Read the press statement below...

The Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Rivers State, Bro. Felix Obuah has condemned  the  alleged airlift and release of  N5billion to the Minister of Transportation, Mr Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi by agents of the Federal Government for the purpose of compromising INEC personnel and security agents  participating in the Rivers rerun elections.

In a statement by Pastor Jerry Needam,  Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah,  the party called on the international  community  and relevant  security  agencies  to  investigate the  release and distribution  of  the  said N5billion  which  appalled passengers of the commercial  airline as it was offloaded  into CBN trucks on the tarmac  of the Port Harcourt International Airport.

The party added that all those found to be involved  in  this alleged illegal trafficking  of funds for the rerun  elections  should  be  prosecuted.

It will be  recalled  that online q pictures  of  a commercial  airline offloading  N5billion into trucks of the CBN on Friday  night at the Port Harcourt International  Airport  shocked the world  as the funds were released on a day declared public holiday.

Pastor Jerry Needam, 

Special Adviser to the Rivers State PDP Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah.
