Rivers State AAC Deputy Governorship Candidate withdraws from the 2019 Governorship Election, defects to the PDP
The Rivers State Deputy Governorship Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) , Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh has withdrawn from the 2019 Rivers State Governorship Election , defecting to the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP).

Addressing journalists at his home in Port Harcourt on Monday, Chief Yeeh said the reason for his decision is for him to join hands with Governor Wike to move Rivers State forward.

He said: "After due consultations with my immediate family, friends and supporters, I Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh, the Deputy Governorship of the AAC for the 2019 Governorship election hereby resign my membership of the AAC and announce my defection to the PDP to join hands with Governor Wike to move the state forward ".

He added: "I was the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the AAC in Rivers State up till today 25th March, 2019 , when I decided to withdraw my candidature and resign from the party with immediate effect.

"The March 9 , Governorship election in Rivers State has been lost and won; lost by my party, African Action Congress (AAC) and its Candidate, Engineer Biokpomabo Awara and undoubtedly and overwhelmingly won by the Governor of Rivers State, the candidate of PDP, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike ".
He said that despite the interference of the security agencies, Rivers people stood their ground and voted for Governor Wike.

He said: "The collated results further showed that contrary to the false claim of fictitious lead by the AAC/APC alliance, the PDP overwhelmingly won all the elections in 18 out of the 19 LGAs, culminating in the declaration and return of the party 26 House of Assembly Constituencies by the Constituency Returning Officers.

"This fact was confirmed on the 13th of March 2019, when INEC stated, as a matter of fact, that it had in it's safe custody collated results for 17 Local Government Areas as well as the declaration of the PDP Candidates for 21 State Constituencies.
"The outcome of the elections on March 9, 2019 clearly showed the preference of the people of Rivers State. Even the blind can see and the deaf can hear the echo that Rivers people overwhelmingly voted to stick with Governor Wike for the next four years to encourage him to continue with the good works".
The Former Deputy Governorship Candidate of the AAC informed that the Minister of Transportation forced him to sign an un-dated letter of resignation to be effective after their expected inauguration.
"I was forced to sign an un-dated letter of resignation as the Deputy Governor of Rivers State to pave way for Rotimi Amaechi to nominate another person as Deputy Governor.
"These were slavish conditions for any rational politician worth his name to accept, but I pretended to play along because doing otherwise at that time would have been too dangerous for the safety of my life, given Rotimi Amaechi's desperation to remove Governor Wike from office and install his stooge in the person of Engr Awara against all odds".
He said that though the AAC Campaign was never serious and never campaigned for the office of the position of Governor of Rivers State, Amaechi during the adoption of the party, said that he would fund the elections and do everything under the sun to give AAC victory at the polls.
He said: "Amaechi disclosed to us that he had already assembled security personnel drawn from the Nigerian Army, the Police, DSS and FSARS to provide adequate security cover and enablement for members of the AAC and APC to effectively rig the Governorship election and have us declared as winners on March 9 , 2019".
He stated that the adoption and promise to deliver AAC was with conditions that conferred de facto governance on the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
Chief Yeeh outlined the conditions: "First, he (Amaechi) must be the one to appoint 90 percent of all political office holders, including commissioners, Special Advisers, and chairmen and members of Government Agencies and parastatals.
"Second, he must be the one to nominate and produce all the 23 Local Government Council Chairmen and other principal officers of the councils.
"We, that is, Engr Awara and my humble self must consult and take instructions from him on all financial, policy and fiscal matters, as well as award and payment of all contracts and other financial transactions upon inauguration as Governor and Deputy Governor of the state".
He added: "As a practicing Christian, I have come to the conclusion that the actions and desperate attempts by Amaechi and the AAC/APC alliance to rig the Governorship and State Assembly elections in Rivers State are both morally and legally wrong, reprehensible and inimical to the collective interest of the people of Rivers State.
"The Almighty God will not forgive me if I continue to lend my support to Rotimi Amaechi's perfidy against the democratic rights of the people of Rivers State to freely elect their own leaders ".
He condemned the Minister of Transportation for unleashing violence on Rivers people in his failed attempt to rig the 2019 Rivers Governorship election.
The Former Deputy Governorship Candidate of AAC stated that he has informed Engr Awara in writing of his withdrawal and resignation from the Governorship

You are in pains

Sowore knew already that many people are unreliable that’s why he never say much about the happenings in Rivers

Sowore’s wisdom is absolutely unique

Couple with the fact that Rivers is one of the most politically desperate State in Nigerian with not too many people with integrity. I can not confirm if Awara agreed all of APCs agreement but the deputy is a desperate unprofessional individual.

