The Rivers State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo should do
well by taking advantage of his visit to the State to throw more light on the
huge fraudulent financial charges he said were hanging around Governor Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi's neck while he was the Speaker of the State's House of Assembly.
Recalling the K-leg saga that was
the genesis of the current political crisis in Rivers State which was
championed by Chief Obasanjo in 2006 to strip Gov. Amaechi of the PDP
governorship ticket, the party in a statement signed by the Special Adviser,
Media to the State Chairman, Jerry Needam and obtained by SHOWBIZPLUS, said the people of Rivers State
deserve to know the outcome of those charges and investigations and why the
former president suddenly swallowed his words to honour the invitation by a man
he so much vilified and caused the anti-graft agencies to pursue on account of
corruption.
Failure to oblige this request, the
statement adds, the people of Rivers State will be left with no other option
than to conclude that he (Obasanjo) has either compromised his acclaimed hard
stance against corruption in high places or worse still, is playing politics
with the entire Rivers people notwithstanding the after effects.
The PDP strongly believes that it
was Obasanjo’s stiff opposition to Chibuike Amaechi against the will of the
party leadership and faithful in the State concomitant to the party primaries
on December 6, 2006 that is still haunting the State till date.
The Party insists that issues
that border on corruption and mismanagement of State resources are such serious
matters that cannot be wished away by political bravado associated with
projects commissioning let alone by Gov. Amaechi’s direct accuser, ex-president
Olusegun Obasanjo, stressing that unless the issue of K-leg is explained to the
people, neither Obasanjo nor Amaechi will be taken serious by Rivers people.
