Two Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Rivers State, Mr
Ibima Olunta, PDP Chairman Ward 2 Abonnema and Mr Goodfellow Bobmanuel, a
PDP Councillorship Aspirant, ward 2 Abonnema, Akuku-Toru Local Government
Area, Rivers State were on Saturday night, March 14, 2015 shot dead by
supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC led by the Caretaker
Committee Chairman of Akuku-Toru Local Government Council of the State.
They were shot dead as they sat in front of their house in Abonnema, Ward
2, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area.
Reacting to the sad incident, the Chairman of the PDP, in the State, Bro
Felix Obuah while condemning the murder of the PDP chieftains in the area
called for the arrest and prosecution of the CTC Chairman, of Akuku-Toru
Local Government Council who led APC supporters to commit the act.
Bro Obuah in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media, Jerry
Needam, drew public attention to the reign of terror against PDP members
by the APC government of Governor Rotimi Amaechi in Rivers State.
The PDP accused the outgoing Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi of
using tax payers’ money meant for the development of the State to buy arms
for youths ahead of the general elections.
Bro Obuah regretted that governance in the State has collapsed under
Amaechi, and all projects abandoned and money diverted to fund the APC and
buy arms for youths.
The PDP Chairman, Bro Obuah condoled the families of the deceased and
members of the PDP in Abonnema, and urged them to remain calm as the party
would ensure that all those behind the dastardly act are fished out and
prosecuted.
