Amaechi
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Barrister Nyesom Wike has described the apology tendered by Governor Rotimi Ameachi for his woeful performance as state chief executive during his last pre-election state broadcast as another reason why the people of the state are going to overwhelmingly elect him, Wike, as the next governor of the state.
According to a statement issued by the Special Assistant, Media, to Wike, Simeon Nwakaudu,the Wike-Banigo PDP governorship ticket in Rivers State represents the future of the state and the only platform to protect the resources of the state from the predators already primed to further damage the state.
the statement reads in part: “Amaechi’s perfidious apology laced with underlying threats to the peace loving people of Rivers State remains a desperate attempt by a drowning politician who is scheming to stay relevant through undemocratic means, having sustained himself as the governor of the state by deliberately killing the Judiciary, Legislature and emasculating the civil service.
“The forthcoming Governorship and State Assembly elections provide the people of Rivers State the opportunity to send a clear message to all the political traitors in the state by a supporting a true Rivers son, Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, through a vote for the PDP and all her candidates.
“Barrister Wike represents the revival of Rivers State and the vision to make the state work positively for everyone who resides in it, rather than a source for the enrichment of a few through unbridled corruption.
“Despite Amaechi’s sinister techniques, the people of Rivers State will once again vote the PDP on April 11 because they are committed to a Barrister Wike-led administration that will build a truly united Rivers State, prosperous with boundless opportunities for everyone who lives in it to peacefully pursue their goals and realize their full potentials in dignity and happiness”, the statement said.
The statement further counselled Ameachi to conclude work on his handover notes to Barrister Wike rather than waste his time trying to subvert the will of Rivers people, adding that it was time that the people completed their political statement, started on March 28.
“While Amaechi reserves the right to seek forgiveness for his woeful performance as governor who had over N3 trillion to develop the state but betrayed the trust of the people, he must realize that the people of Rivers State have made a choice to follow Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and his running mate, Dr. Mrs. Ipalibo Harry-Banigo to deliver Rivers State from the clutches of fraud, under-development, political treachery and disrespect for the rule of law”, the statement said.
