In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, on Friday, the PDP, accused Amaechi of inciting the public against the Federal Government and the Rivers State police commissioner, Mr. Joseph Mbu.
“Of particular concern is the manipulation of the media by the Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Governor Chibuike Amaechi to mislead Nigerians and create an impression that he was barred by the police and the Federal Government from entering the Rivers State Government House, Port Harcourt.
“This distortion of facts is totally unacceptable and unbefitting of a state governor. It is indeed condemnable that Governor Amaechi has continued to distort facts and interfere in the lawful activities of the police and security operatives ensuring law and order in Rivers State only to manipulate the media and portray himself as the victim,” the statement said.
