The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the only way to prevent a reoccurrence of the act of barbarism exhibited on the floor of the State House of Assembly, Tuesday, July 9, 2013 is to ensure that all those involved and implicated in the attempted murder on Hon Michael Chinda, member representing Obio/Akpor State Constituency II are brought to book.
The State PDP leadership is therefore calling for the immediate investigation of Gov Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi’s role in the saga, the immediate arrest and prosecution of Chidi Lloyd, Gov Amaechi’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) and his ADC for carrying out the despicable act to impress their paymaster.
Lamenting the degenerating condition of the bullied lawmaker, the State PDP leadership through a statement signed by its Special Adviser on Media, Jerry Needam said not even in the worst democracies of the world can a lawmaker willfully premeditate and position to hack a fellow lawmaker to death as Chidi Lloyd did.
The PDP Media Adviser, Jerry Needam regrets that up to now, neither Governor Amaechi nor Chidi Lloyd and his fellow blood thirsty accomplices have been invited for explanation by the relevant security agencies over the attempted murder.
Jerry Needam noted that perhaps, Chidi Lloyd never realized that parliamentary immunity from prosecution over speeches on the floor of the House does not guarantee a deliberate attempt to kill or cause bodily harm on his colleagues or any other person within the Assembly Complex.
“It’s therefore our position that this attempted murder by Chidi Lloyd and Gov Amaechi’s  personal aides must be thoroughly investigated and appropriate sanctions given if the very basic essence of legislative business in a democracy is not to be undermined. This is deplorable, unfashionable, barbaric and outdated and must not be treated with kids gloves”, the PDP insists.
