Rivers All Progressives Congress (APC) said it received with rude shock
the latest plot by the Grassroots development initiatives (GDI) to waste
and plunder the hard scarce public funds of Rivers State by embarking
upon a wild goose chase of mobilising the indigenes of Rivers State
abroad to re-elect an unelectable Chief Nyesom Wike who have caused
untold hardship, havoc and embarrassment to the image of Rivers State
and her people since he assumed office as an emergency Governor of
Rivers State.
The party stated that for GDI to embark upon this unproductive and
unpatriotic act of the re-election of Wike only confirms the group’s
legendary in infamous and inglorious acts recalling that it was thesame
group that was used in 2014 to perpetuate insecurity in Rivers State;
used to molest some Northern Governors that came to Rivers State in 2014
to sympathise with the then Governor of Rivers State, Amaechi over his
ordeals in the hands of Wike and used to harass, beat up, molest and
dislodge over 11 key Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members that wanted
to contest the 2015 governorship election under the PDP platform at the
party’s National Secretariat at Abuja in 2014.
The party notes with nostalgia that Pastor Egba B. H Egba the Convener
of GDI of an illusory meeting of Nigerians in South Africa could
shamelessly stated that, “Governor Wike has brought relief to Rivers
State students who are on scholarship studying various courses abroad”.
The party asks, “How could Wike have brought relief to Rivers State
students that were stranded after unilaterally stopping the scholarship
scheme meant for their studies abroad? It is unfortunate that Pastor
Egba who is behind this latest plot has succeeded to expose himself as a
fake Pastor who is more concerned about his stomach and ready to do
anything to justify his illicit source of income”.
The party in a statement circulated on Friday in Port Harcourt by Chief
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the Media Consultant to Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya the
State Chairman of Rivers APC to media organizations further stated that
nobody who loves Rivers State and her future will take this infamous
group serious in its wild goose chase of re-electing Wike come 2019
serious as doing so will be disastrous and constitute a huge hindrance
to the growth and emancipation of Rivers State.
The party asks, how on earth could Governor Wike who ensured that our
civil servants and pensioners are not paid their entitlements when due
but prefers to give them loans, could not provide any employment to any
Rivers State son or daughter throughout his three years of misguided
governance; turned Rivers State into Rivers of blood and Port Harcourt
from the garden city status to Port Harcourt city of garbage and
dustbin; ensured that all the industries and facilities put up by the
administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to reposition the
State as an emerging great economic power in Africa are either
vandalised or rendered redundant will be re-elected if not to invite
disaster to the State.
The party further stated that under the terrible administration of
Governor Wike, Rivers state stands out as the worst in areas of
unemployment with highest unemployment rate of 41.82 per cent in the
country in the third quarter of 2017 according to the latest data
released in Abuja by the National Bureau of Statistics. This implies
that for every 10 persons in Rivers 4 are without anything doing.
Affirming the position of the National Bureau of Statistics the party
notes that under Wike’s evil administration no Rivers State Indigene
have been employed into the Civil Service instead those employed like
the 13,200 Teachers employed by Amaechi were sacked. This is the
character that Pastor Egbe and his group are campaigning for his
re-election.
Governor Wike whose second name is MR. DISASTER whose only well known
project is destroying all projects initiated and executed by Amaechi for
greater future of Rivers State is the character that the misguided GDI
is positioning to continue in his act of de-marketing Rivers State.
The party reiterated that any group that embarks upon the re-election of
Wike whose visionless administration in Rivers State has brought more
harm, hardship and shame to the State than any other administration
since the creation of the State in 1967 should be considered as a great
enemy of Rivers State.
Based on these facts, the party urged the entire Rivers State indigenes
to unite and team up with APC to salvage the State from the hands of
misguided elements currently destroying and ruining the State come
2019.”
