His words: “We in APC have always said Rivers state government’s amnesty programme is dubious and characteristically questionable. “We continue to hold the opinion that government simply created the so- called amnesty to shield crooks. “It was just to shield them from clampdown by federal security agencies by surreptitiously legitimising the criminalities perpetrated by the criminal associates who shot and killed to climb to power.” On his part, the APC Chairman in the local government where Obuozo was murdered, Felix Ejechi said the killings required federal government’s intervention. Ejechi said what was happening in the area was beyond the party, adding that if something urgent was not done, the situation might spread to other places. He also called on the party’s national leadership to address the “insecurity that is threatening the unity and affecting the membership strength of the party”.
