The party said Mr. Amaechi was punished for refusing to reverse his sacking of the executive council of the Obio/Akpor local government council of the state despite the resolution of the Rivers state PDP chapter asking the governor to do so.
“We are concerned as we believe this is political witch hunt. It is worrisome. The reason given is the suspension of the Obio Akpor council,” said Ibim Semenitari, the state commissioner for information and communications on Monday after the party's decision was announced.
“This is purely a legislative matter and done in accordance to the laws of local government councils in Rivers State.”
The state House of Assembly, controlled by Mr. Ameachi, suspended the leadership of the council weeks ago, drawing the wrath of the newly-installed leadership of the ruling Peoples’ Democratic party in the state. http://www.spammer.com/2013/05/rivers-state-says-pdps-suspension-of.html
