Dumo Lulu-Briggs, as he arrived from Abuja to formally meet his people and tell them in person, that he had finally answered their call and accepted their request and appeal, to contest in the race to become their governor come 2019.
It was a spectacular sight to behold. Volunteers moved by their love for this man, welcomed him with pomp, glamour and joyful celebration. Different ethnic groups in the Rivers family, decked out in their colourful traditional attires and resplendent in their cultural glory, turned out enmasse to show their solidarity and limitless, honest, unconditional support for Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs.
Addressing the mammoth crowd of supporters and APC faithful who had joined him in a peaceful and carnival like rally through some major streets in Port Harcourt all the way the his campaign headquarters, popularly known as 'Liberation Home', Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs urged them to believe in their dreams and hold it firm, even as he encouraged them to keep working on their dreams because nothing good comes easy.
In his words, "With the gift of my innocence, I tell you that ever so often, that which ought to be, never comes for free; You will have to work for it. If the mountain was smooth, you couldn't climb. Even when God promised us Canaan, He had to take us through the wilderness. I can tell you that we are not against someone, we are for something. We are for an ideal, an idea whose time has come. That you must begin to matter; that government must be about you and your aspirations, and that you must be allowed to pursue those aspirations. And that the minimum that society must do is to encourage you to pursue those aspirations. We have had no varieties in our lives, just the vanities of our leaders that we have had to endure and we say never again!
"What you need is your potential. The opportunities you get, will no longer be by who you know, but by who you are. Our party, the APC stands for change and that means that old things are passed away; and the new thing is opportunity for all; and that if you have an aspiration, have the courage to see it through. You have to believe in yourself for others to believe in you. If it is about you, then we must see it to a logical conclusion. If it is about jobs, about your education, about your healthcare, we cannot give up on you. It will not be easy, but we cannot give up at the first, second, third or even fourth defeat. We have to fight until that thing which belongs to you, gets to you," he rallied the crowd.
Quoting late Mohammed Ali, the world's famous boxer, Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs said: "Impossible is just a dare. Impossible is a big word thrown around by small men who find it okay to live in the world that they have been given, rather than explore what you have to change that world. Impossible is nothing!", he encouraged his supporters, urging them to continue to believe and keep hope alive.
He then informed them of the forthcoming APC primaries and also charged them to register as APC members in their different wards so that they can cast their votes in the primaries and while urging them to spread the word to their homes and communities and to tell everyone that their time has come, Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, also thanked them profusely for their support and loyalty and promised never to give up on them.
"I have entered into a covenant with God to work for the small man, the small woman and the child on the streets and the voiceless people who live in the shadows of life. My aspiration to become the governor of Rivers state is all about you and I promise you that I will never give up on you or forget you," he assured them wholeheartedly.
