The River State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah has again said that the confirmation of Hon Rotimi Amaechi as minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is a an approval of corruption.
Obuah in a statement signed by by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, said that the intrigues surrounding the ministerial screening of former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi and his eventual confirmation for appointment as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the All Progressives Congress, APC dominated Senate is an official endorsement of corruption and gross abuse of democracy.
This is the view of the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in reaction to the nod given to president Buhari’s choice of Amaechi as one of his Ministers despite the monumental allegations of fraud, looting of State treasury and unprecedented abuse of trust while he held sway as Governor of the State for eight wasted years, as contained in the Justice George Omereji led – Judicial Commission of inquiry and the Rivers State Government white paper which indicted Amaechi.
Bro Felix Obuah said for throwing the most revered rules of the Senate and the sanctity of the laws of the land to the winds for the singular reason to compensate an indicted party member does not only amount to fait accompli but also exposes the hypocrisy of the APC-led federal government that anchored its campaign slogan on anti-corruption crusade.
The State PDP Chairman who expressed shock that the APC Senates could descend so low as to fling away the report of the ethics and privileges committee just to have their way without minding the feelings of the people they are representing amount to formal approval of corruption.
He however, commended the courage of the PDP Senators for staging a walk-out, which is a historic statement that they were not and could not be part of the institutionalization of corruption in Nigeria and the legalization of criminality and scarification of integrity on the altar of loyalty.
Bro Obuah remarked for the umptieth time that Amaechi is only representing the interests of his benefactors and definitely not Rivers people as the State prefers to suffer persecution for standing on the side of truth and what is right to being eulogized and pampered as a chief servant in a slave house.
“While we look to the end of the APC-led federal government which has started on precarious feet of falsehood and deceit, we can only say that the end can never contradict its means which in this case, is suspect.
Our regret is the APC’s disservice and disappointment to the entire Nigerians whose hope of getting a better alternative government from the Buhari administration and 8th Senate has been dashed.
It’s an illusion to think that Amaechi and his like as ministers would perform anything different from what they did while they served in all other capacities”, the State PDP boss declared. Vanguardngr
