PORT HARCOURT: GOVERNOR Chibuike
Amaechi has said he joined the All Progressive Congress, APC because President
Goodluck Jonathan failed to address issues raised by the G 7 governors.
Amaechi who spoke Wednesday at the
Port Harcourt international airport, Omagwa assured that the APC would protect
the interest of all Rivers state people, adding that the state had suffered
untold neglect in the government of President Jonathan.
“Rivers State must know that for me
to have taken that decision, I had looked at the general interests of Rivers
people. I was not elected to lead Nigeria, I was elected to lead Rivers State
and I had looked at the interests of Rivers people and have seen that these
interests were not protected in PDP. I have seen the fact that we are losing
our oil wells in Etche, in the Kalabari areas and that the more they continue
to pilfer these oil wells, the more we will continue to lose our wealth”, he
said
The governor who denied any face off
with President Jonathan said he did not join the APC to spite the President but
to further interest of the state.
