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.
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.
The
immunity which 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 rantings.
Nigerians
know that while Mr. 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.
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.

On a more serious note. Gov. Amechi need to be advised. I'm beginning not to like him.
"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"
Adonbilivit. To think Amaechi was once GEJ's right hand man till Obiakpo happened.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Reuben Abati nigerians also know the first lady is always asking for illegal cut in deals amd money from people,using her position as the first lady......we dont know what is happening between PDP,presidency n Ameachi but we know the claim about the first lady asking for share is true abeg.....she is greedy and selfish
Too bad for Nigeria politics
So who is lying here

Goverrnor Amechi should learn from the likes of James Ibori.
Abati mumu you have come again abi?fookish government and foolish errand boys.Nigerians are wise now and unless pdp rigs 2015 presidential election Jonathan is never going to win!Period!
Dis warning is long overdue. De animal needs to be tamed. ......mentuz
Actually Ameachi's rascality is of the highest order.
Your comment will be visible after approval
Amaechi is an idiot and a political prostitute who has failed Rivers and south south people. He is not a person to be taken seriously, we the rivers people know better. We regret having him ands our governor for 8 years. Anyway we voted for Omehia and not this arrogant animal.
Unfortunately I blive amaechi...
amechi deserves a heavy punishment for taking Gejs gentleness for a ride.jonathan has neva spoken a word ova all these embarrassments while this rogue dances naked in the market square.a day of reckoning is fast approaching
Amaechi is one governor i use to respect..but his nonchalant and strange attitude now is nothing to write home about...
GEJ and abating and okupe are always talking nonsense
I was expecting the president and Dr Abati to counter Amechi's claims by mentioning projects dat has been carried out in Rivers. But to my surprise they failed to....seem's Amechi might be right them!
Jonathan can kill Amechi....Amechi can kill Jonathan. . The truth is that I DO NOT CARE!
I concur. Really true that Gov Rotimi is no longer the man he used to be. He's changed just because of politics. He needs to be warned. We get to many blind politicians for naija. Dem eyes go soon open sha
What day of reckoning? Am sure amechi said the truth about the whole story. As for Reubens fetish abati, his days as Jonathan and patience's errand boy are numbered.
I hate people that comment nonsense, if u are in River State, youi will know that Amaechi is doing nothing, i sais absolutely nothing to the people of the state, there are many roads in the city of main port harcourt which are dead trap, examples are: Azikiwe Street mile 2, Bishop Okoye Mile 3,Iwofe road,Anyama rd, Emekuku road in Dline and many other roads, workers are being owed, No standard thing that he can say he did to the people of the state. If you know popular mile 3 that is RSUST, you will find out the drinage there is very very bad such that when small drop of rain drop, it will flood everywhere. He should be very careful with his tongue.
BelieveAll.com
to a more serious and important issue...please can someone kindly tell me the score line btw ManU AND Chelsea....watching the EPL is almost an impossible task here in Benin rep.....
meanwhile GEJ FOREVER .........

Shut up ur smelling mouth..where u there when patience asked Amaechi to bring Rivers money? Fool..Nigerians like you don't think, you carry dust in your brain and voice out senseless statements...
Jonathan deserve more than that...
Hmnnn.....Stories for the Gods ooo....#flipsstethandwalksaway.
this is highly irresponsible, must he insult everybody because he is enjoying immunity, this is very unfair maybe because GEJ is a good man because i know that during OBJ's tenure nobody dare insult him that way
Its d fault of our politicians Joooor. They should be the one to stop youths from POLITICAL RASCALITY.
Patience is always having problems with all the South south governors. Yesterday was amechi, today is bayelsa's governor. Abeg the woman selfish and greedy jooo. She's the genesis of all the problems in rivers. Useless woman
Hmmm.. D man is truly a rascal
Face ur own
I see you yearning mud
Don't mind that useless Gej's dog. He was talking about Amechi's immunity, he forgot that same thing goes to his boos Gej. Abi what give the idiot confidence that Gej ll win next year presidency election? Infact, God forbid!
⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
That's politics
Ok
All sincere Nigerians knows how high head the first lady is,her bossy nature and arrogant behavior pitch her against lots of people,recently now she's after bayelsa state governor.
Amaechi has loads of completed projects in River State...as a matter of fact, he is d only gov that has done so thing tangible in River State...you can advice him to respect the presidency but not to shut his mouth completely. GEJ needs criticism so as to be a better politician likewise Amaechi...remember, this is politics...no permanent enemy but permanent interest. the presidency has clashing and opposing interest with Amaechi...then, what do you expect??:)...cat n mice relationship!
Una sabi.
He feels he is some god or something...He wants everyone to follow him to his apc... Well dis warning serves him right... He has consistently insulted the presidency too much... In my personal opinion, dis warning is rather late... I see anoda ibori in line in ameachi... Good luck to him and fellow Nigerians.
lolz omg politicians.@jp
Linda tell amaerchi Wetin happen to ibori...
Linda please try to remain non partisan in reporting politics and politicians. I am saying this bcos anytime there is a press statement from PDP or presidency, it immediately gets a space on your blog but that is not the same for opposition parties.
Although, I read Rotimi Amechi's statement at the Port Harcourt rally in the daily newspapers, I cannot remember reading this anywhere on your blog. But, immediately Reuben Abati responded to Amechi's comments (same comment you refused to publish), you have rushed to publish Reuben's response on your blog. You always give same prominence to Reno Omkiri on your blog. Are u on PDP payroll? Try to remain non partisan. This will help your blog a lot.
Then who did u vote in 2011..
Who is fooling who? We Nigerians know what is going on.
Abati should just lets hear word. Now he knows how painful it can be when your been attacked politically cos his "Oga" is now involved. Where was Abati when Asari Dokubo was releasing his statement, promising the whole Nigeria hardship if his kinsmen - The president is not re-elected come next year. "Mr. SSA on Media & Publicity.... Nigerian are wise now and we are watching you all
Reuben Abati has suddenly become the advocate general of madam patience. Unfortunately for him and his oga, we the rivers people believe in Ameachi and we shall rally around him to vote out thieves like GEJ and PDP

