RIVERS PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE - RPA
CONDEMNS THE POLITICIZATION OF MAMA AMAECHI'S BURIAL

We join millions of Rivers people and Nigerians in mourning with His Excellency, Rt Hon Chibuike R Amaechi and the entire Amaechi family over the passing of their beloved mother, Late Dame Mary Oduah Amaechi.

May her soul rest in peace.

RPA is however deeply disturbed by reports of a competing political event deliberately scheduled in Ikwerre LGA on the same day and at the same time as Mama Amaechi's burial in Ubima.

This is not politics. This is wickedness.

What did a grieving family do to deserve this?
What did the people of Ubima do to deserve this distraction on their day of mourning?

RPA COMMENDS RIVERS PEOPLE
For choosing dignity over drama.
For choosing compassion over confrontation.
For overwhelmingly standing with the Amaechi family despite the distractions.

The massive turnout of Nigerians from across party lines - Atiku Abubakar, Prof. Osinbajo, Peter Obi, Kwankwaso, David Mark, Odigie-Oyegun, Secondus, Omehia, Ikuru and many others - shows that Rivers people still respect humanity above politics.

RPA POSITION:
1. Burial is sacred. Politics must take a back seat when a mother is being buried.
2. The politics of bitterness, division and vindictiveness has failed. Rivers people have rejected it.
3. Rivers State belongs to its people, not to any individual. No matter how powerful.

We call on all political leaders to learn from this.
You cannot use fear and distraction to override the conscience of Rivers people.

Once again, we commiserate with the Amaechi family.
May God grant you the fortitude to bear this loss.

THE ACT OF ONE MAN TO BE LORD OVER US MUST BE CONDEMNED BY ALL

Irrespective of our political differences, this is where we must draw the line.

Rivers State does not belong to one man.
Rivers State belongs to all of us.

When politics becomes about control instead of service,
when institutions bow to individuals,
when our children's future is used to settle scores...

That is not democracy. That is tyranny.

RPA CONDEMNS IT.
RIVERS PEOPLE MUST REJECT IT.

What we need in Rivers State is STRONG LAWS,
NOT STRONG MEN.
LEADERSHIP THAT ANSWERS TO THE PEOPLE.

Let us teach our children that power is for service,
not for supremacy.

RIVERS FIRST. OUR CHILDREN FIRST.

PRESS STATEMENT

RPA CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE CLARITY ON PAMO UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS AND FOR THE INTEREST OF RIVERS CHILDREN TO BE PLACED ABOVE POLITICS.

We have watched with deep concern the video of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly during their visit to the Governor over issues concerning PAMO University of Medical Sciences.

OUR CHILDREN SHOULD NOT SUFFER

These are Rivers children. Many of them are indigent students on the Rivers State Scholarship Scheme at PAMO University - a scheme initiated during the administration of former Governor Nyesom Wike.

The scheme has reportedly produced over 500 medical and allied health graduates- young Rivers indigenes being trained to become doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers who will serve our state and nation.

OUR CONCERNS:
1. What happens now to Rivers State indigent students currently studying at PAMO on scholarship?
Are they to be abandoned halfway through their education?
2. Are they no longer "Rivers children" simply because they are studying in a private university?
3. Many decision-makers have their children studying abroad. Yet the children of ordinary Rivers people depend on this scholarship to access quality education at home. If the scholarship is withdrawn, it is not the rich or connected who will suffer. It is the children of poor and struggling Rivers families.

PAMO University has carved a niche as one of Nigeria’s leading private medical universities. It contributes to medical education, healthcare manpower, and also employs many Rivers indigenes.

RPA POSITION:
Government policies and political decisions must always put the welfare and future of our children first. Education should not become a casualty of politics.

We therefore call on:
1. The Rivers State Government to immediately clarify the fate of all current scholarship students at PAMO

2. The 10th Rivers State House of Assembly to prioritize the interest of Rivers children above politics

3. All stakeholders to ensure no Rivers student is abandoned or stranded

Rivers State belongs to all of us. RIVERS FIRST

RIVERS PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE - RPA
CONDEMNS ATTACK ON NDC SECRETARIAT IN EMOHUA LGA OF RIVERS STATE.

