Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has responded to the claims by
the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, that he is the biggest
problem of Rivers, owing to his alleged involvement in the violence
bedeviling the state.
While responding to the comments of Prince Uche Secondus, the Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Amaechi described the allegations as “irresponsible, repugnant and contemptuous.”
In a statement released by the Rivers State Government House on Saturday, February 21, Amaechi stated that Secondus “danced naked in the market square as he continued on his grossly irresponsible, repugnant and contemptuous, albeit, feckless mission of denigrating and disparaging the person and office of the Governor of Rivers State and the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum(NGF).”
He stated further: “Secondus, who has woefully failed the state and its people, shamelessly told a press conference in Abuja that Governor Amaechi is the main problem of the state, amongst other reckless, spurious allegations.”
“This is the same Secondus who, just a couple of years back, hailed Governor Amaechi as the best thing to happen to Rivers State. Rivers people know that it’s rather Secondus and this PDP cabal that are obviously our problem. They want to return Rivers State and its people to the dark days of the pre – Amaechi.
“Contrary to the wild claims of Prince Secondus, Governor Amaechi has never and will never be in alliance with cultists. It is a known fact, nationally and internationally, that when he became Governor in 2007, Amaechi chased away these cultists from Rivers State. Many were arrested and prosecuted. He openly condemned them and their criminal activities that had then ruined the economic, social and political life of the State.”
“How can this same Amaechi now be in bed with the same cultists he condemned, fought, arrested, prosecuted and chased way from Rivers State? That is simply not possible.”
