Abuja - The Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Dr Dakuku Peterside, has condemned the
alleged plot by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to sack non-indigenes
from the State Civil Service if it wins the governorship poll.
He
also expressed ‘horror’ to leaked plot by the party to withdraw all
non-indigenes on scholarship and take over their business centres if the
prize of oil in the international market did not stabilize before May
2015, thus resulting in continued reduced Federal Allocation to the
state.
“I am at a loss as to what non-indigenes who have lived all
their lives in Rivers State and pay their taxes did to warrant this
type of treatment. We thank God that with the support of Rivers State
people PDP’s wicked plots against the non-indigenes will not come to
pass as collectively we can frustrate the evil enterprise by voting
against all PDP candidates come February, 2015,” Peterside said on
Monday at Rivers State APC Campaign Head Office in Port Harcourt.

The
APC gubernatorial candidate, who spoke while inaugurating his campaign
committees, assured all the non-indigenes in Rivers State they would not
only have a rosy future if he is elected the next Rivers State Governor
but will play a very crucial role in his administration.
“I will
sustain the policy initiated by my mentor and leader, Governor Chibuike
Amaechi, to make the non-indigenes group the 24th Local Government Area
of Rivers State. This unit is to cater for the welfare and interests of
all non-indigenes in the State,” he said.
Meanwhile, Peterside used the opportunity to formally present his campaign described as a “Road Map to Prosperity.”
It
focuses on public sector accountability, security, employment
generation and wealth creation as well as social and human capital
development and empowerment.
Institutional and physical infrastructure development and food security also feature.
