Rivers State All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to portray former Governor Rotimi Amaechi to be allegedly corrupt.
The plan, APC said, was being coordinated by top leaders of the PDP.
But PDP’s State Publicity Secretary Samuel Nwanosike described the APC as a party of propaganda.
He urged the public to ignore the party’s alarm.
APC alleged that the governor’s men had reached out to some people within and outside of the state “to initiate, formulate and contrive a false damaging report bordering on alleged corruption by Amaechi and circulate same to individuals and institutions in Nigeria and abroad to damage the incorruptible character and rising profile of Amaechi to blackmail and put pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari not to appoint the former governor into his government”.
A statement yesterday in Port Harcourt, the state capital, by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Chris Finebone, reads: “The international community and especially the Nigerian public know that Amaechi is one of the most forthright, transparent and honest leaders in the country today.
