PDP blames Amaechi’s inconsistencies on nervous breakdown

Rotimi Amaechi

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Rivers State Chapter has again expressed disappointment at Governor Chibuike Amaechi’s continued nervous breakdown that may be responsible for his seemingly cherished insults and embarrassments to the party and Rivers people, not even sparing our highly revered elder statesmen and national heroes dead or alive.

 

This neurotic desire to insult, the party notes accounts for all Gov Amaechi’s gutter languages, slips, boosting and actions without thinking he has come to be known for.

 

Substantiating this unbecoming attitude of a state chief executive, the PDP in a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media to the State Party Chair, Jerry Needam drew attention to the many uncomplimentary and hyperbolic statements of Gov Amaechi while speaking at the Sixth Port Harcourt Book Festival at the Hotel Presidential Port Harcourt Wednesday, October 23, 2013, an occasion that  as usual offered the insolent Amaechi yet another opportunity to cast aspersions on some elder statesmen and political leaders in the state including the Supervising Minister for Education, Barr Nyesom Wike and the former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, and former Acting National Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Prince Chibudom Nwuche.

 

The party pointed out that if Gov Amaechi’s problem was not something close to a klepto, he would not have described politicians whether still active or retired as incompetent and failed professionals when he studied literature in English and claimed to have read law while serving as the Speaker of the State House of Assembly and yet clings to political power even when it’s clear he cannot perform.

 

Gov Amaechi is apparently a real paradox of his hypothesis and has never failed to display his self-consciousness without confidence that is a salient feature of a broken nervous system, the PDP reasoned.

 

The Party feels unease over this persistent disrespectful attitude of the Governor which does not portray him as a real democrat and statesman he claims to be, describing such action as insolent and childish of a Chief Executive of a State, and wishes to use this medium to call on Governor Amaechi to learn to respect other leaders and elders of our nation, wondering why someone who wants to be adored with an unwavering loyalty will not accord same to others who undoubtedly deserve same and even more.

 

The Party has tolerated enough of such unpatriotic and embarrassing actions of Governor Amaechi and his allies in the State and would no longer fold its hands and allow opportunists and nonentities to continue to be rude to our people and leaders who have made their marks in the sand of times.

 

The PDP therefore calls on whoever has access to the adventurous travelling Governor to advise him (if he will heed such advice) to discontinue abusing the privileges he enjoys as the Governor of the State, and respect himself and office, and to give respect to whom respect is due, especially at public events.
