--Calls on Him, APC Leadership to Commend Wike’s
Security, Development Efforts
The Chairman, Rivers State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Bro Felix Obuah takes exception to the views of the
former lawmaker, Prince Chubudom Nwuche, on the security situation in Rivers
State, saying by virtue of his person and as someone who has been a key player
in the party’s activities, he should understand the dynamics of political
governance as it relates to issues of security.
The PDP flays Prince Nwuche’s misguided views on
the state of affairs, particularly security efforts of the government, saying
it is disappointing that his apparent quest for relevance and recognition in
his new and unsuccessful party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, has
eventually beclouded his sense of judgment, leading him desperately to suppress
facts and the truth on the uncompromising stance of the Rivers State government
under Governor Nyesom Wike in tackling insecurity all over the State.
It is obvious that Prince Nwuche’s statement on
security development in the State is that of a drowning and an uniformed
person, no wonder he continues to jump from pillar to post in search of
political visibility after losing relevance as a result of his failure to
adequately represent his people at the National Assembly and failed attempt to
secure the highly competitive ticket for the Rivers West Senatorial seat in the
Senate on the platform of our great party, the PDP.
A lost and irrelevant politician like Prince
Nwuche needs not be left in darkness, but made to understand the reality on
ground. For the benefit of doubt therefore, and for ingrates like Prince
Nwuche, since inception of office, Chief Wike administration in the State has
left no stone unturned in ensuring that the State is ridden of criminality and
violence. This informed the efficient and fruitful relationship between the
security agencies and the Rivers State government which has manifested in the
current peace in parts of the State.
The PDP chairman, Bro Obuah therefore views
comments credited to Chibudom Nwuche in the Nation, Sunday, January 24, 2016 page 56 that the PDP deployed violence to win the
elections, bought guns and armed bad elements, as absolutely false, misleading
and concocted to play into APC relevance, and to seek political appointment,
having worked against APC and Buhari during the general elections.
It’s on the strength of this also that the
Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, takes exception to
the accusation by Prince Nwuche, liking it to someone who, after spending
greater percentage of his early life learning a trade, remains an apprentice,
even while his mates have all graduated to be masters and leaders in that
trade.
The PDP chairman says, the Ekpeye
born-politician, who rode on the fame and support of Dr Peter Odili, former
governor of Rivers State to become the number six citizen of the country in the
capacity as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2003, a
position zoned to Rivers State by the party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
has since then been at the corridor of political power in Nigeria.
Expectedly, considering his many failed years in
political leadership, Prince Nwuche ought to have been among the best and most
experienced politicians the nation, particularly his Ekpeye people would have
been proud of and also depended upon.
Unfortunately, the reverse is the case with
Prince Nwuche, who, rather than exhibiting maturity and true progressive
tendencies, has continued to be retrogressive, unprepared and unfit to be
entrusted with the peoples’ mandate.
Bro Obuah is aware of the zero tolerance policy
and actions of the Rivers State government on criminal tendencies and acts of
violence in the State which Governor Wike received our commendation. The Party
remains proud and supportive of the governor’s efforts in the development of the
State and also reiterates its confidence in the ability of Governor Wike in
transforming all parts of the State, including Ekpeye land.
The PDP therefore, calls on the diminishing
Abuja politician, Prince Nwuche, and his APC propagandists to stomach their
pride and tell the world the truth about the astronomical development successes
of the PDP government under governor Wike in Rivers State, rather than
deliberately painting the State black for selfish ambition.
Furthermore, the Party urges Prince Chibudom
Nwuche and the APC leadership to join other well-meaning Rivers people and
Nigerians in commending the Governor and the PDP in sustaining peace and
security in a multi-ethnic, populous and fast growing industrial and commercial
State like Rivers and to stop peddling lies and taking actions aimed at causing
anarchy in the area.
