The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday described as baseless, laughable, childish and mere ranting the defense of former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaech’s ministerial nomination by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP State Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah, said that “APC’s indefensible, laughable, and recourse to tendentious gossip in an attempt to protect the embattled former Governor amounts to glorifying corruption.”

According to Bro Obuah in a statement signed by his media aide, Jerry Needam, “with the historic woeful defeat of the APC in the state, which it ran to total bankruptcy and near collapse notwithstanding the huge internally generated revenue and accruements from the federal allocations, it is commonsense to fathom why they insist in remaining in office to cover up their loots.

“Failure to do so explains why the APC in the State and those strangers who assisted in the looting spree, are wrapped in total confusion that is ravaging the party, leaving their members disorientated as being expressed in hollow press statements and ranting.”

Obuah insisted that “Amaechi wouldn’t in anyway be an asset to President Muhammadu Buhari and lacks the integrity and morality to speak for Rivers people.”

According to the State Chairman of the PDP, Amaechi’s record of betrayal is evident and available and need not be repeated that he cannot in anyway be an asset to President Buhari.
