Rivers PDP Accuses Dakuku Peterside Of Diverting Approved Funds For Roads Construction …Also Queries Source of Massive Wealth The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC Governorship Candidate in the State, Dakuku Peterside of gross abuse of office while he served as State commissioner for Works. The Party in a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media to the State chairman, Jerry Needam said rather than use government approved funds for road rehabilitations particularly in Bori, Khana Local Government Area, Mr Dakuku diverted the funds for personal use. To make for the shortfall the PDP further alleged, Mr Dakuku Peterside inflated the contract values of the few roads that were constructed while others were poorly executed, skipping approved guidelines and specifications which left the roads highly vulnerable. The PDP said it has facts and figures to prove Mr Dakuku committed the crime and enriched himself at the expense of the people’s welfare and challenged him to a public debate if he feels the allegations are not true. Part of the misappropriated funds the PDP insists, accounts for the massive wealth of the APC guber candidate which is suspect and underserved of a faultless public servant. The PDP believes the only reason Mr Dakuku Peterside is seeking the office of Governor is to consolidate on this illegitimately acquired wealth and those of his sponsors and benefactors. The only way to stop this madness and tendency to corrupt is to vote against the APC and whatever it stands for, the PDP noted. It would be recalled that Mr. Dakuku Peterside has continued to deceive those not privileged to know him well and how he conducted himself as State Commissioner for Works under outing Gov. Amaechi as though he was a performer. The remnants of the poorly constructed roads and those totally abandoned in Bori are still there for all eyes to see, the PDP declared. Signed: Jerry Needam Special Adviser, on Media to State PDP Chairman, Bro. Felix Obuah Tuesday, January 20, 2015.
