Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chairman, Bro
Felix Obuah, has advised a faction of the embattled Rivers State chapter of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, to join hands with well-meaning Nigerians and
prevail on the APC-led Federal Government to return the State
funds stolen by former State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi principally from the
proceeds of the State Gas Turbines arbitrarily and unlawfully sold by the
former Governor at the twilight of his exit.
The State PDP boss described as childish, the call by the
embattled Rivers APC faction for the resignation of Governor Wike for raising
alarm over the millions of dollars discovered in Amaechi’s Ikoyi residence.
Berating the Amaechi’s faction of the APC in the State, the
State PDP chairman said the Presidency is already investigating the Ikoyi
‘million dollar’ saga sequel to the lid blown off the bottle and the data
provided by Governor Wike.
Bro Obuah wondered why the Amaechi’s faction of the State
APC would want the facts of their principal’s ownership of the recovered loot
swept under the carpet instead of joining well-meaning Nigerians to insist that
the money be returned to Rivers State Government coffers for the completion of
Governor Wike’s developmental projects.
“May we remind the Amaechi’s faction of the Rivers APC that
Governor Wike during a recent press conference announced to journalists that a
team of lawyers were already working on the matter,insisting that the Rivers
State Government will get to the root of the matter”, the State PDP Chairman
declared, stressing that the $43 million found in Amaechi’s Ikoyi Oshorne Towers
flat belongs to the Rivers State Government.
