Please Come And Join Our Party..APC Begs Amaechi

The Action Peoples Congress,APC has asked Government Chibuike Amaechi  of Rivers State to please join its fold.

In a statement read by the party’s Interim National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande in Port-Harcourt during the solidarity visit by the opposition leadership, the governor was described in superlatives for daring to confront his party leadership.

According to Akande “Today, the unstoppable APC train, which has made important stops in Kano, Jigawa and Adamawa, has arrived in Rivers State.

“This is another important stop, because it allows us, the APC leaders, not only to invite Chibuike Amaechi, the courageous Governor of Rivers, to join the growing APC family, but to show our solidarity with a man who has succeeded in battling anti-democratic forces to a standstill.

“Let us be clear. Our party has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Governor Amaechi since the beginning of his travails. We have been unrelenting in our support because our party stands for justice, fairness and unfettered freedom. We abhor dictatorship clad in fake democratic garments. 

“We believe that the system of government that we operate does not make provision for an imperial presidency, who can neither be criticized nor opposed. That is why we told those who said the APC is crying more than the bereaved on the Rivers State issue, that we are indeed the bereaved anytime the rule of law is supplanted with the rule of the jungle; and we are the bereaved anytime a democratically-elected President thumbs his nose at the Nigerian Constitution. Or how else do we explain a situation in which a duly elected Governor, who is known to the Constitution as the Chief Security Officer of his state, is now being made to run his state side by side with the state Police Commissioner, who has been elevated to the de facto Governor by the presidency?,” the statement said in part.
