The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) on Tuesday again raised the alarm on the inciting statements to cause
breach of law and order in the state allegedly by card-carrying members of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) under the guise of civil society organisations,
adding that it wants the security agencies take note of the situation.
A statement issued by the office of the state PDP
Chairman, Felix Obuah, and signed by his Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Jerry Needam, said its renewed alarm was against the backdrop of
fresh threats by one Jackson Omenazu, a close ally of the Minister of Transportation,
Rotimi Amaechi, and a staunch APC member during March 25 protest by the so-called
International Society of Social Justice and Human Rights and Advocate for
Justice at the office of the Director
for State Services (DSS) and the police in Port Harcourt.
The statement described as worrisome the
unrepentant penchant to set the state on fire by APC members and surrogates,
and more shocking, the effrontery to boast before the security agencies of
their intentions, yet the law enforcement officers tend to turn deaf ears to
such threats.
The state PDP recalled “similar alarms over pre-election
APC’s macabre songs and beating of war drums to which the PDP also raised alarm
but were not followed up, the result of which were the avoidable killings and
destruction of properties of Rivers people in some parts of the state during
the 2019 general election.
“We are calling on the security agencies for the
umpteenth time that Jackson Omenazu is only fronting for Amaechi and the APC
using the claimed ‘civil society organisation’ as an umbrella, and should be
put under watch and better still, investigated over inciting statements against
the peace of the state.”
