The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the goernor, Rotimi Amaechi of endorsing an alleged cultist, Hon. Dakuku Peterside, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship flagbearer.
The party in a statement signed by the special Adviser on Media to the State Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah, Jerry Needam, said despite Amaechi’s earlier needless outburst, he still went ahead to elect a cultist to take over the reins of governance in the State next year.
According to the PDP, it’s now clear why Amaechi decided to cry wolf when there was no need for such.
“Knowing the caliber of names paraded for screening by our party to ensure we don’t leave anything to chance, we shuddered when Amaechi came up with that image smearing campaign. We can now understand he only wanted to pre-empt us knowing full well that he was going to endorse Dakuku Peterside, a well known cultist as the APC consensus candidate”, the PDP declared.
The PDP insists all these antics are well known and cannot deter it from pursuing with vigor the important need of saving the Rivers people from his police regime under the control of the self-seeking cabal of which he is the leader.
“May we state it for the umpteen time that the PDP, as a responsible party will not tow the path of Amaechi and his APC, and cannot contemplate fielding a cultist on our platform as he has done.
“We wish to reassure the good people of Rivers that whatever antics he employs, it will amount to futility as the PDP has grown more than he can stop, the party declared.”
NAIJA CENTER NEWS learned that all is not well in the APC in Rivers state as PDP and APC started their blame game. The APC acused PDP of masterminding the protest that took place at the front of the government house, by renting some never do well youth in the community.
Amaechi woes had deepened since he endorsed Hon. Peterside as the APC coonsensus candidate in the state. The Ogonis immediately took to the state house to protest against the decision to choose Peterside over Hon. Magnus Abe.
The Ogonis accused Amaechi of using Hon. Abe to fight all his deadly wars and then dumped him. they also said he assured them that their son would click the governorship ticket until Amaechi betrayed them.
