Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has been reported to the police by the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.

On Thursday, January 22, the PDP reportedly alerted the police and other security agencies over an alleged threat by Amaechi to mobilise people against President Goodluck Jonathan’s state rally at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium.

According to the state, the governor had, during a radio programme in the state, threatened “fire and brimstone” if the party went ahead to use the Adokiye stadium without approval.

In a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media to the Chairman, Jerry Needam, the party declared that it was no longer taking the governor’s threat as ordinary due to the governor’s hatred for the President.

The statement said: “The Peoples Democratic Party, Rivers State chapter wishes to draw the attention of the police and other security agencies in the state to the continued threat by Governor Chibuike Amaechi to mobilise his supporters against the PDP should the party insist on holding President Jonathan’s state campaign rally in Amasiemaka Stadium.”

“The party regrets that rather than issue-based campaigns, Amaechi has made it unmistaken to cast aspersions on Mr. President everywhere he goes for campaigns and as though these are not enough, has gone on Love FM Port Harcourt Radio live programme, Thursday, January 22, 2015 to threaten fire and brimstone should the PDP go ahead to hold any rally for President Jonathan in the state-owned Amasiemaka Stadium,” the statement read.”

The PDP, however, implored the police and other security agencies to invite the governor for interrogation over his refusal to allow an opposition party to use a state-owned stadium for its campaign.
