PDP Replies Former Gov Amaechi's Threat To Sue...

The Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State has lambasted the immediate past state governor, Rotimi Amaechi over threat to sue the party.

According to the State PDP Chairman, Chief Felix Obuah, it expected the processes of the said suit to be served the party, and that Amaechi should apologise to the people for allegedly running the state aground.

Obua, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Jerry Needam, said the party would never be intimidated by anybody, including Amaechi on the matter.

“The litigation threat is diversionary in the light of shocking revelations, testimonies and discoveries of acts of lawlessness, fraudulent and injudicious spending of state resources by him (Amaechi) while in office being witnessed before the Commission of Inquiry into the Sale of Valued Assets of the State by his administration for which he was invited. But he refused to appear to defend himself.

“While not wishing to join issues with Amaechi until he makes real his boast by serving the processes of the said suit on the PDP and those he claimed he sued, the party would not be deterred by threats of litigation neither will it be intimidated by anybody, let alone Mr. Amaechi that should be apologising to the Rivers people for running the state aground for eight years,” Obuah stressed.

According to the state PDP chair, such steps will also afford the world the opportunity to determine if Amaechi was corrupt or not.

“The intended lawsuit by Amaechi, if true, will offer the party the opportunity to expose to the whole world the atrocities committed by the former governor, for them to adjudge whether Amaechi is corrupt or a saint as he is hoodwinking those who do not know him very well to believe,”
