The New Peoples
Democratic Party (nPDP) says it received with joy the news of the Supreme Court’s
dismissal of the suit instituted by Sir Celestine Omehia, seeking the ouster of
Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
According to the faction,
“Omehia has been in court since the Supreme Court removed him shortly after he
erroneously assumed office as Rivers State governor in 2007, declaring Amaechi
to be the rightful occupant of the Brick House Government House. Strangely,
Omehia has refused to end the litigation process despite Amaechi having
finished that tenure and winning a re-election thereafter”.
Continuing, the splinter
PDP in a release by its National Spokesperson Eze Chukwuemeka Eze said, “We
are, however, not surprised by his attitude, for apart from being desperate for
power, Omehia has allowed himself to become a tool in the hands of the acting
Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, who has devoted enormous resources
towards the destabilization of the Amaechi administration just to please his
paymasters in Abuja”.
While congratulating Gov.
Amaechi on his latest victory, the group appealed to Omehia, Wike and others to
allow peace reign.
“While we congratulate
Governor Amaechi on this latest victory, we at the same time wish to appeal to
Omehia, Wike and their co-travelers in this
futile and macabre dance to correctly read the handwriting on the wall and give
peace a chance as there is a limit to every plot. If they truly love Rivers
State as they claim, they should call the Grassroots Development Initiative
(GDI), which they have been using to cause confusion in Rivers State, to order
and allow peace to reign once again in the state to enable Governor Amaechi
work with less distractions and concentrate on delivery the democracy dividends
for which his administration is well known”.
“Since the resolve of
Chief Wike to fight the structure he assisted to build and instead gave birth
to GDI which has done him and those he assume to be fronting for much harm than
good and has put Rivers State under tension since then, appeal to allow calm to
once again prevail in Rivers State becomes imperative at this juncture.
“That Gov Amaechi has
done more than any other Governor that have governed Rivers State in terms of
providing quality education, quality health services, road and Institutional
infrastructure etc is not in doubt and distracting him the way Wike and his
people are doing when he is eager to provide more dividends of democracy is not
the best way to assist in the growth and development of Rivers State. His tenure
ends by 2015 and God has in several ways points to us that this man is His and
no amount of blackmail and evil machinations against him will prevail so let
him be for once for the peace and growth of our State.
“We salute Gov Amaechi
not minding all these distractions. He has continued to prove his mettle as a
good leader of our people, and has attracted all manner of awards and
recognition to him and Rivers State as a whole in the face of unwarranted
persecution and political victimization” Eze enthused.
