Deputy Publicity secretary of the party, Mr Samuel Wonosike, who made the appeal
yesterday in Port Harcourt, said such step will help resolve controversies around the
allegations against the former governor.
He said that he was surprised that the governorship candidate of the All Progressive
Congress, APC, Mr Dakuku Peterside could say that some members of the PDP had
concluded plans to decamp to the APC because nothing was happening in the PDP.
Wonosike said that what the APC governorship candidate meant was that Governor
Nyesom Wike was not sharing money to members of his party.
He said the governor had vowed not to be reckless with public funds, noting that it was
why salaries owed workers by the last government were paid and repair work ongoing
on bad roads in the state.
“It is unfortunate that Peterside has come to agree that something was wrong with the
government of Amaechi. He said nothing was happening in PDP, so some members
want to leave. He simply meant that Governor Wike is not sharing money to PDP
people. This shows that this is what they were doing with state funds. It shows that
they were sharing money among themselves.
“We are asking Mr president to come to the aide of Rivers State by asking the EFCC to
investigate the administration of former Governor Amaechi. We will never share money.
That is why Governor Wike has paid salaries, cleared fees of foreign students and is
working on roads.”
“You can see that the governor did not abandon projects of the former government. He
looked at their usefulness and continued with them. He has said that development will
come to the state. Wike is a pragmatic leader. He is set to take Rivers State to a
height,” he said.
