Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi

October 26, 2014 – Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has been notified of the legal and moral implication of his myriads of allegations against President Goodluck Jonathan, his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan and the Federal Government, warning that a day of reckoning is around the corner.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Ruben Abati gave the warning in reply to allegations made by the governor in his mega rally held in Rivers State on Saturday.

“Unless his unbridled ambition and desire for self- promotion have completely befuddled his mental faculties and caused him to totally lose touch with reality, Governor Amaechi must know that his claims and allegations are untrue. We can only assume therefore that he is deliberately spewing malicious falsehood in a desperate effort to incite the people of Rivers State and Nigeria against his assumed political foes. We warn him that there are legal, constitutional and moral limits to political rascality beyond which he will not be allowed to go without repercussions”, Abati noted.

According to him, the immunity which Amaechi currently enjoys will soon come to an end and would have to face the consequence of his anti-Jonathan ranting.

“The immunity he currently enjoys notwithstanding, Governor Amaechi should be under no illusions: A day of reckoning will surely come when he will answer for all his actions and false allegations against President Jonathan, the First Lady and the Federal Government. He should also know that Nigerians are aware of the truth and will never be fooled or swayed by his arrant opportunism and anti-Jonathan ranting, he said.

He explained that while Amaechi falsely accuses others of corruption, he cannot show or explain to the people of Rivers State what he has done with the billions of Naira that has accrued to the state under his tenure.

“They also know that while Amaechi continues to falsely accuse the Jonathan Administration of having done nothing for Rivers State, he has recklessly squandered huge state resources on dubious, vain-glorious projects or self-aggrandizement”, he said adding that while the governor goes about telling the people of Rivers State that his allocations have not been released the reality remains that only September allocation is pending.

Governor Rotimi Amaechi took his obnoxious willingness to denigrate the highest office in the land in a reckless bid to advance his selfish political interests to a new level of irresponsible and rascally behaviour yesterday in Port Harcourt with his totally false and baseless vituperations against President Jonathan, the First Lady and the Federal Government.
It appears from the Governor’s completely unfounded and off-the-mark allegations that he had totally lost all sense of propriety, decorum and responsible political behaviour and resorted to unacceptable demagoguery, libel, blackmail and incitement of public disorder.

Nigerians will know too that while he falsely alleges that Rivers and other states have not received funds due to them from the Federation account, the only outstanding allocation was for September, which was released to all states well over a week ago. The Governor should stop trying to make President Jonathan the scapegoat for his woeful performance in Rivers State and look to his own very apparent failings and incompetencies.

He should also stop blackmailing the First Lady who has demanded nothing from him other than good governance, justice, equity, fairness, real development and progress in Rivers State
