Rivers State chapter of the Peoples  Democratic Party (PDP),  has warned its members against anti-party activities.The warning was handed  down in Port Harcourt  yesterday,  after a meeting of  the  party executive, held at  the party’s secretariat.
The  meeting  was attended by  the  anti-Amaechi  lawmakers and  all  the chairmen of the party in the 23 local government areas of the state.
Reading out the six-point communiqué issued at the end of the meeting  to newsmen, the state chairman of  the party, Chief  Felix Obuah, alleged  what  he called  “nocturnal fraternisation of a certain Board of Trustees member  from Rivers State, with the state APC leader,  Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.”
The party said   such   fraternisation,   under  the guise  of  “meeting  of  stakeholders  of Rivers  State,”  was   aimed  at  undermining  the party.
“The party hereby cautions the said BOT member  to desist  forthwith,  from attending such meetings that are inimical  to its interest,” Obuah  said.
The party  alleged  that  the BOT member,  contrary to its constitution,  summoned meetings,  purporting to screen governorship aspirants, thereby fanning the embers of disunity within its fold.
Obuah warned:  “We therefore caution all members of the party to desist forthwith, from attending any meeting summoned by the said Board of Trustees member, and/or any screening, for elective positions conducted by any person or group of persons, except as is properly constituted by the party.”
Regarding the 2015  election,  he said  the governorship slot had not been  zoned to any ethnic nationality, adding that all qualified members had  the right to aspire to the position.
The communiqué said: “The state chapter of the party has not and shall not zone the governorship ticket of the party to any ethnic nationality, senatorial district or local government area. Consequently, all constitutionally qualified members of the party are free to vie for the party’s ticket, to allow for the best candidate   to emerge.     “The principle of party supremacy and discipline shall be upheld, maintained and enforced by the relevant organs of the party.
Consequently, the party shall ensure internal democracy and provide a level playing field for every member seeking to contest any elective position.
Obuah  said  Rivers PDP  was  poised to reclaim all its lost positions  in the state in 2015 elections, adding  that the state chapter had endorsed  the candidature of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for a second term in office.
