Governor Amaechi is a wonderful governor. When he was in PDP which was his useful years, he was building world class road, bridges and infrastructures but after leaving the party and joining the supporters of APC APC, he has gone clueless.

His APC achievements includes;

1. Turning a professional driver driving the likes of El-Rufai, Kwakwanso, Aminu Tambuwal,etc
2. He built a monorail of trekking distance. The "train" itself he recently hung on the rail for propaganda purposes is heading to no where.
3. He is about to mortgage the future of Rivers people to the tune of 40B naira. In his remaining 7 months in power, he will provide Rivers people with portable water.
4. The judiciary is not working because of his highhandedness
5. He has become the defaçto attack dog of the APC

PrinceAdepoju: The Rivers State Government and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are currently at loggerheads over the request by the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for a $280 million loan for water and sanitation projects.

While the state PDP is insisting that the latest request for loan by the state government was unnecessary due to the resources accruing to the state through the federal allocation and internally generated revenue, government described PDP’s claim that the funds were to be used for 2015 elections.

The State House of Assembly had on Monday endorsed the request for loan by the state governor for water supply and sanitation projects.

But the State PDP in a statement signed by the Special Adviser to its Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, said the request for loan was aimed at punishing the governor’s successor on 2015.

The party called on members of the House of Assembly, Federal Ministry of Finance, the African Development Bank and the World Bank not to honour the loan requests in order to avoid being held responsible as one of the institutions causing confusion in the state.

According to the state PDP, “Whether the loans have short or long term repayment conditions, it is immaterial at this point, for any society that lives on loans has no future and can never develop its own potential.

“It is unfortunate this is all Amaechi can wish a highly prosperous state like Rivers, the natural seat of oil and gas, a natural resource that has made havens of the nations that have it.”

However, a statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, described the position of the state PDP as misleading and mischievous, adding that the governor was running a transparent and accountable government.

Semenitari recalled that the Rivers State Government applied for and secured a loan package from the ADB and the World Bank in 2012 for a World Bank-assisted water scheme in the state.

“The rule is that the national government would need to endorse the release of the loan after the Rivers State House of Assembly would have approved.

“Everything else was done but for reasons unknown to the Rivers State Government, the responsible officers on the Ministry of Finance failed to sign off the release of funds, therefore denying the people of the state access to good water.

“Not willing to give up, the Rivers State Government continued to push and the scheme with the loan was again approved in the 2014 budget. Now, the Federal Government has finally signed off for this fund to be drawn down for work to start.

“But due process required that the Rivers State House of Assembly endorsed it once more. This is what necessitated the re-presentation of the old loan to the House.

Semenitari accused the PDP of leading the nation’s economy on a downwards trend through its lack of prudence and irresponsible stewardship of national resources.

“Nigerians are still waiting for the report of the probe into the 48.9 billion dollars NNPC funds. In the meantime, delegates at the National Conference have alleged another missing N730 billion from the Nigeria Ports Authority.

“Rather than address these issues, the PDP is sending Nigerians off on a wild goose chase. But while the PDP can deceive some of the people, some of the time, it cannot deceive all the people, all the time,” she said.

So the state has no water and sanitation but what the person Amaechi thought what it was best to first do is to use the state's funds to buy for his use a $50m private jet?

Now they want to put the future generation into debt/bondage of $280m?

And the fucktards in the state would call him a GREAT governor. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

This FOOL called Ameachi can buy Jet $50million but cant give his people water. Why not use $50million to start the water project and source for the rest from the huge oil revenue and federal allocation....while using the the other 3 state-owned jets. That is why he hates Okonjo Nweala because she didnt approve the loan before...IDIOT THIEF...his case will be worse than IBORI...let him wait for 2015. GEJ till 2015 Jooor

Its morally wrong for Amechi to go seeking for loan for an oil rich state like rivers,he will only succeed in creating a huge debt burden for next government,and that goes for any other state,instead of loan y not seek for a Grant?

Defend generation yet unborn because of how much?
Nawa for una sha. The man is still yhe gov. Why not allow him finish befor u cry foul. He has his programs lined up already. You can petition the efcc when he is done if you can establish a case of stealing against him on the one hand and if you think stealing is now corruption on the other hand.
The amount in question is just about 3 or 4mnths allocation amd derivation. So whats the big deal. The interest in 3% for 20yrs. More like paying back the original amount in 20yrs time. All the billions missing in the education and petroleum ministries, what have u done about them.
Compare the allocation from 1999-2007 for Odili and what he did to that of 2007-2015 for Amaechi and what he has done/will do. Then tell me Odili and the Wike who is crying like babies never stole. Remember, Wike is a billionaire yet he has not done anything outside politics since he graduated.
