RIVERS PDP FLAYS AMAECHI’S ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State said yesterday that the celebration of the October 26, 2007 Supreme Court ruling that ushered in Governor Amaechi’s administration is in contrast with the position that his tenure started May 29. The party in a press statement issued by special adviser to its chairman Jerry Needam, argued that since Amaechi’s tenure actually came into being May 29, 2007, “as he claimed in the processes filed before the Supreme Court”, he would have celebrated same day rather than October 26. The party in the statement said: “It was duly informed that the state government doles out certain amount of money as inducement funds for all hired participants for the gathering being organized by the RIVLEAF”. “We consider that not only the celebration is out of place, but wasting such huge amount of tax payers’ money on frivolity and personal aggrandizement is what the public and relevant security and financial graft agencies should question,” the statement added. However, Rivers State Commissioner for Agriculture Emma Chindah and strong supporter of Governor Amaechi said the state government did not give out any amount of money for the programme. He said the constitution is very clear on court ruling as it concerns Governor Amaechi.
