Rivers AAC Suffers Another Setback …As Dep Chairman Defects To PDP

This is not the best off times for the African Action Congress (AAC) in Rivers State as its Deputy Chairman, Amezhinim midweek, has defected to the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
Atuma’s defection came three days after the party’s Deputy Governorship candidate in the state, Chief Akpo Yeeh also joined the PDP.
This is as the state Chairman of the PDP, Bro. Felix Obuah describes the decision of Atuma as heart-warming.
Atuma, while announcing his resignation and defection in Port Harcourt, tore his membership card of AAC, saying that his decision to quit the AAC was necessitated by his commitment to the advancement of the democratic interest of Rivers State and the peace of people of the state.
He stated that he could no longer in good conscience associate with the AAC/All Progressives Congress (APC) alliance, which only interest, he alleged was to unleash mayhem on Rivers people through the use of security forces.
“As at March 27, 2019, every arrangement has been made to disrupt the collation and announcement of the governorship and House of Assembly elections’ results, as scheduled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) between April 2 and 5, 2019.
“There are plans to cause bloodshed, leading to total breakdown of law and order between April 1 and 5, 2019.
“This is in furtherance of their plan to create a state of emergency in Rivers State, wherein Governor Wike’s term in office would have expired.
“The petition filed against the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of INEC in Rivers State, Mr. Obo Effanga and the Chairman of the electoral commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, by the defeated AAC’s Governorship candidate (Awara) contains the same false allegations with his suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja.”
He also claimed that the content of the affidavit sworn to by Yeeh was true, adding that from available data from AAC agents, the 2019 governorship election in Rivers was won by Governor Nyesom Wike and lost by Awara.
