The Rivers state chapter of people Democratic Party has expressed dismay over some misguided element in the state to open a parallel secretariat party in the state, describing such as an action that portrays the lawless disposition of neophytes in politics.
Addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, prince Ibibia Walter, the state secretary PDP said, the constitution of the People Democratic Party does not recognized the acronym ‘new NPDP or NPD’ including the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria as that the registration certificate of the People Democratic Party dated Monday 21st December, 1998 which was given pursuant to the independent national electoral commission established decree 17 of 1998 also attested to the fact and therefore the mere a faction of PDP is illegal.
According to Walter the affront and insipidity of Governor Chibuike Amaechi got a high once again yesterday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital, for the umpteenth time, Gov. Amaechi displayed his flagrant dishonor and utmost disrespect to the person and offices of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
Walter who was apparently disturbed about the crisis that have engulfed the leadership Rivers state chapter of the People Democratic Party, said it is a public knowledge that President Goodluck Jonathan and commander-in- chief was travelling to Bayelsa state en route Port Harcourt on Thursday 12th, September, 2013, the same day was chosen by the belligerent and malcontent Gov. Amaechi and his cohorts to show case again, their now pervasive cantankerous disposition as they chose to open the ‘New PDP’ office in Port Harcourt.
Walter also said that the action taken by the Rivers state governor can be described as illegal, ill-conceived and wrongly timely.
Walter was furious about the scenario that was played out said it is an action that exhibits contemptuousness and therefore insists that these contemnors should be brought to book.
“It is disheartening to observe that a Governor who some minutes ago were at the International Airport to receive Mr. President will suddenly accuse the same president of ordering the police to block the entrance to the Rivers state Government House.” He said this statement is no doubt made to attract public sympathy.
However, Walter who spoke emphatically recalled that in 2009 when a similar action was to be carried out, the same Governor ordered for the arrest of the perpetrators and charged them for cultism and illegal assemblage.
Finally he called on the security agencies to arrest and prosecutes all those that are involved in this unholy and intolerable show of disdain to serve as deterrent to other denigrates in their fold.
