They were only formed to see that they take over power and now they cannot mange it,\u201d the governor was quoted as saying in a statement by Kelvin Ebiri, his spokesman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAPC has failed. Look at their crisis. It is just ordinary convention that is a problem; ordinary convention that didn\u2019t take us time as opposition party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet you see what is happening and that\u2019s the kind of people you want to put your hope, faith on. It can\u2019t be possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no internal democracy in APC. It is only one man who decides. Mr. President travelled to Kenya, came back on Saturday and ordered that this and that should happen and travelled again yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his efforts to develop Rivers, the governor said those criticising him have not seen the urban renewal projects of his administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach time I read comments made by people who have failed, I just laugh at them. People think the only way they can be candidates of their party is when they go to newspapers to say what they don\u2019t have the facts on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShame! They never knew that we can turn Port Harcourt around this way. They never knew it to be so because they had all the opportunities. They had all the money in life then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut with the little that we have, see what we have done in Port Harcourt.
