Rivers State governor and chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Mr. Rotimi Amaechi has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state has nothing to offer the people in the 2015 general elections as it has no credible candidates but corrupt politicians.
Amaechi stated this yesterday during an inspection tour of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Sports Complex, in Greater Port Harcourt City, in preparation for the October 25, All Progressives Congress (APC) mega rally.
The governor said, “Rivers people need to vote out PDP and vote in APC in 2015. The quality of candidates PDP is offering are people who are prepared to cart away state funds”.
Amaechi also condemned the call for another Ikwerre governorship candidate as his successor after his eight years in office and described those behind the propaganda as prophets of doom.
“There are people whose interests you must protect. Ikwerre people were not born into the state just to become governors at the expense of other Rivers people. If we cried against injustice when the Bayelsa people were with us, then Ikwerre people should not lead the onslaught to say that Ikwerre must always get governorship because they have the number to achieve that.”
On the proposed APC mega rally, Amaechi said, the mega rally which targets 69,000 APC supporters in the state was designed to showcase the popularity of the party in the state and prove that the APC is not a billboard party as widely speculated by the presidency and PDP to score cheap political points.
