As the political crisis in Rivers State continues
to deepen ahead of the 2015 elections, a group
under the auspices of Rivers MainstreamCoalition has said that President Goodluck
Jonathan risked losing 2 million votes in the
state if the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
hierarchy went ahead with the alleged plan to
impose the former Minister of State, for
Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike.
The group, which is the umbrella body of 19governorship aspirants said there was sufficient
basis to believe that the national leadership of
the party may have been "ambushed by
powerful and stinkingly rich cartel of desperate
political collaborators hell-bent on installing an
Ikwere man to succeed Gov. Rotimi Amaechi. "
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, the
coordinator of the group, Prof. Israel Owate
said; “Things are close to time when their
expectations would come to pass; and violatingthis order with impunity to exclude other major
ethnic groups of Ijaws and Ogonis is a grave
risk the PDP can ill afford heading into 2015.”
He said, “It is on record that the gubernatorial
screening panel for Rivers State disqualified 12
governorship aspirants including topmost
contenders on "the spurious, trumped up
frivolous allegations that these aspirants were
not members of the PDP in Rivers State. Yetthese are well known party stalwarts who had
been issued the intent and nomination forms by
the national organ of the party."
They said, “There is ample evidence that the
imposition of Wike to succeed Gov. Amaechi
shall cause deep geo-political imbalance, trigger
negative reactions from other ethnic groups
and threaten the peace, stability and unity of
Rivers State, including the electoral fortunes of
the PDP.”He stressed that though the PDP still had highly
respected stakeholders across the state, who
could collectively defeat the APC in all elections,
most of the capable leaders had been excluded
on grounds that they refused to endorse
Wike’s ambition.
The coordinator said that the tragedy that
would befall the party by imposing Wike could
only be averted by ensuring that other ethnic
groups in the state were not extremely
incensed by the intolerable prospect of beingsubjugated to the slavery of having another
Ikwere person to succeed Amaechi.
It stressed that a handful of politicians were
determined to drive the state on the part of
crisis, stating that the group as the vanguard of
the people, had the higher sense of duty to God
and humanity to alert Nigerians and the entire
world of the looming disaster.
The group therefore called on President
Goodluck Jonathan to among others, prevail onthe party to adhere to the policy of rotation
and zoning of party and elective offices, and to
openly declare the zone that produced the
incumbent governor of the state was done in
Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Adamawa and Enugu states.
“We make bold to state that Rivers people are
determined more than before to take their
destiny in their own hands and are prepared to
make the necessary sacrifices to stop the
political desperados from bastardising anddestroying our economy and harmony,” the
group said.

This APC people are funny>>>> Amaechi been the fraud he is Sidelined the Ogonis and his right hand man Magnus Abe and presented his boy Peterside as the candidate.. He has invariably shot himself in the foot, cos the Ogonis wont support him and dismiss their chances of producing the governor next time.
