The Party noted this in a statement signed by the Special Adviser
on Media to the State Chairman, Jerry Needam in a swift reaction to the two day
centenary public holidays (Friday/Monday) ordered by Amaechi which it described
as unnecessary.
Regretting the negative impact of such arbitrary declaration of
school and work free days for public servants and students, the party said it’s
suspicious that Gov Amaechi suddenly realized and declared public holidays
midway into the 100 years celebration of the founding of Port Harcourt which
had been on for weeks.
Also arguing that Gov Amaechi has other pecuniary interest to have
cut the academic flow of Rivers children and work ethics of State public
servants, the PDP warned against any attempt to continue to keep the students
and workers at home at the expense of the suffering masses and State resources.
“We are indeed, shocked at the extent Gov Amaechi who has
continued to parade himself as a foremost promoter of education of our children
and youths for a better tomorrow could go to destroy anything considered an
obstacle in his path to realize his political ambition and, or actualize any
cause he believes in, right or wrong”, the party stressed.
Claiming knowledge of Amaechi’s hidden agenda for the planned extension
of the public holidays by another one week even when his is out of the State on
his usual jamboree trips, the PDP warned of the daring consequences of such needless action and far reaching
imprecations on the essential production sector of the State economy and those
that need judicial and legal attention in courts and prisons, and enjoined all Rivers people to resist this
madness.