If Awara agreed to APC terms he would have been declared winner by now and there would be no need for supplementary election in River.

Say what? So if that Biamkpolo guy come win nko?
Wike be playing ping ping with Amaechi's plan.

Rivers drama! Amaechi should give it up already, no matter how they drag this matter, Rivers people do not even know the AAC candidate!

Guy man!

Baba don see sey... AAC no get future. Even Sowore don shrink back into his shell after his disgraceful outing on Feb.

Sowore be like: "Mbok I cannot coman compete with Naija politicians. Leme kuku go and look after my propaganda machine--SaharaReporters".

And 2023 Ogoni man will come out to talk of Ogoni governor. We'll remind them of their serial betrayal.

How they destroyed APC, Accord and AAC.

Magnus Abe - Origin Ogoni to destroy APC
Barido - Origin Ogoni to destroy Accord
Akpo Yeeh - Origin Ogoni to destroy AAC

2023 Ogonis would start shouting marginalisation like they're the South-East of Rivers state.

Ogoni man have never been governor since the creation of Rivers state.

Ogoni man have never been deputy governor since creation of Rivers state.

Ogoni man have never been speaker since creation of Rivers state.

Ogoni man have never been chief judge since creation of Rivers state.

My question is how would Ogoni man become all these with their treachery behaviour as seen in this 2019 election, let them keep up with their sell out behaviour.

Dominant parties are taking note of their behaviour and they'll all see how it will manifest come 2023 when APC and PDP will over look the Ogonis in governorship ticket.

Let Wike keep using them for dirty jobs.

AAC deputy governorship candidate have collected his 200million from Wike, next is for them to sponsor him to AIT programme democracy today before this week runs out to speak and blast Amaechi as usual.

If Wike had use the money he used in bribing Abe, Barido and Akpo Yeeh all of Ogoni extraction to pay Rivers workers and pensioners been owed then hardship would have been reduced to 50% in Rivers.

amaechi don failed wike is a goalllllllllllllll

o ye chief, how much were u paid to do this?

Hehehe.. He has done the right thing.. I know some zombies in sifia pains right now but I won't mention till after wike has been declared winner by April!!

Meanwhile to the zombies peddling the news of wike bribing him with 200m.. I want to ask, are u saying as a deputy governor for four years, he wouldn't gain more than 200m?? That's in an alternate universe.. The way u guys reason is just so shallow.. Sha enjoy your pains..

This 200million wey una dey call, una see am for where? Some of you will just cook up one figure and start running with it as if when called upon you can confirm the veracity of your gist. Who know AAC for Rivers wey dem go come become challenge to PDP? Even APC would not have succeeded not to talk of this few moth old party with candidates no one remembers their names without using google!
Did Amaechi allow Magnus Abe that is a strong candidate that would have given Wike a good challenge? Wike did not do anything to Ogonis, blame Amaechi that scuttled Rivers APC primaries just because he wanted to be lord and master. At least with Magnus Abe, Ogonis would have stood a fighting chance!

Hehehe.. The same face u liked when he was in aac.. Abi d face change U r in sifia pains.. Ntooor.. How much did wike bribe him with that he wouldn't have gotten as a deputy governor over four years!! In an alternate universe the oo.. Zombie

So you want AAC to be imposed on Rivers people? Guy calm down, don't be a sadist, Ogonis don't take shit, they are too intelligent to be used and remember they don't queue for non sense. If Magnus, Baridoo, and Yeeh are Ogoni sons and we are so proud of their courage. Go and make your people proud. If you claim they are bribed then go make name and receive a whooping 200 Million in this Buhari government if it's easy.

The man doesn't want to be part of those who destroyed Rivers state.

He doesn't want to dine with the devils party.

Good move.

Amaech's thuggish behaviour,betrayal,maimings,murders and general mayhem he has unleashed on Rivers people since 2015,would even drive anyone to Wike's side,even knowing Wike has also had his own hands smeared with blood and has never been the best for Rivers State.
Amaechi is a wannabe Bola Tinubu that wants to be the godfather and determinant of Rivers government and political affairs,as Tinubu has achieved in Lagos.
But God long deserted him the moment he alligned with that Muslim extremist at the Villa,to the detriment and death of his own people.

Amaechi's eyes go clear by the time the AAC guber aspirant himself defects to PDP.