First Lady should mind her office and allowed the governor to mind his. she tackling the governor for no reason.
"Rascality" is that even English?...and if it is, should it be placed beside the word "political"?... our leaders talk like this??? We are so fucking fucked! !
Can 2015 come already... tired of timing. Reppin ●SAMSUNG NOTE 3●
Amaechi has really lost focus.... i dont like his behaviour
Amaechi o, GEJ o, Patience o, Reuben o... No one's hands are clean.
i dont like what Amaechi is doing
i dont like what Amaechi is doing
i dont like what Amaechi is doing
2 wrongs dont make a right! How can an insulting and degrading letter like this be issued by the FG to a serving Governor? Its disgraceful and does not represent good governance. Both parties are at fault.
i dont like what Amaechi is doing
Amaechi own don too much sef, aah! only him the APC?
Coming to a platform as this with so many dumb commenters and using such big words makes you equally as dumb! What's the point when most won't understand your comment really??? #ParkWell
All dis rantings is just because of 2015 election, irrationality n rascality has become d order of d day. In every lie dier is an iota of truth
This is unnecessary battle between the Presidency and Gov Amechi is really not good.
Sometimes I keep wondering what is giving Gov Amechi the courage for this "war" knowing clearly well that he'll be out of office by next year and President Jonathan may likely continue in office,
The president wife should Sue him naw.
Gov Amaechi has lost track, he was over used by Northern Governors against Goodluck Administration.
Pot calling kettle black!
As d saying goes Okro can neva grow taller dan d 1 who planted it. D day of surely will come
You be MUMU like amechi ..go follow looser na you sabi GEJ is better than d mumu wey u dey follow
Amaechi has forgotten that "WE SOMETIMES STAND IN THE COMPOUND OF A COWARD TO POINT AT THE RUINS THAT USED TO BE THE ABODE OF A BRAVE MAN"
My friend beta know we have 3 great G's - GOD, GOVERNMENT & GUN. If u 4k with any of dem, dey mess u up big tym. Amaechi should be careful or else...
Shut your foul smelling trap Abati, Always blabbing and running your mouth at all times, when Asari Domino threatens the corporate existence of the whole country you have nothing to say. Silly Clowns and Buffoons. If you really wanted to tackle Amaechi you should have mentioned just one project that the Jonathan government has initiated in Rivers State under Amaechi instead you are hurling insults. The guy says things as he sees it and that's why you now hate him so much, someone must stand up to you lame ass jokers. Don't we know that Mrs Jonathan is overbearing and collects money from people seeking influence, contracts and government patronage? Keep hiding behind one finger. You shall be flushed out of office and we shall be rid of your rudderless, myopic, corrupt and dour leadership.

Pls can you list the completed projects Amaechi has done in Rivers State?
Have you been to Etche, wat about the monorail n half bridges he has been working on are they completed?
They are thieves none of them is better.
While I respect the standpoint of both the Governor Amaechi of Rivers State and the intending response of Reuben Abati (I omitted the “Dr” for a reason) who holds Ph.D in Dramatic Literature, Theory and Criticism. Amaechi on his part did expressly said the Goodluck government have not executed any project in Rivers State, in responding Abati accused Amaechi of falsehood, rascality and libel, he further threatened legal action against Amaechi. I have followed the fracas between Amaechi and the Presidency.
I will not support Amaechi’s allegation neither would I back that of the presidential spokesperson. However, for posterity sake the two parties should come out boldly to support their viewpoints with acceptable evidences. While we all know that the Federal Government owe Nigerians the provision of basic infrastructure as well as the protection of lives and properties, I therefore task Governor Amaechi to further justify his position.
On the other hand, since Amaechi have accused the Federal Government of abandoning his State, the Presidency should highlight its activities/achievements in the oil rich State of Rivers with tenable evidences. While I was in the University all my teachers who hold doctorate degree will always justify the submissions/explanations with considerable empirical evidence(s). I would have expected that the presidential spokesperson give traceable evidence(s), even if it was just one to counter the statement of the Rivers State Governor. His (Abati) inability to state any evidence made me remove the “Dr” before his name.
While reading his statement in today’s punch Monday 27th October, 2014 page 16, I was expecting a logical conclusion with justifications to seal his submission; however, it was disappointing that the piece ended with the reaction of the Chief of Staff of Rivers State Government, Chief Tony Okocha. Abati should further explain to Nigerians the projects that are being executed by the Jonathan’s administration in Rivers State.
Finally, I will plead with the good people of Rivers State who have the first hand information to publish their opinions/facts on the subject matter. PDP have been in power for almost sixteen years and I wonder what their scorecard will look like in terms of development in these sixteen years of governance, looking at the pictures publish on page 58 & 59 of today’s ThisDay newspaper 27th October, 2014.
God Bless Nigeria!!!
