The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says the unfolding political events in the state and the current influx of the opposition party members and governors on solidarity visits to Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi have vindicated and justified its accusation and petition against the Governor for anti-party activities.
The party came out with this in a statement issued and signed by Jerry Needam, Special Adviser on Media to the State PDP Chairman, Hon Felix Obuah.
According to the statement, it’s no longer hidden that Gov Amaechi has pitched his tent with the opposition where he belongs but only plans to destroy the PDP in Rivers State before leaving finally.
The Media Adviser, Jerry Needam said one clear quality of Gov Amaechi is that he does not leave anybody in the dark as to his moves and plots as proved by the solidarity visits of four Northern Governors on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 and that of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Governors, the Congress for Progressives Change, CPC, Governors and All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Governor, under the umbrella of All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors today Thursday, July 18, 2013 in Port Harcourt.
The Media Adviser notes that while Gov Amaechi thinks he can deceive the people over his suspension by the PDP, he is very busy proving that he no longer belongs to the party, a position, he says is contradictory.
The party however regrets that Rivers State is the loser as Amaechi is no longer attending to state issues and may have decided to waste tax payers’ money in hosting his political fans within and outside the state.
“This is a development unheard of in the political history of any nation where a sitting governor prefers to deny the people their rights for cautioning him. How can we describe this but unfortunate.
We’ll continue to call on Gov Amaechi to please stop wasting the hard earned resources of the innocent Rivers people to enrich his friends and fellow conspirators against the state, the State PDP Media Adviser, Jerry Needam advised.
