The Rivers State Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru, on
Monday asked the Peoples Democratic Party faithful
to fight and redeem the state from the All
Progressives Party, even if it means shedding their
blood. Mr. Ikuru made the call in Port Harcourt to a crowd
of PDP supporters who turned out to welcome him
after his defection from the APC.
“It is necessary for the sake of your fathers, for the
sake of your mothers, for the sake of your brothers
and sisters and for the sake of your children, every
Rivers man must stand up to fight this evil among
us,” Mr. Ikuru said. “If it demands your blood, so be
it.”
The deputy governor also told the PDP supporters
how his friend and boss, Governor Rotimi Amaechi,
deceived him into leaving the party in 2013.
According to him, Mr. Amaechi made him to believe
that joining the APC was the new order.
“I was deceived, I must confess,” he said. ” I was told
that it was a new order. I did not know that it was all
about the ambition of an individual. I say big thank
you to you all PDP members because, when I was
deceived out of PDP, if all of you had not stood your
ground to keep the party alive, where would I have
returned to?
“In our darkness, we thought that we were in the
right place. What is happening in Rivers State today
will haunt all of us if we allow it to go unchallenged.”
He announced that his supporters across the 23 local
government areas of the state have agreed to dump
the ruling APC.
Mr. Ikuru, who said genuine peace will return to the
state after the March 28 presidential election,
introduced some of his top supporters who defected
with him including the former Deputy Mayor of Port
Harcourt City, Victor Ere, APC Secretary in Andoni
Local Government Area, Kingston Silvanus, amongst
others.
Meanwhile, a source has told PREMIUM TIMES that
Mr. Ikuru has started moving things out of his official
quarters barely two days after he dumped APC for
the PDP.
The embattled deputy governor is said to have
started moving his personal belongings from his Old
GRA official residence on Monday night.
According to the source, Mr. Ikuru is moving to his
personal house located in Eagle Island, one of the
water locked areas of Port Harcourt city.
“We saw people moving things out of the residence in
the night and it is likely he is moving back to his
personal house,” the source said.
The deputy governor might have decided to flee from
his official residence to forestall being thrown out by
Governor Amaechi.
Mr. Amaechi was sacked from his official quarters in
2007 when he would not yield to the PDP’s decision to
replace him with his cousin, Celestine Omehia, as the
PDP governorship candidate for that year’s election.
Mr. Amaechi was the speaker of the state house of
assembly from 1999 – 2007 and was tipped to take
over from the then Governor, Peter Odili.
However, during the PDP’s South-South zonal rally in
Port Harcourt, former President, Olusegun Obasanjo,
told party faithful that the gubernatorial ticket Mr.
Amaechi won during the primary had a “K-leg”.
Instead of handing Mr. Amaechi the party’s flag, it
was given to his cousin, Mr. Omehia, in a move that
pitched the two brothers against each other.
When Mr. Amaechi challenged the party’s decision in
court, his boss, Mr. Odili, immediately ordered
security operatives to throw his personal belongings
out of the speaker’s official residence.
The spokesperson for the Deputy Governor, Edna
Alete, declined comment when PREMIUM TIMES
contacted on whether or not Mr. Ikuru has moved
out of his official residence. www.saharareporters.com/2015/03/24/spill-blood-if-necessary-decamped-rivers-state-deputy-governor-ikuru-urges-rivers-people

“It is necessary for the sake of your fathers, for the
sake of your mothers, for the sake of your brothers
and sisters and for the sake of your children, every
Rivers man must stand up to fight this evil among
us,” Mr. Ikuru said. “If it demands your blood, so be

APC and its false Propaganda.
I don't see anything wrong with the Quoted statement Tele Ikuru said.

My understanding
We must stand and fight evil. Fighting evil does not mean spilling blood.
And in fighting evil you may have to make sacrifices even with your life.

Tele, welcome to PDP
