Amaechi and APC in Rivers Must Account for its Actions - PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State has sounded it loud and clear that the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government in the state would give account of all its actions in government.

Secretary to the PDP Media Committee, Opunankubo Onkutaria said this in reaction to the planned conduct of local government elections on May 23.

Onkutaria warned that Rivers people would demand how the state resources were being spent.

“It is callous that while workers are being owed for months, Governor Rotimi Amaechi of the state is more concerned with putting billions of naira into the local government elections in disobedience to a restraining court order. We feel in the PDP that Amaechi wants to use this election to justify his financial recklessness and money spent on APC campaign machinery. I promise you that this executive rascality cannot go with impunity. He shall account for every kobo when the need arises,” Onkutaria said.

He further alleged that the planned local government election was a mere cover up for expenses incurred by the APC in the last general elections.

“The fear of exposure is responsible for not setting up a transition committee. And he is also not ready for the transition because up till now he has not been able to cover up for the financial misappropriation for the last for years. We want to assure him that when the new government comes on board and Amaechi’s government is found wanting financially or in any other way, of course he will be made to account for every kobo,” he said.
