Rivers State PDP Chapter Rejoices Over Amaechi Losing APC Vice Presidential Slot

            



The Rivers state Chapter of the People Democratic Party congratulate Rotimi Amaechi for losing the bid to grab the APC Vice Presidential ticket, the member rejoiced over this development,saying it prove that Amaechi is a serial loser, who cannot win in any competitive contest

The Special Adviser on Media to State PDP chairman Felix Obuah in a statement on Wednesday, laments the billions of tax payers money the out going Governor spent on lobbying for the APC VP Ticket in expense of salaries of civil servant and infrastructural development.In his words


 It alleged that “the outgoing Governor Rotimi Amaechi plans to empty the State treasury and also debit the upcoming Government with huge debts that will take the life span of his successor administration to upset.“One of such plans, the PDP can authoritatively reveal is the recent directive by Governor Amaechi to the Chairmen of the 23 Local Government Areas, whose tenure in office has elapsed to access bank loans to the tune of Two Hundred Million Naira (N200,000,000.00).

“The loan, the Party reliably gathered, would be used to fund this year’s cultural Festival, here referred to as ‘CANIRIV’ and as Christmas package and freebies for members of the All Progressives Congress in the various LGAs and fun APC campaigns.

The PDP condemns in its entirety what it describes as criminal and unpatriotic of Governor Amaechi and all those aiding him to commit such financial fraud on Rivers People.

“In addition, the party says the outgoing Governor has consistently squandered public funds on Personal Political ambition, sponsoring APC events and his failed Vice Presidential aspiration”.

“It has also been established that the outgoing Rivers State Governor is today a leading financier of Gen Buhari’s Presidential campaign, as billions of Rivers money were used in organising Buhari’s campaign tours and travels as well as major events of the APC in and outside the State, including the protest march in Abuja and the National Convention in Lagos

“Considering the economic and social implications these reckless and fraudulent financial activities of Governor Amaechi portend on the State and people after the life of this administration, the PDP believes it is time to act rather than remaining mute over an avoidable calamitous situation in the State.

“It is in the light of this that the PDP urges all anti-graft agencies to urgently save Rivers State and the people from impending collapse in 2015, after Governor Amaechi has left office.”
