According to the Rivers chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party Campaign Council (PDPCC), a former Transport Minister, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, is a member of the ‘wicked’ conspiracy punishing the people with fuel and naira-swap problems.
Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, the PDPCC’s Director of Press and Communications, asked Amaechi to prove that he was not among those making Nigerians’ lives a living hell.
Nwuke said Amaechi was also quietly working for PDP presidential contender Atiku Abubakar, claiming the former Rivers Governor had reconnected with members of the PDP’s Rivers Presidential Campaign Council.
He said that Amaechi had been working surreptitiously and meeting with Atiku and other members of the conspiracy to deprive the country of much-needed monies in the name of politics.
Nwuke said: “Nigerians have been forced to go through the eye of the needle in search of money with which to meet their daily needs and feed their families.
“Unknown to most Nigerians, the vicious cabal that has made it a duty to inflict pain and suffering on the rest of us has done so deliberately in order to influence the outcome of the forthcoming elections.
“As a political party, we have gathered credible intelligence which supports the view that the leader of the APC, Rt Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, is a member of the cabal that has caused the naira crisis as well as the fuel scarcity and brought untold hardships on ordinary Rivers people and other Nigerians.
“Only recently, he reconciled with members of the Presidential Campaign Council in Rivers State as part of the carefully woven plot. We equally know for certain that he has been holding secret meetings with the PDP presidential candidate.
“We challenge the former Minister of Transportation to deny this fact. Let him deny that he is not one of those that are working with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at this time to undermine the genuine aspiration of the people of Southern Nigeria.”
