Amaechi Has A Message For Rivers People About PDP, SEE What He Said

Gov. Rotimi Amaechi
of Rivers State has
called on supporters of
the All Progressives Congress,
APC to get ready to mobilise so
as to vote out the Peoples
Democratic Party in the state.
Amaechi made this call during a
New Year visit to inaugurate 100
motorcycles to begin the
registration of APC members in
Tai Local Government Area.

He said, "On the day of the
election in 2015, I want you (the
people of Tai) to support the All
Progressives Congress, vote out
PDP and you will get the
implementation of the UNEP
report.

"In the 2011 elections, (Tai
people) were among those who
voted President (Goodluck)
Jonathan into office and we have
nothing to show for it as
dividends of democracy. The only
way you can pay back PDP is to
vote out the party.
"PDP has the police to intimidate
us, but, I tell you as a people, in
a democracy, power belongs to
the people to choose their
leaders.

"So, you must protect the Rivers
interest because we have suffered
much in the hands of the PDP.
We all must therefore defend the
interest of All Progressives
Congress.

He explained once again that one
of the reasons why he left the
PDP for the APC was the non-
implementation of the UNEP
report by the Federal
Government, adding that it was
wrong for the Federal
Government to deprive the
people of Ogoni from receiving
their compensation and enjoy a
habitable environment.

However, the State PDP
Chairman, Mr. Felix Obuah,
dismissed Amaechi's call on the
people to vote out the party in
the 2015, adding that the PDP
would remain the ruling party in
the state in 2015.
