Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Tonye Cole just arrived Bonny Island, headquarters of Bonny Local Government Area, to a tumultuous welcome.
The massive surging crowd of APC supporters and Tonye Cole enthusiasts besieged the Coal Beach jetty in Bonny as early as 8am awaiting his arrival.
Tonye Cole’s convoy of four speedboats arrived Bonny about 12.05pm. Upon his arrival, it took the efforts of his security details to create space for him alight from the jetty to receive the bouquet of flowers presented to him by a little girl.
The founder and former CEO of Sahara Group is in Bonny in continuation of his ward to ward consultative visits where he is expected to engage party faithful and other stakeholders on a need assessment, the outcome of which will guide his policy thrust when he emerges Governor of Rivers State.
He was accompanied by the Director General of the APC/Tonye Cole campaign Organization, Chidi Lloyd, Senatorial candidate for Rivers West, Asita Asita, former Commissioner for Transport and Leader of the party in Bonny LGA, George Tolofari, House of Representatives candidate for Degema/Bonny federal constituency, Fubara Hart, and House of Assembly candidate for Bonny constituency, Dabota Jumbo, among other party chieftains.
Cole, who was received on arrival by the Director General of the APC campaign council in Bonny LGA, Edward Pepple, immediately proceeded to St. Clement Anglican Church, Bonny for a brief Thanksgiving Service.
