Abua (Rivers)- Dr Dakuku Peterside, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers, said his administration would pursue peace in communities if elected.

He said his administration would be committed to the restoration of peace and that he was in the area for his governorship rally.
“One of our cardinal programmes, if we are elected in February, is we will pursue peace in our communities.
‘’Nobody can talk of peace if you don’t look at the foundation that promotes peace; that is justice,’’ he said.

‘’ Where there is no peace, if you like, construct the best road there, put the best electricity there; there will be no peace there.
‘’Your Majesty, we will need your support and partnership as we pursue peace in Rivers,’’ he said.
