Swift Reporters recently came across a publication
by an online portal; www.allxclusiveinfo.com
saying that “Rivers APC Crisis: Dakuku and Semenitari in Fresh Showdown”.
In the publication, the author said that “Dakuku
camp of the All Progressive Congress (Rivers State Chapter) has blasted the M.D
of the NDDC Mrs. Ibim Semenitari for accompanying the Senate Committee to visit
the state Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike”
In a Swift reaction to the publication, Dakuku Peterside
responded by saying “this is a fabrication from the pit of hell concocted by
PDP people who for the blood they have shed and lies that is their way of life
is headed for hell. I thought this lie is too cheap to be taken seriously. You
know the APC is a family and a water tight team & what they are imagining
is not possible. Give it the treatment this piece of trash deserves.”
When Swift Reporters contacted the
Senior Special Aide On Media And Public Affairs To The State Chairman Of APC, Rivers
State Chapter, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze said “I need not to get to anybody to
clarify this as this is a poor hatchet job by Wike and PDP propaganda Team to
cause disaffection among the Rivers APC Leadership but we are too big to be
deceived by such a fallacious and wicked falsehood from the pit of hell. There
is no atom of truth in the report as both Dakuku and Ibim and other APC leaders
are united in the struggle to put things right in the politics of Rivers State.
He went further to state that “we should try to differentiate
between Ibim Semenitari the MD of NDDC and Ibim Semenitari the APC Chieftain.
As the MD of NDDC, she has a statutory role that covers the six states of South
South that includes Rivers State plus the two States of Abia, Imo in South East
and one other State in the South West. Today, the Senate is probing the Sixteen
years of NDDC stewardship and if they are to visit the Rivers State Governor on
the issues pertaining to NDDC, are we saying that Ibim should not accompany
them because she is an APC Chieftain while most of the Senate Committee members
are also APC members?”
“Ibim, the APC chieftain knows the challenges facing
us as a party been one of the arrow heads of this struggle and one of the most
persecuted among us. In case we have forgotten, she was the only fellow invited
to appear before the then dreaded NSA to GEJ when the heat was on us at Rivers
State. Apart from this, she was a target at the Okirika rally attack. Knowing
how dreadful she (was) and is, her house in Port Harcourt was attacked
immediately Wike took over as the Governor and her personal jeep towed by the Rivers
State Government just to publicly disgrace her. So if anybody is trying to
blackmail her from any reason such a fellow doesn't know how we operate in Rivers
State APC.”
“Let me also state that in Rivers State APC, we have
no Dakuku's faction or any faction pertaining to anybody but one united, virile
and vibrant Rivers State APC under the leadership of Amaechi. We have not
concluded the 2015 elections and people are already speculating about 2019
elections. Let me also state further that nobody takes any decision for the
party until such a decision is sanctioned and approved by the stakeholders of
the Chapter; talk less of people positioning themselves for the 2019 elections.”
Chief Eze said.
Chief Eze went further to say “Finally, not minding
d stand of anybody let me reiterate that both Dakuku and Ibim are united
towards ensuring that Wike pays for all his sins against us and the Rivers State
people so discard this trash by Emma Okah which you call a report”
