Rivers State: APC members not decamping to PDP
By Nwaorgu Faustinus
The Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC,
said its attention has been drawn to a spate of crass propaganda being churned
out from the charlatanic stable of the PDP Chairman in Rivers state, Bro Felix
Obuah and his media assistant, Jerry Needam falsely claiming that APC members
are set to decamp to the PDP in Rivers State.
The APC in a statement said it was not surprised at the
level of puerile lies being thrown into public space by a bunch of fellows who
are yet to understand that the propaganda train has since left the primitive
station where they sadly find themselves languishing.
“The most important reason why no APC member will ever join
the PDP in Rivers State remains that the leadership of the PDP have blood on
their hands. To dine and drink with such characters, no matter the compelling
reasons, will amount to sharing in the toga of guilt that is still hanging on
their necks. PDP leaders know this” the party stressed.
The statement reads: “Another reason no genuine member of
APC will join the PDP is that APC members do not worship money or ready to dine
with the devil irrespective of how long the spoon may be. It is important to
remind the PDP that APC remains the party in power at the federal level and
that is instructive.
“Again, it is pertinent to sound a reminder to the PDP that
it is adherence to principles and values that led to the mass movement of our
members into the APC in the first place and we still uphold and cherish those
principles and values. We will never trade them away for a pot of porridge.
“The PDP should start cracking their brains on how to carry
along the insatiable and greedy bunch in their fold. We are convinced that with
Abuja beyond the reach of Rivers PDP, it is only a matter of time before the
bubble bursts. A fight over the spoil of office by the PDP in Rivers State is a
waiting time bomb. It is not whether or how the cookie will crumble, it is when
it will crumble. Therefore, APC members are quite aware that the State
resources will be unable to cater for the obscenely insatiable appetite of the
characters in the PDP fold and therefore will never consider joining the PDP
for any reason. That will amount to moving from hope to hopelessness.
“The APC has also observed that Bro Felix Obuah, through his
media assistant Jerry Needam, released a statement accusing the 2015
Governorship Candidate of the APC in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku Peterside of
making inciting statement at an APC stakeholders’ meeting last Saturday. This
accusation flies in the face as Dr. Dakuku Peterside does not engage in use of
incendiary language and this is evident in his statement reacting to the
Supreme Court judgment of last Wednesday. Felix Obuah and Jerry Needam were
probably sleepwalking at the time they made their unfounded allegations. If
they have properly woken up then they may seek for the statement made by Dr.
Dakuku Peterside at the said meeting.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the APC wishes to state that
Dr. Dakuku Peterside shows comportment, grasp and decency in his choice of
words at all times. Felix Obuah should know that those who spew inciting words
dwell in his party.
“The APC is aware that the PDP Chairman and his media
assistant enjoy engaging in tale-by-moonlight propaganda that belongs to the
18th Century. We wish them good luck in their journey back to the Stone Age.”
