Rivers State PDP laments appointment of Amaechi as minister

The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party says the appointment of the former State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi [image above] as the Minister of Transportation will not make any meaningful impact to the Rivers people because he is a misfit.

Bro Felix Obuah, the State chairman of the party said this through a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam while reacting to the official swearing in of the new Ministers and assigning of portfolios to them.

 According to the State PDP boss, a ministerial slot for Rivers State given to Amaechi is a loss to the State because he (Amaechi) is at war with the State and does not believe in the development vision of the State Governor, Chief Barr Nyesom Wike. 

His appointment has put a question mark on the Buhari’s war against corruption and has given Nigerians a clear picture that Buhari’s war against corruption is targeted at perceived political enemies and opponents.

Amaechi, the State PDP boss noted, has demonstrated in his actions and conduct not to support or appreciate any development plan that does not have his endorsement or that of his acolytes which is not good for any group of people that desire progress. 

“Rivers State has an appreciable number of qualified, prudent and humble sons and daughters with burning desire to move the State forward and help promote the existing peace and love among the people which Gov Wike has graciously put in place in only five months in office.
