| Rivers Gov., Amaechi |
The Rivers State Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), says the near empty stadium that greeted Governor Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi’s guests who were mobilized to witness his official declaration for the
All Progressives Congress, APC, is enough counsel that he is no longer relevant
in Rivers political calculation.
The PDP in a statement by the
Special Adviser on Media to the State Chairman, Jerry Needam said the poor
turnout of supporters that marked the APC rally which left the only 14,000
capacity stadium yawning for occupation should be a source of worry to Gov
Amaechi who had earlier boasted of over 40 million crowd.
Even with the scanty turn-out, the
statement noted that those that attended the rally were mainly a rented crowd
who were pad N30,000 each by Amaechi’s council chairmen under duress.
The party notes that the surprise
package has forced a bewildered Amaechi to claim that today’s event is no
longer a declaration rally but to announce that the federal government is
ruling with impunity.
Is mere observation or announcement
of one’s assumption enough reason to bring the National Exco of the APC
including a former Head of State to Rivers State for a rally at this busy
period of Christmas, the PDP queried.
Not expressing surprise over the
cheap denial, the PDP recalls a similar contradiction when in 2011 while
addressing a political rally in Port Harcourt, Gov Amaechi openly declared that
those who carry broom are sourmen and juju priests and today he is carrying
broom, a proof that he is a juju priest who should have no place in a Christian
state like Rivers.
“It’s in the light of this that we
can never be perturbed and also wish to advise all those rented to fill the
empty stadium as APC supporters with the promise of monthly salaries through
SURE-P to beware of a man who changes his statement minute per minute”, the PDP
stressed.
