The Coalition of Rivers Patriots (CRP) has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) for unfulfulfilled electioral promises, manifest incompetence and resort to dubious predictions, blackmail and falcehood .
In a statement signed by the Public Secretary, Barr. Bari1cde Thompson, thc coalition said Nigerians no longer have confidence in the APC, and that the party was soon its way out of power at the centre. It further maintained that Nigerians were now wiser, having realised that APC does not have a credible road map to take Nigeria to greater heights.
It describcd as laughable a prcss statemcnt issued by the APC in Rivers State. showcasing as usual its traditional hallucination, but rechristened as prediction, that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State is destroying the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at state and federal levels.
The Patriots said Ri ‘ers people had not forgottcn in a hurry how Scnator Magnus Abc and other APC chieftains in the state almost set the state on fire a couple of days ago because of the party’s fraudulent non­elective congress, if not for the intervention of the police in the state, dismissing the APC as a balkanised party, lacking credibility.
The group said the lies that brought APC to power could no longer sustain them in office, the reason, according to them disappoin.ted Nigerian who now opt for the PDP, the party they have realised is a better platform for the transformation of the country.
The Patriots recalled that governance in the State was destroyed by former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, the current Transportation Minister, who did not only sell off valued assets of the state, but also mismanaged the procceds.
The group advised the embattled Minister to prove his allegation in court if he strongly felt that the documents being used to prosecute him are forged, adding that, no amount of blackmail will stop the state govemment from going ahead to ensure that those who bctraycd the trust of Rivers people did not go unpunished.
The group further said that while Mr. Amaechi inherited a nobust state, he left behind an empty treasury for his successor, Governor Wike, who he had boasted will not be able to pay salaries.
