PDP Slams APC, Lauds Osinbajo’s Visit To Rivers

The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has lauded the Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo for his visit to the State last Thursday, to commission some landmark projects by the Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike despite the retrogressive efforts of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to dissuade him from honouring the invitation.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, state PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah, said by ignoring the call of the APC elements, Osinbajo has once more proved that he was the acting president of Nigeria and not that of the APC.
The statement, made available to The Tide in Port Harcourt, further noted that the acting president could not have been swayed from honouring Wike’s invitation having been in the state earlier, and amazed by what the Wike administration has been able to achieve in only two years in office.
The state PDP noted with regrets that rather than invest all the millions of naira looted from the state coffers into more meaningful ventures, the APC felt the best they could do was to dissipate unnecessary energy on media hype and publicity to misinform a more reasonable acting president.
It would be recalled that the APC trio of the state Chairman, Dr Davies Ikanya, Secretary, Chris Finebone and one Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, had prior to Osinbajo’s visit, mischievously paid for full-page advertorials in major national dailies, urging the acting president to put off the visit to Rivers State just to ridicule the state.
According to the PDP, the effort was “shamefully ignored by the Acting President, Prof. Osinbajo.
“This has once more brought to the fore the fact that the intimidated political acolytes and stooges of Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi are still living in the past when people were hoodwinked to believe outright lies dressed and packaged as real, which characterised the eight wasted years of the Amaechi administration as the state governor.”
