…Emphasizes that those leaving the PDP were not members of the Party
Ahead of the March 19, 2016 Re-run
State and National Assemblies Elections in Rivers State, Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State, Bro. Felix Obuah has called on
Rivers people to reject all the
candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming polls.
The Chairman stresses that the White Paper Report
which indicted the administration of former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi
underscored the fact that members of the APC
are
looters and fraudulent, and therefore should not be entrusted with public office.
The statement which was signed by Obuah’s Special Adviser on
Media, Jerry Needam, emphasizes that
Rivers people were yet to come to terms with how billions of Naira belonging to
the people were misappropriated by the Amaechi regime with reckless abandon.
Bro. Obuah further notes that the
fleecing of billions of Naira of Central Bank loans meant for the development
of small scale businesses of Rivers people by the APC administration of
Governor Amaechi was still fresh in mind, warning that APC members cannot again
be trusted with the management of State resources.
Most worrisome, according to the State PDP Chairman, are the
lamentations by the National Chairman of APC, John Oyegun over the resources of
Rivers and other Niger Delta States, adding that this development has further
exposed the antics of the APC.
The PDP chairman reiterates
that what the PDP and the generality of Rivers people deduced from Oyegun’s
body language was that the APC are after the resources of Rivers State and not
the development of the State.
Bro. Obuah expresses joy that
the Supreme Court judgment has engendered peace and
tranquility in the State, noting that the only way
to sustain the peace was to reject the APC and all their antics.
The PDP Chairman also warns the people to be wary of the APC candidates and leaders, who, he maintains, are
aiming to grab the common wealth of Rivers State and destabilize the State.
Similarly, the PDP Chairman reiterates that all those who
claim to have left the Party for other political parties are not members of the
PDP as there is no record of their membership of the PDP in the State.
Bro. Obuah discloses that apart from the fact that the
Secretariat of the PDP does not have such records of the alleged decampees, all
those who claim to have defected do not have any value and their leaving is
inconsequential to the success of the PDP, adding that they would definitely
not be able to make any positive impact in any party they defect to.
He urges the people of
the State not to be deceived by those non existing claims by less important and
insignificant persons, saying the APC is only a Party with incompatible and
combustible elements doomed to finally crash in the re-run elections.
Obuah again thanks all Rivers people for their sustained
support and acceptance and further appeals to them to continue to vote for All
PDP candidates during the election for the Party to deliver on its electioneering
promises.

Jerry Needam
Special Adviser on Media to
State PDP Chairman, Bro. Felix Obuah
