"The beauty of democracy and credible elections is the exhibition of the spirit of sportsmanship by the loser and his party, and not this invidious show of hostility by the opposition PDP.”
The governor also stated through his aide that Rivers State governor,
Mr. Chibuike Amaechi, never donated N500 million to the campaign funds
of Governor Oshiomhole, as being claimed by some.
On the alleged donation by Amaechi, Prince Kassim Afegbua, special adviser, media and publicity to Governor Oshiomhole, said all those who made donations to the Edo governor’s campaign were listed and in its report.
He stated that the allegation was an orchestrated attempt to give Amaechi a bad name, adding that governor Oshiomhole knows the provision of the Electoral Act (as amended) and could not have received such a huge donation from anyone.
While saying that Amaechi was duly re-elected as chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, the statement said the action of some PDP governors, especially those who said they have another NGF chairman, shows the character of the party.
When the comrade-governor earlier referred to the PDP as a party of rogues, the party went for his jugular by calling him unprintable names and churning out all manner of lies and concocted tales just to make an impression.

But with the recent outcome of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum election,
which returned Governor Amaechi as duly elected, and following the
u-turn of those who participated in the exercise, the comrade governor’s
roguish description of the PDP has become instructively appropriate.
