PDP Chieftain Carpets Wechie

A chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State, Hon Isaac Okakwu, has joined in condemning the recent statement by the Executive Director of Integrity Group, Mr Livingstone Wechie, describing it as a ploy to ridicule Governor Nyesom Wike’s administration in the State.
Okakwu made the condemnation last Wednesday, in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt.
Okakwu, who is also the national officer of Grassroots Development Initiative  (GDI) said Wechie’s utterances can not in any way absolve the former Governor and Minister of Transportation, Mr Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi from the allegation of fraud against him.
“It is quite unfortunate for a man whom people have rated high, judging from the name of the group he claimed to be representing now speaking from both sides of his mouth just to ridicule the administration of  Governor Nyesom Wike, an administration that took bold steps to clean all the mess and rubbish by former Governor Ameachi’s administration in the state.
“Wechie, having eaten his own words after he took an oath that he investigated the matter of corruption against the former Governor Amaechi  and that nobody sponsored him, deserves arrest and prosecution”, Okakwu said.
Okakwu, who is also the publicity secretary of PDP in EMOLGA tied Wechie’s action to poverty, alleging that Wechie was sponsored by Amaechi to engage in smear campaign against Wike to exonerate himself from allegations against him (Amaechi).
He said that Governor Wike, as a lawyer, who knows the gravity of the offence committed by Wechie, could not have connived with Wechie or any group to tarnish Amaechi’s image with falsified documents, noting that the allegations against Amaechi were also proved at the court.
