PDP, Prince Felix Obuah has sent a passionate appeal to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to prevail on one of their own, Amaechi, to return all the looted items, as failure to do that will continue to present both the APC and the former occupant of the State House in bad light.
The PDP Chairman unequivocally condemned such childish and criminal action of the former Governor, describing it as shocking and embarrassing to the people of Rivers State, the political class as well as the APC.
Obuah noted, in a statement, that the massive looting of public facilities in the State, more of which is evident in the Government House, further exposes the greed, corruption and unpatriotic disposition of former Governor Amaechi, which the PDP has over the years consistently complained about.
The PDP sees no justification for former Gov. Amaechi to treat the people and a State that have fed him all his life the way he did, saying it considers the monumental looting of the Government House by Amaechi as unwarranted and least expected of a public personality, and that adding to the numerous reckless actions and misguided utterances that he chooses and employs as his leadership tools, this action has made him unfit and undeserving of any further public office.
The PDP listed the looted items to include, foreign furniture, (tables and chairs) Air Conditioners, window blinds, rugs, bullet proof doors, cars, electrical/electronic gadgets, safes, Jacuzzis, room facilities and other domestic utensils, including fridges, freezers, television sets, beds and beddings.
“It is therefore, our view as a responsible Party, considering the huge resources and inconveniences that it would cause the State to replace the looted items, in terms of fresh procurement or refurbishment of the broken items, to again urge President Buhari and other APC leaders to sanction the former Governor, ask him to return the loots and also charge him to apologize to Rivers people for the shameful act, which is responsible for the delay of Gov. Nyesom Wike to move into the Government House and the use of those public facilities by the new administration since after inauguration on May 29,” the statement signed by Jerry Needam said.
