…Charges Police and DSS to arrest and prosecute them.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has expressed displeasure at the utterances of a group of the All Progressives Congress (APC) apparently loyal to the former Governor of Rivers State and Minister for Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
The group had in a viral video threatened the peace of the state should Ameachi their leader not have his way in the current crises rocking the Rivers APC.
We wonder why the factional leader of APC will condescend to the level of allowing his supporters threaten the Government and people of the state over their party’s self-inflicted crises.
The utterences by the APC group is reprehensible and should have no place in a democracy. We call on the APC to unlearn this extremist approach and relearn decent and people centric politics as Rivers people would not accept extremism in the name of politics.
We recall that on May 11, 2018, in what seemed like a scene out of a movie the Rivers State Judiciary Complex, Port Harcourt was held hostage and vandalised amid serious gunshots as supporters of this extremist APC faction tried to stop the courts from sitting.
Rivers people will vehemently resist any further attempt by these miscreants to foist any brake-down of law and order on the state as we cannot fold our arms and watch the state get plunged into unwarranted crises by this blood thirsty group of extremists and their self-styled Emperor.
We advise our youths not to allow themselves to be used as agents of crises and call on Rivers people to be vigilant and report any suspicious character or activity to the authorities. We also appeal to the Commissioner of Police and the Director Department of State Security to avert this crises by arresting and prosecuting these extremists and their sponsors.
Hon.Sydney Tambari Gbara,
Publicity Secretary, Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party.
