Killing of Igbo traders, proof of PDP's ineptitude —PPA National Secretary


National Secretary of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), Chief Peter Ameh, has  faulted the position of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that it will reclaim the South-East in 2015.

Ameh in the statement said, “PDP has failed Nigerians, cannot reclaim South-East— PPA,” was wrongly credited to Dr Madukwe Ukaegbu by the party's secretariat staff.
“I issued the statement and I take responsibility for its content. There is no doubt that the PDP has let the people of the South-East down in all ramifications and we will not allow that to continue.
“Just at the weekend, not less than six traders of South-East origin were killed by the Boko Haram sect in Borno and Yobe states and the government did nothing.
“That tells you the level to which government at federal, states and local governments levels have degenerated, as they were unable to lift a finger to right a wrong in our national life,” Ameh stated.
He further said “the security situation in the country is getting worse and the economy, wobbling.
“We need to save this country from the PDP come 2015, by voting for the PPA, which has a vision and mission.”
In an earlier statement wrongly credited to Ukaegbu, Ameh said the PDP's leadership had been characterised by bad governance, political intimidation, poor infrastructure, unemployment, insecurity, poverty, among others.
