APC is a deceit, Rivers PDP chair, Obuah insists
Rivers PDP Chairman, Mr. Felix Obuah with other chieftains
of the party receives the APC decampees with a standing ovation.
(Nigeria) The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Mr Felix Obuah has again described the All Progressives Congress, APC, as a political contraption whose objective is to emasculate and deceive the unsuspecting people of the state.
Speaking while receiving over 250 APC members who decamped
to the PDP led by Mr. Chukwuemeka Amirize at the PDP State Secretariat in Port
Harcourt on Wednesday, Obuah said he was not surprised at the continued exodus
of APC members into the PDP, as that was the price for eight years of misrule.
He praised Mr. Amirize who led the decampees to the PDP
along with over two hundred and fifty supporters for their right decision to
join the moving train of Governor Nyesom Wike, assuring that the decision would
be a rewarding one.
Obuah further assured that the PDP would accommodate and
help every Rivers man and woman to actualize their dreams and enjoined the
reminants of APC members in ONELGA to do the needful and follow their brothers’
steps.
“PDP wishes to commend Mr. Amirize and his teeming
supporters for their foresight and realization that APC is nothing but a
deceit. You have all done the right
thing at the right time. You are welcome
back home,” Obuah said.
Obuah observed that the decampees retraced their steps at
the right time, especially as the PDP swept the votes in Orashi Region at the
just concluded re-run election.
“I commend you all for resisting their intimidation and
harassment even in the face of threats of guns, Army, SARS, Police and APC
thugs. You stood your ground and secured
victory for PDP candidates,” he said.
The PDP Chairman, who spoke amid shouts of ‘Mba Anabara Agu,’
reassured the former APC members that the PDP would not treat them as decampees
but would reintegrate them fully into the large umbrella of the party, as
according to him, PDP is the party of the Riversman and woman.
Obuah went on to invoke ‘Holy Ghost Fire’ on all those
working to destroy ONELGA for their selfish interest, adding that the PDP was
now aware that one of those who sponsored the kidnap and beheading of DSP Alali
has been exposed in the person of Kachi Nwokocha, a chieftain of the APC in
ONELGA.
The PDP Chairman enjoined the decampees to join the rest of
the PDP family to pray for the government of Wike, as prayer was what is needed
for the Governor to rebuild the State which was destroyed by former Governor
Rotimi Amaechi.
Speaking after he was handed the PDP flag, Mr. Chukwuemeka
Amirize, said for him and the scores of supporters, the day’s event was the
happiest in their lives having realized they have been on the wrong rung of the
ladder all the while.
“We carried their brooms, we swept until we got tired yet
the house did not seem to be clean for eight years. That is why we have brought the brooms to be
destroyed by the PDP and cover us with the progressive umbrella that is the joy
of Rivers people now,” he said.
Mr. Amirize stated that the number of people which
accompanied him to the PDP Secretariat represented just 2% of his supporters,
as they spread across all four Wards in Egi Clan and other parts of the Local
Government Area.
Present at the event were PDP faithful, serving
commissioners, Special Advisers, youth leaders and royal fathers from ONELGA.
