Rotimi Amaechi
The state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Felix Obuah on Wednesday denied plan to impeach Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
At a press briefing in Port Harcourt, Obuah stated that the allegation was false, and had no element of truth.
“I’m a law abiding citizen of Nigeria; I know that as a party chairman, I have no constitutional right to impeach a Governor.”
“We are not the legislature that checks the excesses of the executive, we have no such plans because, we have come to unite the state and the party,’’ he said.
The chairman tasked the Governor to run a transparent and accountable leadership, while urging the people to turn deaf ears to calls by lawmakers to protest against his team.
Obuah said that he suspended the lawmakers to deter others who might be planning any form of anti-party activities.
“Disciplinary measures are meant for offenders,” he said.
He urged the loyal party members to continue to support the leadership of the party.
He commended President Goodluck Jonathan for ensuring the prevalence of the rule of law and discipline in the party, insisting that “the PDP is big enough to accommodate everyone, including the aggrieved members.”
“There was no time that we individually or collectively planned to plunge the state into chaos or political restiveness as being peddled by some aggrieved members,” he said.
DailyPost had reported earlier the ongoing speculation on the plot to remove the Governor by the state law makers, as planned by the PDP.
