Don’t blame Amaechi over Rivers APC crisis – Peterside
The Director-General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) and prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has stated that the Minister for Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, should not be blamed for Rivers APC crisis.
He assured that names of the candidates of the party in Rivers would be on the ballot for the February 16 and March 2 elections, in spite of the court cases.
Peterside, the 2015 governorship candidate of the APC in Rivers, stated these yesterday at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, in an interactive session with reporters on his arrival from Lagos to attend the 80th birthday celebration of Sir Gabriel Toby, the father of Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, a former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
“It is not true that the Hon. Minister (Amaechi, a former Governor of Rivers State, who is the leader of APC in Rivers State and the South-South zone) is responsible for the crisis (in Rivers APC). I do not believe that this is the time for blame game. A lot of things happened and blame game will not help us in any way. So, even as the leader of the party, it is wrong for me to join in the blame game. Depending on where you are standing, people accuse different individuals of being responsible.
“No man’s ambition should be superior to the collective interest of the party (APC) and Rivers people. Not mine, not anybody’s own. Nobody’s interest should be superior to the interest of the collective. So, I do not believe in the blame game. I do not support it. I will not embark on it. Rather, it is for all of us begin to engage with people. Let them see reason why we must all come to the table and agree on the best way forward and indeed work out a way forward, so that we will go and take over Government House, Port Harcourt from May 29, 2019 and begin to change the narratives in Rivers State.”
“What has happened in Rivers APC is some sort of temporary setback. I am optimistic that APC’s candidates will be on the ballot. I am very, very optimistic. I know that the judiciary is an important component of the political process. You cannot talk about politics, without talking about the judiciary and the roles of the judiciary, but my confidence is that ultimately, this issue will be resolved and APC’s candidates will be on the ballot, they will run the elections and Rivers people will have options. They will choose the candidates of APC above the other political parties,” he said.
