The
Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says
it is alarmed by the report in the Vanguard newspaper of 18th October, 2013 entitled “Alleged
plot to kidnap Amaechi uncovered”.
The
breakaway PDP in an online statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Eze
Chukwuemeka Eze said the story which is yet to be denied since its publication,
detailed an alleged plot by some unnamed Abuja-based politicians of Rivers
State origin to organise the abduction of the Governor of Rivers State, Rt.
Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, with a view to compelling him to sign his
resignation letter.
According to Eze, “This is one allegation which should not
be waved aside because there already is a precedent, which is why it is
referred to as “the Ngige treatment” – a similar strategy having been used by
the political enemies of Dr. Chris Ngige to get him out of the way during his
days as Governor of Anambra State.
“Besides,
Gov. Amaechi has in the past few months come under such relentless onslaught
from his traducers that it would be foolish and too risky to rule out the
possibility of their resorting to more dramatic measures in their desperation
to illegally and unconstitutionally remove him from office.
“We, however, wish to warn that ‘kidnapping’ His
Excellency, Gov. Amaechi, and orchestrating his purported resignation would be
an invitation to anarchy. Rt. Hon. Amaechi has the mandate of the good people
of Rivers State to govern them until May 29, 2015 and nothing must be done to
truncate that sacred mandate.
“We appeal to all Nigerians to condemn this insidious plot
and advise those hatching it to have a rethink for the sake of our hard-earned
democracy.
“We
also urge the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency direct relevant
security agencies to investigate this evil plot and bring those behind it to
book. Enough of this impunity by selfish and misguided politicians who would go
to any length to feather their nest even if it would mean plunging the entire
nation into avoidable chaos”!
