False
Accusation Against Bro. Felix Obuah
The
Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded full
and unreserved apology from the defeated All Progressives Congress (APC)
governorship candidate in the 2015 election and Director General of Nigerian
Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) , Mr. Dakuku Adol Peterside,
following false accusation against the person of the State Chairman of PDP, Bro.
Felix Obuah, that he (Obuah) attempted
to inject poisonous substances on one Atonyesia Peterside, (Dakuku Peterside’s
cousin), who was arrested for printing fake INEC result sheets and other
sensitive electoral materials in preparation for the rescheduled re-run
legislative elections in the State on December 10, 2016.
In
a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the PDP Chairman on Media and
Publicity, Jerry Needam, the party gives Mr. Dakuku Peterside 48 hours to
comply with its demand or face legal action.
The
Party said it considered the action of Dakuku Peterside as an affront, criminal
libel, height of disrespect, defamation of the character of Bro. Obuah and act
capable of causing breach of the peace in the State, noting that it took the
respected PDP Chairman, Bro. Felix Obuah, many years to build the name and
integrity which is so dearly cherished by people within and outside the State,
and would be unfair allowing Mr. Dakuku Peterside, whose childish and premature
attitude made him to tell the world that he came from a family of warriors,
rather than a responsible background, to cause such aspersion on a man of high
esteem and virtues.
“Mr.
Dakuku Adol Peterside’s false accusation against Bro. Felix Obuah is
unacceptable. We are talking about the
Chairman of the PDP in Rivers State; a man with a high pedigree and unflinching
integrity; a man who would not hurt a fly, talk of plotting to take someone’s
life”, the Party stated.
The
PDP frowned at Mr. Peterside’s constant uncivilized attitude and for defaming
the character of Bro. Obuah, whose contributions to humanity and the party is
legendary.
It
is well known that Bro. Obuah’s philanthropic gestures and humanitarian
services know no bound, having severally donated to the cause of the poor and
less privileged in society, offered employment to thousands of Rivers people in
his private business outfits and government agencies. He has built places of worship for many
religious bodies and is also popularly called ‘Go Round’ because of his
benevolence”, the party declared.
The
Party reminded Mr. Dakuku Peterside of the adage which says that ‘a child who
respects elders would live long and also be respected’, urging the ill-fated
APC candidate to heed to the wise
counsel of the elders, if he hopes to live long and reach the heights attained
by Bro. Felix Obuah.
