Defection: Amechi Deputy Dumps APC, says it is Party of rebels, insurgents,anarchists

Rivers State Deputy Governor, Mr. Tele Ikuru has said the
APC is a party of rebels, insurgents and
anarchists, clothed in robes of pretence
and deceit.

In an address entitled “A Call On The
Conscience Of The People of Rivers State”,
the Deputy Governor said the address was
delivered out of the fullness of his heart.

Ikuru said: “Ever since, as the true nature and
motives of APC are unveiled, I have
continued to twist and turn in extreme
mental and emotional agony.
“The more I struggle to belong, the more
the Rivers man in me rejects the APC.

“After carefully studying, interacting and
analyzing the leadership of the party, I
have come to the sad conclusion that the
APC is a party of rebels, insurgents and
anarchists, clothed in robes of pretence
and deceit. APC is a party founded on
deception and it thrives on unholy
propaganda and falsehood”.

Mr Ikuru said his decision was centred on
the fact that he would not want to be listed
as part of a generation that would witch
hunt and hound down the very first ever
President from the region, apparently
referring to the incumbent President
seeking re-election in the presidential
election that will hold on March 28.

“I wash my hands off this treachery and in
the light of the above, I wish to urge all My
Supporters, the Good People of Rivers State
to join hands with other well-meaning
Nigerians to massively vote for President
Goodluck Jonathan and the
Transformation Agenda that has brought
so much relief and succour to the greatest
number of Nigerians.

“I also urge all Rivers People to vote for
Mr Nyesom Wike (CON), who has shown by
his antecedents, track records and
boundless capabilities that he will deliver
good governance to the People of Rivers
State,” the Deputy Governor said in his
defection speech.

Mr Ikuru has been Governor Chibuike
Amechi’s deputy since 2007 and has been
campaigning for the APC along with
Amechi until he declared his defection.
