Rivers APC is a confused bedfellows ---- PDP

By -
(Nigeria) Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described Governor Rotimi Amaechi of the state and his stooges, which it described as being foisted as All Progressive Congress, APC leaders as a bunch of confused bedfellows with conflicting mindsets.
PDP in a statement by the Special Adviser, Media to the state party Chairman, Mr Jerry Needam on Thursday in Port Harcourt, said that the APC before now posited that Chief OCJ Okocha, SAN was responsible for the judicial crisis in the state but is now blaming the problem on the Minister of State for Education and PDP Leader, Chief Nyesom Wike.
The PDP also condemned “The APC for denying its earlier position that Amaechi’s refusal to conduct council elections in the state was out of fear of losing to the PDP which it has corroborated by accepting that the reason was the fear of Wike and not the PDP as if there is a difference between the PDP as a party and its leadership.
“Another pointer to the confusion rattling the APC in its online statement dated September 23, 2014, is the sharp contrast between the party and Governor Amaechi over the council elections in the state.
“While Amaechi had announced while swearing in his new caretaker committees that council elections will be held after the general elections next year, the APC is hitching the conduct on the National Judicial Council, NJC, giving up on Justice Daisy Okocha to enable Amaechi appoint his choice of Chief Judge of the state.
“From all this, it’s obvious that the problem of the APC is self-inflicted and is not likely to end except it begins to look inward and stop beating about the bush,” the PDP said.
