As Ogonis successfully marked 2017 Ogoni
Day on Wednesday January 4, 2017, the Chairman, Rivers State Chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Bro Felix Obuah says real enemies of the Ogoni people
are those who used army, other security agencies and armed political thugs to
hijack election materials and rigged the December 10,
2016 re-run election in the area.
Bro Obuah in a press statement in Port
Harcourt urged the people of Ogoni to be vigilant, as these same persons would
in the coming days, also hijack the process of the Ogoni Clean-up, and divert
for their private use part of the 1 billion dollar clean-up project fund to
recover their political campaign expenses.
He regretted that several Ogoni sons and
daughters have been killed by desperate All Progressives Congress, APC,
politicians in the area, to win election.
The PDP chairman called on Ogoni to
reflect on those killed and the manner the military and other security agencies
hijacked election materials and rigged election in favour of the APC candidates
in the area with a view to appropriately label them real enemies of the Ogoni
people.
He congratulated the people of Ogoni on
the 2017 successful Ogoni Day Celebration and the Movement for the Survival of
the Ogoni People, MOSOP, for sustaining the quest for a better Ogoni.
Bro Obuah also disclosed that the PDP
has gone to the Elections Petitions Tribunal to challenge the purported
elections and declarations of Magnus Abe; Senator Representing Rivers South
East Senatorial District, Maurice Pronem; Khana/Gokana Federal Constituency,
Barry Mpigi; Tai/Eleme/Oyigbo Federal Constituency, Innocent Barikor; Gokana
State Constituency, Friday Nke-ee; Khana State Constituency 2, Tai and Eleme
State Constituencies respectively, as winners of the December 10, 2016 re-run
elections, following the use of the army and other security agencies and armed
thugs to hijack election materials and rig the election in their favour.

Jerry Needam
Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity to
Bro. Felix Obuah,
