Beatrice Itubo, the Labour Party (LP) candidate for the March 11 governorship election in Rivers State, has expressed confidence in her chances of winning.
The LP candidate stated that she is certain of defeating the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Siminalayi Fubara, who is Governor Nyesom Wike’s choice.
According to her, the people of the state are tired of normal politicians and huge parties gaining power and then forgetting about the people who elected them.

She stated that the people of Rivers State would support justice, fairness, and equity, just as they did during the presidential elections.
According to news sources, she made the statement when speaking on Channel 4’s political program on Sunday night.
“Labour Party is the party that represents equity, fairness, justice and fair play to all.
“We are so tired of these old politicians in these big parties recycling themselves over the years and we have not seen any change.
“So, we have come now as Rivers people to identify with the Labour Party because we have a new breed of people that are coming up with new ideas to think out of the box to see how we can bring Rivers State and put it in the right place in the map of Nigeria.

“Though we have not held political offices, we have held other offices where we have excelled and Rivers people have confidence in us to lead the state. So, we are optimistic.
“What happened on the 25th of March will replicate itself on the 11th [of March] because Labour Party won overwhelmingly. We had more than 85 percent of the votes cast,” she said.
Itubo went on to depict herself as the Rivers people’s savior, similar to the historical Deborah who saved Israel. She went on to say that women have distinct roles in God’s designs.
“A woman has never ruled River State all this while and this is the right time. Even in the bible, when things become so difficult, God always uses women to come to the rescue.

“So this time, I am seeing myself as the Deborah of our time that God wants to use to rescue Rivers State from the tyranny, from the misrule, from everything that represents undemocratic processes,” she said.
Itubo further promised that the LP would retrieve its “stolen” mandate in the presidential and National Assembly elections.
