Ameachi is the biggest problem rivers ever had~PDP

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has alleged
that Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State remains the main problem
of the state.
Deputy National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, stated
this at a press briefing in Abuja on Saturday.
According to the punch ,he accused the governor of shutting down the
courts and also taking total control of the State House of Assembly,
actions he said were being resisted by the people of the state.
Secondus was reacting to the crisis in Okrika, where hoodlums
suspected to be members of the PDP disrupted the governorship rally
organised by the All Progressives Congress.
He further accused the governor of using the state resources to fund
the presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress.
Secondus said, "The crisis in Rivers State is Amaechi. You journalists
should go and investigate. He shut down the courts, he shut down the
state assembly and he is now the sole administrator and maximum leader
and the people are resisting.
"Salaries aren't paid as at when due, the state fund being taken away
to sponsor the Presidential Candidate of the APC, General Muhhamadu
Buhari. Our jet now is owned by Buhari. Where in this world is it done
that people are happy?
"So, all the news of crisis are being generated by Amaechi because he
has lost the state and he sustains himself on the pages of newspapers.
So, Amaechi is the problem.
"Take for instance the national assembly here if they have
disagreement, and the President moves from Villa to the National
Assembly and be a partaker in what is going on there.
"But the governor of Rivers State who is the architect of the crisis
moved from government house to House of Assembly and took sides. You
people should do your investigation and report accurately. Tell him to
stop."
Specifically, he insisted that the the crisis in Okrika was between
factions of the APC in the state.
According to him, "The Okrika matter that you talked about, it is APC
versus APC, but Amaechi is orchestrating it as if it is PDP and he is
even bringing the name of the wife of the President.
"Governor Amaechi has insulted the intelligence of the Rivers people.
He is now permanently based in Lagos, in fact, the government of
Rivers state has collapsed because Amaechi is no longer governing."
On the call by the APC that the Court of Appeal judgement be respected
concerning the deployment of soldiers for elections, Secondus said
soldiers were never used for elections.
He said they were usually deployed for logistics .
He said, "It isn't new, it has been done before, soldiers aren't
involved in elections, but they are kept in strategic places to
safeguard the nation."
