The Chairman, Rivers State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bro. Felix
Obuah says the Party is much concerned
over report of proliferation of arms and
ammunition, and recovery of large quantities
of arms, ammunition, other dangerous
weapons from political thugs, cultists, armed
robbers and kidnappers in the State,
commending the efforts of the various
security agencies in recovering the items
from their illegal users.
Bro Obuah explained that the PDP as a
responsible and law-abiding Party does not
have any link with the users and has not
procured any of such items for anyone, as it
does not have political thugs that it
sponsors.
The PDP has not minced words about its
disapproval of use of arms or any lethal
weapons in political activities in the State or
anywhere else.
In fact, the PDP and Governor's
Wike have
continued to demonstrate their abhorrence
of criminals, kidnappers, cultists and any act
of violence and threat to peace of the
society.
Pursuant of this, the Governor has
commendably and without reservation,
supported security agencies to tackle
violence and insecurity of any kind in the
State.
It is also of note that the State’s 8
Assembly, in line with the zero tolerance for
criminality by the Governor, passed into law
the anti kidnapping bill, prescribing capital
punishment for those found guilty of
kidnapping in the State.
We Have Not
Recovered From
Opposition Against
Obasanjo - PDP
The PDP reiterated that it will continue to
distance itself from any act of criminality,
and will uphold its averred principle of No to
violence, No to thuggery, and No to illegal
use of Arms and Ammunition.
“We therefore call on the relevant security
authorities to be more proactive on efforts
to recover these deadly items from wrong
hands for our State and the society to be
free, peaceful and safe”.
The PDP also urged the Police to
commence investigation into the call by Mr
Abe and the APC leaders for their
supporters to take up arms in the State.
