The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says it still maintains its earlier position that the passage of the State 2014 budget outside the legislative chambers of the State House of Assembly by some lawmakers loyal to Gov. Rotimi Amaechi is “illegal
”
The party in a statement signed by Special Adviser on Media to the State Chairman, Jerry Needam says it is warning corporate bodies and banks from doing business with the state government.
The PDP said every action or decision taken by the Rivers State House of Assembly is unconstitutional.
According to Needam, “any dealings with Governor Amaechi by any agencies, persons or groups including banks and financial institutions in respect of the illegal 2014 budget are also illegal.
“Governor Amaechi, cannot have any other reason for the gross disregard for the Supreme Court judgement on
the illegality and nullity of a State legislature to conduct its
proceedings out the constitutionally approved chamber than to access more State funds to sponsor the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
He continued that “To show how desperate Amaechi is about frittering away the State’s resources because of the People’s stiff opposition to
his style of leadership, he had also continued to ask for another N100 billion loan besides the over a trillion naira already collected.
