The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has warned the Acting National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Uche Secondus, to leave the
former Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, alone or be ready to be
exposed.
The state APC's warning was contained in a statement by the State Chairman,
Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, in Port Harcourt on Sunday.
The party was reacting to Secondus' verbal attack on the ex-governor on
Wednesday while receiving the report of the Senator Ike Ekweremadu-led
committee on how to reform and reposition the former ruling party for the
2019 general elections.
APC noted that the PDP had not been able to recover from the shock of
Amaechi's departure from the party (PDP), telling Secondus to desist from
further attacking the APC leader in the state.
Rivers APC said, "We appreciate the agony of Prince Uche Secondus, one of
the key architects of PDP's loss of power after 16 years of misrule.
"We also understand his frustration in his very difficult assignment of
reinventing PDP, a party the death of which he and some other tin gods
caused by frustrating Amaechi and other progressives who were the souls of
PDP out of the party.
"It is a pity that PDP has yet to recover from the shock of the departure of Rt.
Hon. Chibuike Amaechi from the party. We will like to caution him (Secondus)
to stop further disparaging of Amaechi as any further attack on Amaechi will
force us to alert the world on who Prince Secondus truly is. We wish to warn
him that enough is enough."
Rivers APC wondered why Secondus, rather than concentrate on the
recommendations of the Ekweremadu committee and addressing the issues
raised in the committee's report on how to get back the PDP on track, chose
to "play to the gallery" by asking President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate
Amaechi.
According to the party, Amaechi has no skeleton in his cupboard, adding that
the PDP chairman's cupboard is full of skeletons.
The state APC advised the PDP to come to terms with the fact that Amaechi
had left the party for good and had joined other patriotic Nigerians in a better
political party.
It noted that the APC was poised to take Nigeria out of the woods, which the
16 years leadership of the PDP had plunged the country.