The Rivers Progressive Alliance - RPA is deeply concerned and saddened by the reported attack on the Nigeria Democratic Congress - NDC Party Secretariat in Emohua Local Government Area, including the destruction of NDC billboards and campaign banners.

We strongly condemn these acts in their entirety.

Political differences should never become a reason for violence, intimidation, or destruction of property. We may have different political opinions, but we are all brothers and sisters, and the peace of our communities must remain our collective priority.

RPA sincerely appeals to all NDC members and supporters across Rivers State to remain calm and peaceful. not be provoked into taking the law into their own hands. Our response must continue to be guided by maturity, restraint, and respect for the law.

We equally call on the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to thoroughly investigate the incident and fish out those responsible for the destruction of NDC Party property, billboards, and banners. Anyone found culpable should be made to face the full weight of the law.

As we approach the 2027 General Elections, RPA believes strongly that our politics should be about ideas, development, service, and the welfare of our people — not violence or destruction.

Elections will come and go, but our communities and relationships will remain.
Let us therefore choose peace, tolerance, and responsible political engagement.

RPA remains committed to a peaceful, issue-based, and people-centred campaign.

May peace continue to reign in Emohua, Ikwerre, Rivers State, and Nigeria.

PRESS STATEMENT

RPA CONDEMNS POLICE ATTACK ON PEACEFUL PENSIONERS IN LAGOS

The Rivers Progressive Alliance - RPA strongly condemns the unprovoked attack on pensioners who were peacefully protesting at the Lagos State House of Assembly earlier today.

It is cruel and degrading that senior citizens who served this country for decades, and are now being denied their legitimate post-retirement entitlements, were met with tear gas and force instead of dialogue and respect.

This action is unacceptable.
Teargassing elderly men and women in this manner is inhuman. Many of them are already battling health challenges. Exposing them to chemical fumes could have fatal consequences. To all intents, this is a grave assault on our fathers and mothers.

RPA demands that:
1. The officers responsible for this brutal attack must be immediately identified, arrested, investigated and prosecuted.
2. The Nigeria Police Force and Lagos State Government must tender an unreserved public apology to the pensioners and their families.
3. All outstanding pension arrears and entitlements owed to these senior citizens must be paid without further delay.

Our pensioners deserve their entitlements, dignity, and respect — not brutality, not tear gas, not humiliation.

We call on President Tinubu, the Inspector General of Police, and all Governors to ensure that the rights of senior citizens are protected. The people who built this nation must not be treated like criminals for demanding what is rightfully theirs.

To the pensioners: RPA stands with you. Your pain is our pain.

PRESIDENT TINUBU'S DIRECTIVE TO NLNG
A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT FOR RIVERS PEOPLE AND THE NATION

The Rivers Progressive Alliance- RPA welcomes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's
directive to the management of Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas - NLNG to convert
gas flaring into economic benefit for Nigeria.

During the meeting with the NLNG Board at the State House on Wednesday,
August 26, 2026, the President rightly emphasized that Nigeria must maximize
domestic utilization of gas and stop treating our gas reserves as waste.

RPA agrees with Mr. President that the real benefit of NLNG must be felt
"BACK HOME" by ordinary Nigerians through affordable cooking gas, power,
and industrialization.

We note with pride that:
1. NLNG has generated over $150 billion since inception, with Nigeria
receiving $47 billion in dividends
2. Capacity has increased to 5 trains, with Train 7 set to boost output by 35%
3. All LPG production is now focused on the domestic market
4. The Bonny-Bodo Road and Bridge project, financed by NLNG, is completed

As a party rooted in Rivers State, host to NLNG, we commend the NLNG Board
led by Engr. Adeleye Falade for improved performance and for projects like
Bonny-Bodo that directly impact our people.

RPA calls on NLNG and the Federal Government to:
1. Prioritize Niger Delta communities in gas-based industries and jobs
2. Ensure stable and affordable gas pricing for domestic use
3. Fast-track Train 7 and other expansions
4. Sustain the fiscal and security stability that is attracting investment

We assure Mr. President of the support of Rivers people in the drive to
convert our gas from liability to prosperity.
