Governor Rotimi Amaechi reacts to deputy governor's defection

Governor Rotimi Amaechi has reacted to the defection of his deputy, Engr Tele Ikulu to PDP today March 22nd. His statement was signed by the state's commissioner for Information, Ibim Semenitari below. See it below...
"The Rivers State Governor Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has only this evening received the news of the resignation of his Deputy Governor Engr Tele Ikuru from the All Progressives Congress,” the statement read. Whilst the news remains unofficial at this time as the Deputy Governor is yet to notify His Excellency the Governor of this move, Governor Amaechi however wishes Engr Ikuru all the best in his future political endeavours. He however wishes to note that the reasons adduced by Engr Ikuru are shocking as Deputy Governor lkuru has consistently been the one driving political activities in his local government area of Andoni and has been the second in command driving politics and governance in Rivers state. On a personal note, Governor Amaechi has accorded Engr Ikuru all the privileges and respect due the office of the Deputy Governor and has treated him with love as a friend brother. Though the Governor had hoped that the numerous rumors of Engr Ikuru’s double-faced membership of the APC and open romance with the PDP were not true, he however appreciates the fact that every individual has a right to pursue his political dreams, as he deems most appropriate. It is however regrettable that Engr Ikuru has chosen the dishonourable path of barefaced lies and name-calling rather than the more honourable path of simply retracing his steps to where he has always been.”

Amechi u once did it,from pdp to Apc,calling pdp names,now u will understand what betrayal is

Anonymous said...

D-PinPointer Says: The defector acted like Fani's father who betrayed Awolowo and the yoruba people. We wish him well. PDP is full of 'bite me I bite you dogs.' PDP is an opportunistic party, not an ideology one.

APC be deceiving gullible nigerians with their semantics. Imagine APC being d honourable path? Except for tinubu "the thief", the oda guys are PDP rejects. These guys are just using us 2 get back power.

He just paid Amaechi in his own coin. The same way he abandoned his own brother GEJ. What a shame. He was fed up with the deceptions of the APC.

Now thats a mature way to Publicly address/react to the issue! Am impressed! If only FFK and d rest can learn to maturely address issues without resulting to cheap jibes and insults.

#SaiJonathan said...

This is an usually mature resp once from a tout.

But again, I must commend Amaechi's mature reaction. Like he said, everyone reserves the rights to pursue their political ambitions in the best manner they deem fit.

Having said that, GEJ till 2019!

#smh - I'm sure he is unhappy that he wasn't picked to replace the Governor.

#smh - If we didn’t have weapons to fight BH, what if Cameroun or Chad of Benin had invaded us?

#smh - Jonathan isn’t clueless, he made all the militants richer and positioned them to attack when he loses but the Nigerian Army and Navy, will not tolerate any of such under a capable leader; the only reason why BH flourished under his tenure is because he let them.

APC..... I feel really sorry for your loss. Remember I warned you people that your quest for power was way too desperate. You've lost the election, alongside with all the money you used for campaign. Not to worry. Gej will compensate you. I trust he will

I just read this comment by ovie ovie on a post and i had to copy and paste..."he that has ears let him hear"...pls vote not fight

When the deadliest civil WAR breaks out all of us ranting here APC and PDP note that the elites you are fighting for on social media will survive with their families but you and i will be refugees in Benin Republic and other countries if we survive it,and they will still sit at a peace accord meeting somewhere in Ghana ,South Africa or the U.N to still decide your fate and fly back their families with their private jets to continue using those who survived,if i may ask where are their children? they are all abroad in safe keeping,Nigerian youths listen and listen good,we have only one Nigeria,what the RADIO did to Rwanda is what SOCIAL MEDIA IS DOING TO NIGERIA NOW,the worst CIVIL WAR IN THE HISTORY OF AFRICA AND MANKIND IS IMMINENT,we are all pushing NIGERIA TO WAR,there will be no winners or losers,Nigeria ,you and i will lose atlast,the U.S/ the West promised SYRIA and LIBYA better life where they would be free from dictators and corrupt leadership, today you can see how free these countries are,Iraq inclusive after Sadam,Americans are safe in their country happy and laughing over the suffering they have caused using divisive propaganda to destroy them,Nigerians be warned a great WAR is at hand all of us here might not be alive to tell the story but i bet you ,all the elites and their children will be alive to tell the story.You and i don't own oil wells and private jets,then what are we fighting for.They want you to be counted as casualties so there would be a case .Please say no to violence if GEJ wins he wont feed his village if Buhari wins he wont feed his village,and nothing will change ,there is no time a govt will solve all your problems.There are more beggars and homeless people in the U.S than Nigeria even in Obamas backyard in Chicago homeless people queue up for food hand outs daily.STOP PUSHING NIGERIA TO WAR WITH SO MUCH HATE ON SOCIAL MEDIA BE WARNED OF WHAT THE RADIO DID TO RWANDA. We might not live to tell the STORY.Lets preach LOVE and KINDNESS.

I like the part he said "there are more beggars and homeless people in the US than Nigeria..even in obama's backyard in chicago homeless people queue up for food handouts daily" .....Nigerians want jonathan the magician to perform signs and wonders!

Unknown said...

Dis is just d beginning for Ameachi. Let him watch out 4d worse which wil b d shame on him.

I love dis part of d statement "It is however regrettable that Engr Ikuru has chosen the dishonourable path of barefaced lies and name-calling rather than the more honourable path of simply retracing his steps to where he has always been.”

Unknown said...

Bunch of deceitful people. B4 now Tele was very significant bt now that he has seen the light he is no more significant. APC is the worst party on earth. Amaechi nemesis is catching up wit u already. GEJ NA MY CHOICE.
