…Calls on security Agents
to investigate, Arrest Him
The chairman, Rivers
State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Bro Felix Obuah, says its
attention has been drawn to a media statement emanating from the State Chairman
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr. Davis Ikanya, alleging plot by members
of our party to eliminate some selected chieftains of the APC.
To the best of our
knowledge and for record purposes, there is no such plan, and we also vouch
that no member of our great party, the PDP, has contemplated or has any reason
to carry out such action, especially now that all our attention is geared
towards sustaining the hard earned prevailing peace and total development in
the State.
We strongly condemn this
damaging step and deliberate plot by Mr. Ikanya and the APC leaders to paint
our party in bad light, all in their quest to cause disaffection, social and
political unrest in our State, apparently irked by the outcome of the Supreme
Court Judgment, which gives victory to our Party and Governor Wike.
The PDP chairman, in a
press statement, affirms emphatically that the allegation is false,
ill-conceived and unsubstantiated, principally aimed at diverting the attention
of the security agencies from the atrocities and violent inclination of the APC
leaders and members, which is evident in the recent illegal arrests and
assaults carried out on some members of the PDP and those perceived to be
supportive of our party in the local government areas.
The PDP, as a responsible
and absolutely democratic institution, has not and cannot at this time of celebrating
her success at the Apex Court allowed herself to be distracted or engaged in
destructive politics. Our concern now and always is to strive to offer to the
people of Rivers State good leadership and development. It is therefore
meaningless to also divert hard earned resources and precious time into joining
issues with the APC that is full of incompatible, irrelevant and combustible
propagandists.
While calling on the law
enforcement agencies to immediately investigate Mr Ikanya’s grave and misleading
allegation, capable of destabilizing the State, the PDP reiterates that it
values life and will not do anything in disregard of its sanctity.
The PDP chairman, Bro
Obuah also calls on the general public to discountenance Mr Ikanya’s malicious
and unfounded allegation, urging the Police and the State Security Service to
investigate and charge him accordingly, for false information and incitement.
