Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Alhaji
Balarabe Musa, on Tuesday said that the
suspension of Gov. Chibuike Amaechi of
Rivers was as a result of cumulative actions.
He told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Abuja that there was more to the
suspension than what the PDP made the
general public to believe.
He said that the suspension carried more malice
than just winning an election at the just concluded
Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF).
Balarabe said that the PDP with their action was
sending a dangerous signal to the Nation towards
the 2015 elections and it must be checked.
"The suspension of Amaechi was a desperate
action. I am not talking as an opposition, but as a
politician with greater interest in the democratic
dispensation of the country.
He said that because of the political future of
Nigeria, every politician must see the action as a
warning signal which must not be handled with
sentiments.
"PDP has a big problem and as a ruling party, they
have to show good example, rather than heating up
the system all the time,".
Balarabe said that the conception of NGF was a
good idea if their ideals were well exercised without
external interference.
He said that during the second republic, there was a
similar forum named, "The Progressive Governors
Forum".
Balarabe said that the progress forum was partisan
then because it only took care of the progressive
parties.
"But, NGF was based on the national interest as it
comprised all the governors irrespective of their
political parties.
He said that the PDP should not interfere in the
affairs of the forum because it was not a PDP forum
or affiliate.
He said that the forum should be independent of
any political party for it to survive.
