Tap Water |
The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described as unfortunate the continued acute scarcity of drinking water in the State despite the huge resources available to Gov Amaechi administration to satisfy this basic need.
The party in a statement sent to SHOWBIZPLUSNG by Jerry Needam, Special Adviser on Media to the
State Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah made the observation while speaking at this
year’s World Water Day Celebration.
The PDP blamed the lingering water problem in the State on Governor
Chibuike Amaechi’s inability to differentiate between the basic needs of the
people and political exigencies, stressing that water is essential to
sustenance of life and is the sole reason for the celebration by the United
Nations.
The Party regrets that under Gov Amaechi, all the taps in the State
have dried up, even as the billions of naira budgeted for the State Ministry of
Water Resources annually for the provision of water cannot be accounted for.
The PDP is using this occasion this year’s Water Day to call for a
probe into the allocations to the Rivers State Ministry of Water in the last
six years running into billions of naira.
The Party however enjoins the Rivers people to continue to be patient
and exercise restraint, expressing hope for a brighter future with a more
responsive government replacing the complacent and visionless Amaechi-led government
which has relinquished its responsibility to the people for politicking for the
All Progressives Congress, APC.
