The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has criticized the state branch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for saying that the appointment of former Governor, Rotimi Amaechi as Minister of Transport was a waste.
The Rivers APC made the comment on Sunday, November 16, 2015, via a statement released by Chairman, Eze Chukwuemeka.
The statement reads:
“We
unreservedly condemn this unwarranted attack on the Honourable Minister
of Transport, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, by Rivers PDP and take strong
exception to the party’s description of Amaechi as a misfit.”
“Though
Rivers PDP is well-known for the use of gutter and uncouth language,
describing a Minister of the Federal Republic as a misfit evidently
crosses the line and speaks volumes about the character of Rivers State
PDP Leader, Chief Nyesome Wike, and his co-travellers in the doomed
party.”
“We view this statement not only to be
unfortunate but also a great disservice to Rivers state and Nigerians as
a whole. Instead of this drowning party with her members mourning and
apologising to Rivers people for wasting billions of naira on a failed
plot to stop Amaechi’s ministerial appointment, the party is unrepentant
issuing worthless and absurd statements that only serve to confirm that
Wike’s PDP is the number one enemy of Rivers State and her people.”
“Amaechi
is an achiever, and they believe in his ability to make a positive
difference in the transport sector, including ensuring the completion of
work on the Port Harcourt International Airport and other projects in
the state abandoned by the sacked PDP federal administration of Goodluck
Jonathan through the influence of Wike”.
Amaechi was sworn in and assigned the portfolio by President Muhammadu Buhari on November 11.
