The APC made the allegation in a
statement on December 16, 2013, Monday, revealing also that the rebels have
resorted to sitting in the PDP secretariat after a botched plan today to sneak
into the House of Assembly.
The party warned the rebels not to
go ahead with their plot.
The party claimed it has “credible
information” at its disposal “to the effect that this inconsequential minority
in a State House of Assembly of 32 members have concluded to sit at the Rivers
State PDP Secretariat within the week starting
from 17 December, 2013 to impeach the Governor and announce the self-proclaimed
Speaker, Evans Bipi, as the acting Governor of the State”.
It said that imaginary crimes would
be used as an excuse by the EFCC to arrest Governor Amaechi.
“We have never seen where lawmakers
sit in a party secretariat to carry out any business of the House and we wish
to say in advance that any such action would be null and void and of no
consequence whatsoever. We hereby warn Bipi and his co-conspirators to exercise
restraint because there is a limit to rebellion.
“We also wish to call on the police
to promptly seal off the Rivers State PDP Secretariat to prevent it from being
used to perpetrate this illegality which, if allowed to be implemented, will
trigger crisis of unimaginable proportions in the state and beyond.
The APC claimed that Bipi, the
self-acclaimed speaker boasted to some of his aides and admirers that his
minority group has been directed to impeach Gov. Amaechi within 17th to 24th
December, 2013 as he is not to be allowed to do his Christmas event in the
Brick House (Government House) of Rivers State for whatever reason.
According to the APC, Bipi claimed
that his group has been saddled with the impeachment task to please its masters
in Abuja “not minding whatever consequences it will bring to democracy in
Nigeria and the people of Rivers State”.
