The All Progressives Congress,
APC, in Rivers state has warned that it would sanction senior members of the
party allegedly attacking the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi and
the leadership of the party.
This was part of a statement by
the Chairman of the party, Davies Ikanya, and made available to newsmen in Port
Harcourt.
He said though members were free
to exercise their freedom of speech and association, they should be responsible
about it.
According to him, the silence of
the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike and the leadership of the party over
the attacks should not be mistaken for weakness.
He continued, “This class of
leaders in their quest for political relevance have not ceased on daily basis
to disparage the person and personality of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi,
erstwhile Governor of Rivers State and incumbent Minister of Transportation and
the undisputed leader of our party in the State.
“That the party leadership
decides to keep calm and quiet all these while shouldn’t be misconstrued as a
sign of weakness to warrant these ceaseless attacks on our party leader, Rt.
Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi whose single mission is to build a virile,
vibrant, cohesive, united chapter of the party capable of salvaging the State
from the hands of undemocratic elements currently pervading and exhibiting all
manners of bad governance inimical to the growth and prosperity of our dear
State.
“As much as we will not
discourage or hinder any member of our great party from exercising their powers
of freedom of speech, association or movement but such speeches, movements or
associations shouldn’t result to stunted growth of our party both at the State
and National levels.
“Let us for once warn and caution
those concerned not only to call themselves to order but direct their
subordinates and supporters to understand the limits they can be used to run
down our party or bring down all the efforts we have collectively put in
building this party to what it is today.”
