Rochas Okorocha

The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said it was  shocked by  the pronouncement of the Chairman of the APC Governors Forum , Governor Rochas Okorocha on the strategic importance of Akwa Ibom and Rivers State to his party.

 Okorocha, at a breakfast meeting with journalists in Owerri on Tuesday said the two state are important to his party and that the electorate in the two states actually voted overwhelmingly for his party now being governed by the PDP.

Now the PDP in Rivers State claimed that Okorocha said the APC is hell-bent on taking over Rivers and Akwa Ibom States.

The State Chairman of the PDP, Bro Felix Obuah through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam, said Gov. Okorocha’s revelation is an eloquent collaboration of a similar recent pronouncement by the APC Chairman in the State, Davies Ikanya that the APC-led federal government cannot afford to lose Rivers State.

The PDP State Chairman warned Okorocha and his fellow plotters to steer clear of the State as the Rivers people are prepared to resist any unlawful means to snatch the mandate given to Gov. Wike.

Obuah advised the governor of crisis ridden Imo State to engage his time to solve the myriad of problems he has foisted on the Imo people that have turned the historic Sam Mbakwe nation to a mere shadow of its glorious past.

“To before warned is to be armed, the PDP State boss stressed, calling the whole world to take note of those to hold responsible for any eventual mayhem that may befall the State and defenceless Rivers people.”
