The All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has hailed President Muhammadu
Buhari for fast-tracking the clean-up of Ogoniland in accordance with the
Report and recommendations of the United Nations Environmental Programme
(UNEP). In a statement signed by the Chairman, Dr.
Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, on Friday in Port Harcourt, Rivers APC said the clean-up
of Ogoniland by President Buhari, though not from the region, has proved that
he is a better son of Rivers State and the Niger Delta than immediate past
president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
“The news of President Buhari not only directed
the cleaning up of Ogoni land but also the fast-tracking of the process came to
us as a great relief particularly considering the fact that former President
Jonathan in demonstration of his hatred and disdain for Rivers State and her
people ensured that this exercise did not see the light of the day throughout
his regime,” Rivers APC said.
Vanguard report continues:
It insisted that “President Buhari has
demonstrated by this act that he is a better son of Rivers State and the
long-suffering Niger Delta than Dr. Jonathan and Chief Wike who, though from
the region, instead teamed up to ensure that the region was under-developed and
even ceded our oil wells to other states while also ensuring that no Federal
Government presence was felt in Rivers State throughout,”
It commend and congratulated President Buhari
“for this brave and patriotic step in cleaning up Ogoni land,” assuring him and
the National APC Leadership that it would do everything constitutionally
possible to get the impostor out of the Rivers State Government House.
This development once again
proves that Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was very right in mobilising us
and the entire Nigerians to vote for President Buhari during the March 28th,
2015 Presidential polls as President Buhari has proved that he is truly a
God-Gift to Nigeria at this particular time to right the wrongs, injustice and
wickedness Rivers State and Niger Delta suffered under the regime of Dr
Jonathan Goodluck.
