PDP Has Capacity To Rescue Nigeria – Akawor

The Chairman of the Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Desmond Akawor,  has expressed optimism that the new national leadership of the party would work relentlessly and cooperatively  with  PDP Governors to rescue Nigeria from bad governance.
Speaking in an interview with newsmen in his office in Port Harcourt on Monday, Ambassador Akawor who said Nigerians were fed up with the APC, opined that they would support the PDP to return to power, having compared what their condition of living was when the PDP was in power at the centre and the current situation under the APC-led government.
The state PDP Chairman regretted  that Nigeria which was the fastest growing economy in Africa under the PDP-led Federal Government  is now the World’s Poverty Capital under the APC administration.
He said under the APC-led Federal Government, insecurity had become the order of the day, noting that no day passed without news of people being killed in parts of the country.
“There is no way PDP Governors will meet without discussing about the security situation of the country. Security is very crucial because  people are dying everyday.  Everyday people wake up in the morning to hear that 30 people have been killed in Kaduna, 20 people have been killed in Benue so so number of people in Borno. It is happening everyday, even yesterday 25 people were killed in Kaduna.
“I am sure you are aware that the country is in the intensive care unit, (ICU) and bleeding. Listening to our brothers from North East, North West and North Central, you will know that Nigerians are going through excruciating pains and these Governors and the National Working Committee are determined to rescue Nigerians from the problem of bad leadership”.
Ambassador Akawor asserted that Rivers People were happy and elated that the 13  PDP Governors were in the state, saying what is particularly unique about the visit is that they are in a state that is totally PDP.
”They are in a state  where the DNA of the people is PDP and the texture of the soil is also PDP”.
Commenting on the ban on the activities of artisenal refiners by Governor NyesomWike, the former Ambassador to South Korea said the move was a step in the right direction as it was aimed at ending the continuous emmission of soot caused by incomplete combustion of gas into the atmosphere due to the illegal activities of oil bunkerers, otherwise known as ‘Kpofire’.
