On
Wednesday, February 27, 2019, a joint meeting of Amanyanabo-in-Council, Titled
Citizens and Political Stakeholders in Bonny was held at King Perekule Palace.
The meeting, which was intended to reconcile all differences arising from the
botched Presidential and National Assembly elections in Bonny and to prevent a
reoccurrence, was presided over by the Amanyanabo himself, King Edward Asimini
William Dappa Pepple III.
The All
Progressives Congress, Bonny chapter expresses her profound gratitude to the
King, Chiefs and Titled Citizens of Bonny Kingdom for their efforts towards a
peaceful and cordial political environment in Bonny Kingdom.
However,
it is regrettable that in less than 24 hours after a meeting of such magnitude
convened and presided over by the Amanyanabo himself and subsequent signing of
undertaking by representatives of the two dominant political parties, the APC
and PDP, our brothers and sisters of the PDP have taken actions that negate the
conciliatory spirit of the exercise by running to the media to give out
uncomplimentary and negative reports against the APC, Bonny
Chapter.
To us,
that action was ostensibly taken by the PDP to discredit the APC, make a
political capital and, possibly, please their paymaster somewhere, who had
mandated them during their campaign in Bonny to win at all costs, or risk being
rendered irrelevant, politically.
As a
political party which comprises men and women of exceptional nobility and
proven integrity, we will not fold our arms and watch our political opponents
paint us in very dark colours, demonize and portray us in bad light before the
innocent public.
Therefore,
in order to put the records straight, below is the text of the undertaking
signed by both parties and all critical stakeholders:
Joint
Meeting of Amanyanabo-In-Council, Titled Citizens' and Political Stake Holders,
At the King Perekule Palace Hall, Bonny, Held On Wednesday 27th February, 2019
An
Undertaking
Sequel to
the breach of peace that occurred on Saturday the 23rd of February, 2019 that
led to the cancellation of elections in Bonny and the attendant hardship and
disenfranchisement of the Bonny people in the Presidential and National
Assembly Elections, Amanyanabo-In-Council has called on the political parties
and political stakeholders to undertake as follows:
1. That no
political party or its Representatives shall take actions that would be
detrimental to the interest of Bonny Kingdom.

sponsorship of same in the bid to have an advantage in the elections in Bonny
Kingdom.
3. That
all political matters must remain and political, and shall not extend to
individual rights to brotherly relationship.

In
consideration of the above, the All Progressives Congress, Bonny Chapter, urges
the general public to disregard any other information being released by the
PDP, as it is intended to hoodwink them and turn them against the APC.
The All
Progressives Congress, Bonny Chapter views the action of the PDP, Bonny as
totally disrespectful to the Amanyanabo, the Chiefs and Titled Citizens who
have made rigorous efforts to ensure a peaceful coexistence and mutual
interplay between the APC and PDP in Bonny.
By the
actions of the PDP, Bonny which is totally against the peace meeting and the
undertaking signed thereafter by representatives of the APC and PDP in Bonny,
as well as stakeholders, the APC respectfully calls on the traditional
institution to take note of who actually were the perpetrators of the violence
that led to the cancellation of the February 23 presidential and national
assembly elections in Bonny.
Signed
for APC, Bonny Chapter:
Hon.
George Fubara Tolofari, Leader.
Amasenibo
(Hon.) Israel Waribo Pepple, Chairman.
