Rivers State Governor and
Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has
again given reasons why he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Amaechi said he joined the
APC to protect the interests of Rivers State which have been neglected by the
PDP federal government.
He said the state suffers
neglect and victimization in the absence of federal government projects in the
state and the ceding of oil wells in the state to neighbouring states.
He urged people of the
state to be politically conscious and become agents of progressive change to
vote out the ruling PDP at the Federal level
Governor Amaechi spoke
while having an interactive session with medical doctors in the state in Port
Harcourt on Thursday.
Amaechi said APC holds the
light to the country’s rapid development. He also said the party is the
alternative to the PDP to reduce general impoverishment in the country.
He said one of the reasons
for his disagreement with the Federal Government is over the Soku oil
wells in Rivers State which were ceded to Bayelsa state and
which the Rivers State government contested in court.
