    amaechiHours after PDP’s decision to suspend the party’s membership of Executive Governor of River State, Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for violating the Article 58 1 (b), (c), (h), and (m), Amaechi reacted by soliciting prayers from the citizens of the state against frantic people who he claimed were after his life.

    The reaction of governor reflected the strong opposition from his loyalists and some party officials who termed this as a continued supremacy of lawlessness in the party.

    He further commented on the desperation of his foes by stating that they may even come after his life. He therefore vowed to his supporters that when they pray, they must pray for him also to remain alive.

    Amaechi complained for not getting fair hearing from NWC committee. He further rejected the allegations of suspending Obio/ Akpor Council Executive and not reinstating him afterwards as he claimed to not even suspend him in the first place.

    He was of the view that The Rivers State House of Assembly had the power to suspend Obio/ Akpor Council Executive, whereas The State Assembly has authority to investigate the case.
