On the 30th of July, 2015 the
Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, revealed in a press
release that it had uncovered an insidious plot by the PDP in which it
commissioned a team made up of persons within and outside the state to ‘initiate, formulate and contrive false
damaging reports bordering on alleged corrupt practices of Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi and circulate same to individuals and institutions within
Nigeria and abroad with a view to damaging the incorruptible character and
rising profile of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi in order to blackmail and put
pressure on President Buhari not to appoint the former governor into his
government.’
Our release went further to reveal that
the project which had the blessing of the acting national chairman of the PDP,
Prince Uche Secondus, was being driven by the likes of Rivers State
Commissioner for Housing, Barr. Emma Okah, the Spokesman of the Rivers State
Governor, Opunabo Inko-Tariah amongst others and would take the form of
sponsored publications such as advertorials, columns, editorials and OpEd
articles in major international, national and local print media; sponsored
personality discussion programmes on electronic media by public commentators;
it will also include sponsored special documentaries for television and radio
through independent groups and organisations.
We stated in that release that, ‘The APC also uncovered that those whom
the cooked up report will be sent to include the US Embassy, UK High
Commission, EU Commission, several international organisations such as
Transparency International amongst others. The forged report will also be sent
to local and foreign media houses such as the BBC [Hausa Service], Dutch Radio,
VOA [Hausa Service] amongst others’ for repeated publication and airing.
The press release concluded by putting
‘Nigerians on notice to completely ignore such reports whenever they surface in
the media in the name of fake and contrived individuals or groups.’
Quite unsurprisingly to the APC, the PDP
did not clearly refute the charge but only made some feeble denial.
However, exactly 4 days after on the 3rd
of August, 2015 the PDP plan rolled with a highly mendacious publication in
major national newspapers particularly the Sun and Thisday
by one Livingstone Nwechie, a known PDP member who disguised as Director,
Media/Publicity of a nebulous group by the name Integrity Group.
Mr. Wechie and his sponsors [PDP]
apparently forgot that Wechie was a member of the Media and Publicity Committee
of the Rivers PDP Governorship Campaign Organisation as published in The
Nation Newspaper of Saturday, January 24, 2015.
As part of the strategic plan to destroy
the former governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the
publication dished out totally fabricated tissues of lies that belong to the
very depth of hell aimed at deceiving and hoodwinking the gullible.
Last Friday, the next major item on the
PDP media terrorism scheme premiered when it released a highly noxious,
obnoxious and vexatious documentary, presenting the earlier publication by the
Integrity Group in electronic format. The PDP, Nyesom Wike and their hatchet
Television Station, AIT, have since been airing the evil documentary at least
twice a day.
To the APC, the documentary is all a
repetition of the same documentary terrorism the PDP deployed against General
Muhammadu Buhari during the campaigns for the 2015 general elections. It is not
surprising that the medium for airing the documentary is the same AIT that
angered decent Nigerians with documentaries that disparaged the present
President of Nigeria and his family members just to ensure Nigerians did not
vote for him.
The present documentary is simply aimed at
driving a wedge between the President and the former governor by blackmailing
President Buhari from having a place in his government for Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Amaechi.
The APC believes that just as the
blackmail against General Muhammadu Buhari was ignored by Nigerians and they
massively voted for him, so President Buhari [having himself been a victim of
PDP and AIT documentary terrorism] will discountenance the dirt the PDP and AIT
are trying so hard to pour on a honest, sincere and courageous gentleman,
Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, CON and accord him his right of place in the
new Nigeria he staked everything, including his life, to achieve.
