The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has
blasted the outgoing Governor of the State, Rotimi Chubuike Amaechi for
losing his bid to grab the Vice Presidential ticket of the All
Progressives Congress, APC.According to a statement issued by the PDP
today.
"The PDP is excited that Amaechi has been confirmed as a serial loser
who lacks the capacity to win any competitive contest and can only excel
in incivility and loose tongues.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",
"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 LagosConsidering 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. The Party also warns all
financial bodies, including Banks and other lending institutions, not to
honour any furtherapplications for loans or borrowing arrangement by
the Rivers State government under Governor Amaechi or any of its
agencies, as such financial transactions will not be respected by the
incoming Government in the State",
