The list of the 24 sins allegedly committed is contained in a statement issued by the party's state chairman, Davies Ikanya, in Port Harcourt, the state capital on Wednesday March 16th. Read the full list after the cut ...
1.
President Jonathan failed to muster the courage and political will in a
PDP-controlled National Assembly to see to the passage of the Petroleum
Industry Bill (PIB) in the over six years of his administration to
demonstrate his hatred for the Niger Delta region knowing that
communities in Rivers State will benefit from the bill.
2
The East/West Road, especially Eleme-Onne axis in Rivers State, was not
only abandoned but was a nightmare to travellers and commuters.
3 Bodo-Bonny Federal Road was completely abandoned just because it is situated in Rivers State.
4.
Refusal to refund to the State Government over 90 billion naira used in
the dualisation of Ikwerre-Owerri Road approved by late President
Yar’Adua and other Federal Roads in the State executed by the State to
ease the sufferings of the people of Rivers State.
5. Wickedly stopped Train 7 at NLNG Bonny and the loss of jobs to our people and revenue to Government.
6
Non-implementation of UNEP Report on the clean-up of Ogoni land despite
all the pleas by our people and the International Community – just to
punish the Ogonis and Rivers State irrespective of their overwhelming
support for him during the 2011 elections.
7
Lack of any visible Federal Government project in Rivers State
throughout his over six years as President of Nigeria. Instructively, of
all the states Dr Jonathan has visited in the course of his re-election
campaign, it was only in Rivers that he could not name a single
development project he initiated, not to talk of executing.
8.
Ceding of oil wells belonging to Rivers to Bayelsa and Abia states to
ensure that the revenue accruing to the State was reduced to nothing.
9.
Abandoned construction of the Port Harcourt International Airport after
completing other airports started at the same time with it. The airport
has thus become an eyesore and the worst airport in the entire world.
Pictures of the current state of the Airport attached explain the level
of hatred Dr Jonathan has for Rivers State and her people.
10.
Turning the Port Harcourt axis of Enugu-Port Harcourt Express Road into
a death trap. The pictures attached of the bad state of the road
explain everything.
11.
Posting and encouraging the excesses of the tyrannical Police
Commissioner Joseph Mbu during his inglorious days in the State.
12.
Supporting the impunity of daily killing, maiming of members of Rivers
APC by the Police under the watch of Dan Barure then Commissioner of
Police of the State
13.
Supporting every imaginable act of impunity in the State, including the
plot by five State Assembly members to impeach the Speaker in a House
of 31 members.
14. Seizing and grounding the planes of the State for no just cause.
15.
Harassing and intimidating the then Governor of Rivers State (Rt. Hon.
Amaechi) for no just cause and even supporting the splitting of the
Governors Forum into two just to ensure that Governor Amaechi, who was
duly elected by his colleagues, does not have an easy reign as the
Chairman of the Forum.
16.
Refusal to allow the then Governor of the state to construct the
Federal Road that leads to the Kalabari Kingdom just to ensure that
during the rainy season the Kalabaris will not have a road to their
place.
17..Refusal
to refund the State the money used to construct the smooth, beautiful
dual carriageway from Omerelu to Port Harcourt – particularly up to the
Airport Junction from Owerri in Imo State, which the Federal Government
abandoned just because Rivers State people ply that road.
18.
Refusal to refund the money used by Rivers State to construct the
Ahoada/Elele Alimini Federal Road and the interchange (Flyover) at Obiri
Ikwerre.
19.
Refusal to attend to the poor state of the Onne – Port Harcourt
component of the East/West Road. This is the road that services the Port
Harcourt Refinery from where petroleum products are supplied to the
South East and parts of the South South. That is the road that leads to
the Onne Free Zone and to Okrika, the home Local Government of Dame
Patience Jonathan, Nigeria’s former First Lady.
20. Turning a blind eye while his party continues to kill, bomb and disrupt APC rallies.
21.
Against the spirit of equity, unity, justice and fair play, Dr Jonathan
and his wife, Damee patience Jonathan imposed Chief Nyesome Wike a
cancellous fellow from the Ikwerre tribe as PDP candidate and Governor
of Rivers State, knowing very well that the former Governor, Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, was also of Ikwerre extraction and that with
Chief Wike as Governor that the Ikwerre tribe will governed Rivers State
for 16 years to the detriment of other tribes and sections of the
State. This shows that Dr Jonathan and his son and unjust party do not
wish Rivers State any good.
22.
Former President Jonathan released all the N25 Billion that accrued
from the principle of derivation from the five Soku Oil Wells that
rightly belong to Rivers State kept in reserve for Rivers State and
Bayelsa State were all paid to Bayelsa State his home State to prove his
hatred for Rivers State
23.
As a President, Dr Jonathan continued to under fund the NDDC to ensure
that Rivers State and in extension the Niger Delta region is not
developed, till the time he left office, over N700B owed by the Federal
Government was not paid to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)
24.
Refused to empower and fund the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs
initiated by the Yar-Adua’s administration. The then Minister of Niger
Delta once stated that the N41.7B due to the Ministry was not paid until
Dr Jonathan left office to ensure that 90 percent of the projects
initiated by the Ministry were not executed by the Ministry in Rivers
State and other Niger Delta States
Ikanya
said: “These, amongst other wicked acts against Rivers State for
reasons only to be explained by Dr Jonathan are why no PDP should be
voted for this Saturday’s poll.
He
then said: “For the record, Dr Jonathan is from Bayelsa, a sister State
to Rivers. He is married to Dame Patience Jonathan, who is from Rivers
State and having schooled in UNIPORT and lectured in the State before
joining politics; one would have expected him to be a key factor in the
development of Rivers State after the State gave him the highest number
of votes in the 2011 presidential election though not shockingly, he was
the greatest undoing of his party in the 2015 general election.”
