Rivers PDP not happy over Amaechi’s comments about his opponents

Rotimi Amaechi
The Felix Obuah-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State has expressed its displeasure over what it described as the manner Governor Rotimi Amaechi has allegedly continued to ‘embarrass’ the party and people of the state by making misguided statements.

The party, which said it was reacting to recent remarks by Governor Amaechi at the opening of the Sixth Port Harcourt Book Festival at the Hotel Presidential, Port Harcourt, claimed that the Governor used the occasion to insult some elder statesmen and political leaders both in the state and the nation, including the Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike and the Acting Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Chibudom Nwuche.

The PDP in the statement said it strongly believed that the governor had never shown any disposition to genuinely embrace, initiate or ensure the return of peace in the state as his comments point to the fact that he was enjoying the crisis and confrontation with the state and the national leadership of the party.

The party, therefore requested “whoever has access to the adventurous traveling Governor to advise him (if he will heed such advice) to discontinue abusing the privileges he enjoys as the Governor of the State, and respect himself and office, and to give respect to whom respect is due especially at public events”.

Governor Amaechi had described his critics as lazy people who had failed in their careers, and were looking for means to get into the government house, with the intention of looting the treasury.

“I love Falcao and Cavani” – Wenger

Image
Arsene Wenger has reserved praise for strikers Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain) and Radamel Falcao (Monaco) and hailed them as two of the best in the world. However, the Arsenal manager feels Falcao is slightly better in front of goal, although Cavani is more mobile. The two strikers will come face to face this weekend, in a keenly anticipated Ligue 1 clash. “I believe it’s very difficult to make a difference because for me they are very similar. They have an animal aspect inside of them. Both of them are animals,” Wenger told Bein Sport. “I think Cavani is a bit more mobile, and makes more runs off the ball, and Falcao is a bit more of a box player, a bit more of a killer than Cavani. “But both of them, I love. And honestly, not to protect one or the other, but it’s very difficult to make a difference between the two.” Cavani has scored twice in the French league this season, since his summer move from Napoli, while Falcao has four

The battle between the Federal Government and the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has attained a new intensity following a 7-day ultimatum issued by the Presidency. Some of the striking lecturers have remained adamant despite the obvious waning in the resolve of their members evidenced by the withdrawing of some universities from the strike. The academic body has taken things even further by warning parents not to allow their wards resume in schools to avoid risking the lives of their children.
