A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers state, Prince Tonye Princewill has described the party’s ward congresses held in the state on Saturday as a sham and that it is a weak beginning for the party in the state.
According to him, the congresses were stage-managed by the faction of the former federal minister of state for education, Mr. Nyeson Wike.
In a statement today, signed by his media assistant, Wabiye Idoniboye-Obu, Prince Princewill called on the National executives of the party to quickly resolve the Rivers State political troubles before they get out of hand.
“The congresses had already been done. The panel had already been settled and the electoral umpire had already been compromised. All their planning was in vain. “For them, the congress was just an opportunity for the masses to fight and destroy things. They do not care if Rivers people die as long as they win. We do. We care; and that’s why we stayed clear.
“The Rivers State Wike led PDP Exco don’t realize we are several steps ahead of them; none of the key aspirants were involved in the congresses. That should be a signal for the party. Our silence will speak louder than our words. In the end, PDP will both sit up and address this sham or they will lose us and loose Rivers state. Nothing is impossible.
“Our people say the difference between a small snake and a big worm is teeth. Neither Amaechi nor Wike will deliver Rivers state because even the grass will reject them. It’s time to start afresh. It’s time for renewal. And all of their money and more will never change that.” [myad]
