Rivers Assembly workers took to the street on Thursday to protest over an unpaid Salaries by the Rivers State Government.
The Chairman of the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bro Felix Oduah described the situation as pathetic, and wishes to identify with the staff.
In a Statement by the party, signed by Jerry Needam, Prince Obuah Special Adviser, the Chairman said the protest by the aggrieved State Assembly workers and the barricading of the gate of the make-shift House of assembly at Government House were Government Amaechi planned to converge with his rubber-stamp lawmakers to prove the 2015 State budget is justified and logical
Obuah noted that all the money for the protesed workers salaries and allowances were duly built into 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 annual budgets, adding that Amaechi has a heart of stone and that’s why he had turned his blind eye to the plight of the workers for three years.
The party chairman said Amaechi has forgone the salaries of the workers for the All Progressives Congress, APC sponsorship and campaigns, adding that he still preaching to the same people he is oppressing and sending to their early graves to continue to support his agent of marginalization and oppression.
He advised the workers to thread with caution, reassuring that the PDP government will as an urgent matter of public interest look into their grievances with a view to addressing and compensating them accordingly.
He advised the workers to reject Amaechi and APC whom he has planted to continue with his “draconian” regime and “mismanagement of State resources at the expense of the people”.
