity. “So, I know that if given the enabling atmosphere our unemployed youths would contribute to our economic development.”

“All these good infrastructures that we haven’t had for years, we know that we want them and I believe that once these are in place, investors will be attracted to the state and employment will be guaranteed for youths.”
