‘The litigation threat is diversionary’ – PDP Dismisses Amaechi’s Suit

Must read

The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) has dismissed as diversionary, the law suit constituted by former Governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi against the Chairman of the party, Felix Obuah for alleging that he (Amaechi) embezzled state funds of about N80 billion and stashed them in foreign accounts he ran whilst he was governor.

Speaking on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 via his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, the River PDP Chairman said Amaechi should apologise to the people of the state for running the state aground.

Needam said: “The litigation threat is diversionary in the light of shocking revelations, testimonies and discoveries of acts of lawlessness, fraudulent and injudicious spending of state resources by him (Amaechi) while in office being witnessed before the Commission of Inquiry into the Sale of Valued Assets of the State by his administration for which he was invited. But he refused to appear to defend himself.

“While not wishing to join issues with Amaechi until he makes real his boast by serving the processes of the said suit on the PDP and those he claimed he sued, the party would not be deterred by threats of litigation neither will it be intimidated by anybody, let alone Mr. Amaechi that should be apologising to the Rivers people for running the state aground for eight year.

“The intended lawsuit by Amaechi, if true, will offer the party the opportunity to expose to the whole world the atrocities committed by the former governor, for them to adjudge whether Amaechi is corrupt or a saint as he is hoodwinking those who do not know him very well to believe.”
