Hold Amaechi responsible for any breakdown of law and order – Rivers PDP warns
The planned visit of some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Rivers State has attracted the ire of some parties within the state.
The visit slated to hold today has been criticized by the rival Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) within the state which has warned the Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that the action could lead to a possible breakdown of law and order.
This warning was given by the party through its State Chairman, Chief Felix Obuah, who attended the inauguration of the executives of wards of a socio-political group, Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI) where he made the statement.
The Sun Newspaper reports:
Addressing the crowd at Eleme yesterday, Obuah said Governor Chibuike Amaechi should be held responsible, should there be any breakdown of law and order in the state today, due to the visit by
Buhari and his group.
He said: “I want to say this, as a sign or warning, that any breakdown of law and order in this state, Governor Rotimi Amaechi should be held responsible.”
The PDP chairman alleged that Governor Amaechi dolled out N500 million from the state’s coffers, to a neighbouring state to mobilize people to come to Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa today and welcome APC leaders to the state.
“Is that what our money is meant for? When there is breakdown of law and order, they will say it is Mbu. I want to sincerely thank the law enforcement agents for the peace we witnessed throughout the burial of the president’s wife mother. So, if for any reason, Amaechi is not comfortable with the peace in the state, and is going about campaigning and using our money to mobilize people from Edo State and other neighbouring states to come and support him. It is Rivers money for Rivers people. I thank GDI for what its doing,” the chairman further said.
