--Calls on Him,
APC Leadership to Commend Wike’s Security, Development Efforts
The Chairman,
Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bro Felix Obuah takes
exception to the views of the former lawmaker, Prince Chubudom Nwuche, on the
security situation in Rivers State, saying by virtue of his person and as
someone who has been a key player in the party’s activities, he should
understand the dynamics of political governance as it relates to issues of
security.
The PDP flays
Prince Nwuche’s misguided views on the state of affairs, particularly security
efforts of the government, saying it is disappointing that his apparent quest
for relevance and recognition in his new and unsuccessful party, the All
Progressives Congress, APC, has eventually beclouded his sense of judgment,
leading him desperately to suppress facts and the truth on the uncompromising
stance of the Rivers State government under Governor Nyesom Wike in tackling
insecurity all over the State.
It is obvious
that Prince Nwuche’s statement on security development in the State is that of
a drowning and an uniformed person, no wonder he continues to jump from pillar
to post in search of political visibility after losing relevance as a result of
his failure to adequately represent his people at the National Assembly and
failed attempt to secure the highly competitive ticket for the Rivers West
Senatorial seat in the Senate on the platform of our great party, the PDP.
A lost and
irrelevant politician like Prince Nwuche needs not be left in darkness, but
made to understand the reality on ground. For the benefit of doubt therefore,
and for ingrates like Prince Nwuche, since inception of office, Chief Wike
administration in the State has left no stone unturned in ensuring that the
State is ridden of criminality and violence. This informed the efficient and
fruitful relationship between the security agencies and the Rivers State
government which has manifested in the current peace in parts of the State.
The PDP
chairman, Bro Obuah therefore views comments credited to Chibudom Nwuche in the
Nation, Sunday, January 24, 2016 page 56
that the PDP deployed violence to win the elections, bought guns and armed bad
elements, as absolutely false, misleading and concocted to play into APC relevance,
and to seek political appointment, having worked against APC and Buhari during
the general elections.
It’s on the strength
of this also that the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, takes exception to the accusation
by Prince Nwuche, liking it to someone who, after spending greater
percentage of his early life learning a trade, remains an apprentice, even
while his mates have all graduated to be masters and leaders in that trade.
The PDP chairman
says, the Ekpeye born-politician, who rode on the fame and support of Dr Peter
Odili, former governor of Rivers State to become the number six citizen of the
country in the capacity as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives
in 2003, a position zoned to Rivers State by the party, the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, has since then been at the corridor of political power in Nigeria.
Expectedly, considering
his many failed years in political leadership, Prince Nwuche ought to have been
among the best and most experienced politicians the nation, particularly his
Ekpeye people would have been proud of and also depended upon.
Unfortunately,
the reverse is the case with Prince Nwuche, who, rather than exhibiting
maturity and true progressive tendencies, has continued to be retrogressive,
unprepared and unfit to be entrusted with the peoples’ mandate.
Bro Obuah is
aware of the zero tolerance policy and actions of the Rivers State government
on criminal tendencies and acts of violence in the State which Governor Wike
received our commendation. The Party remains proud and supportive of the
governor’s efforts in the development of the State and also reiterates its
confidence in the ability of Governor Wike in transforming all parts of the
State, including Ekpeye land.
The PDP
therefore, calls on the diminishing Abuja politician, Prince Nwuche, and his
APC propagandists to stomach their pride and tell the world the truth about the
astronomical development successes of the PDP government under governor Wike in
Rivers State, rather than deliberately painting the State black for selfish
ambition.
Furthermore, the
Party urges Prince Chibudom Nwuche and the APC leadership to join other
well-meaning Rivers people and Nigerians in commending the Governor and the PDP
in sustaining peace and security in a multi-ethnic, populous and fast growing
industrial and commercial State like Rivers and to stop peddling lies and taking
actions aimed at causing anarchy in the area.
