Ahead of the high powered delegation of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to Rivers State, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state, Felix Obuah has accused Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi of hiring a crowd of supporters to cheer the General Mohammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu-led APC team at the Port Harcourt International Airport.
Obuah made the accusation at the Grassroot Development Initiative rally held in Eleme, Rivers State.
He alleged that the whooping sum of over N500 million has been budget for the purported propaganda.
“Only yesterday, he (Amaechi) has given out N500 million of our state money to a nearby state to mobilize people to the airport to receive the leadership of APC. Is that what our money is meant for?
“If for any reason Amaechi is not comfortable with the peace we are witnessing in the state and he’s going about giving out our money to other people from Edo and nearby states to come and support him here, we say no”, Obuah alleged.
He also said Amaechi should be held responsible for any breakdown of law and order in the state.
“As a mark of sign and warning, I want to say that if there is any breakdown of law and order in this state, Governor Rotimi Amaechi should be held responsible”, he said.
DailyPost reports that other speakers at the rally includes Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, National Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus and Nigerian Ambassador to South-Korea, Desmond Akawoh also criticized the impending visit of APC officials
According to Secondus, “days from now, you will see that those that are not in GDI and those of them that are in government will be declaring for APC and they will leave us alone in PDP. I announce to you that there will be thanksgiving. Let them go. We shall meet at the polls”.
The APC members are expected in Rivers State and other members of the G-7 states as part of their nationwide membership drive for the newly formed party.
