Foremost Niger-Delta activist, Annkio Briggs has lashed out at the Felix Obuah-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Annkio Briggs in a media briefing accused Felix Obuah of running the PDP like a secret cult group, stressing that it is only cult groups that shut out anyone that questions their authority.
She also maintained that her protest against the concession of the next Governor of the state to Ikwerre or upland remained, adding that no one will be allowed to scuttle the presidential ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan.
While calling on the attention of the national leadership of the PDP, the rights activist, who just returned from her participation in the just concluded National conference said other ethnic groups will not support the PDP if they failed to rescind their plans to project an Ikwerre Governor.
“The PDP leadership as presently constituted may be a secret cult group along with their allies since only a cult group can shut you out from questioning their clandestine and mischievous activities.
“Therefore, the chest beating, the huffing and puffing by few individuals that their selfish political actions will deliver Rivers State for President Jonathan is not true.
“Some of us have been in the vanguard of supporting President Jonathan even when those who today claim to be fighting for Jonathan were totally opposed to his presidency as far back as 2009.
“We will therefore resist any attempt by any person or group of persons to endanger president Jonathan’s clear chances of winning a 100% vote in Rivers state.
“It will amount to injustice in Rivers State and it will not be accepted.
“If Wike or any Ikwerre man wants to present himself as the Governor of Rivers State, we will not vote for him.
“But if APC for instance brings an Ogoni candidate or somebody from the riverine and PDP brings an Ikwerre candidate, I don’t have to tell you where I will vote.
“I am telling you that on polling day, I will vote for Jonathan”, she said.
The Felix Obuah-led PDP has in the recent past come under heavy condemnations from some influential party stakeholders in Rivers State.
