Congress, APC.
A statement issued by the PDP this afternoon read, "The PDP is excited that Amaechi has been
confirmed as a serial loser who lacks the capacity to win any competitive contest and can only excel in incivility and loose tongues"
Most disturbing, the party noted is the billions of
tax payers' money the outgoing Governor spent on lobbying for the APC VP ticket at the expense of infrastructural development, provision of portable drinking water in the State and payment of salaries and allowances of civil servants and pensioners.
"The outgoing Governor Rotimi Amaechi plans to empty the State treasury and also debit the upcoming Government with huge debts that will take the life span of his successor administration
to upset.
"One of such plans, the PDP can authoritatively
reveal is the recent directive by Governor Amaechi to the Chairmen of the 23 Local Government Areas, whose tenure in office has elapsed access bank loans to the tune of Two Hundred Million Naira (N200,000,000.00)".
"The loan, the Party reliably gathered, would be
used to fund this year's cultural Festival, here
referred to as 'CANIRIV' and as Christmas package and freebies for members of the All Progressives Congress in the various LGAs and fun APC campaigns"
"The PDP condemns in its entirety what it
describes as criminal and unpatriotic of Governor Amaechi and all those aiding him to commit such financial fraud on Rivers People", PDP said.
In addition to the above, the Party said the
outgoing Governor has consistently squandered
public funds on Personal Political ambition,
sponsoring APC events and his failed Vice
Presidential aspiration. "It has also been established that the outgoing Rivers State
Governor is today a leading financier of Gen
Buhari's Presidential campaign, as billions of
Rivers money were used in organising Buhari's
campaign tours and travels as well as major
events of the APC in and outside the State, including the protest march in Abuja and the
National Convention in Lagos"
"Considering the economic and social implications these reckless and fraudulent financial activities of Governor Amaechi portend on the State and people after the life of this administration, the PDP believes it is time to act rather than remaining mute over an avoidable calamitous situation in the State".
"It is in the light of this that the PDP urges all anti graft agencies to urgently save Rivers State and the people from impending collapse in 2015, after Governor Amaechi has left office.
The Party also warns all financial bodies, including Banks and other lending institutions, not to honour any further applications for loans or borrowing arrangement by the Rivers State government under Governor Amaechi or any of its agencies, as such financial transactions will not be respected by the incoming Government in the State", the party added.
