Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has said the controversial monorail project he initiated would not be completed by his administration. He added that those expecting his government to execute more projects to have a rethink because, “we are looking for money now.”

The governor stated this yesterday in Port Harcourt, the state capital during a phone-in radio programme as part of his tour of media houses in the state.

Governor Amaechi, who also commented on several issues affecting the state at Radio Port Harcourt, claimed that the lingering dispute in the state judiciary was between the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN and the Judicial Staff Union, JUSUN.

On the way out, the governor, who sounded sarcastic, said former Nigerian Bar Association, NBA President, O.C.J. Okocha, SAN should be consulted,” alleging that it was Okocha that wanted to make his sister (Daisy Okocha) the  State Chief Judge at all costs.

Commenting on the deplorable roads in Eleme and Onne parts of the state, which led to the current strike by the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas, NUPENG, Governor Amaechi called on the Federal Government to do its roads, declaring that the one affecting the state was being done.

The governor, who received commendations from callers for the work he had done in the state so far, asked the federal authorities to release money owed the state. He alleged that based on what Rivers received from the Federation Account, 60 percent of it was being lost, noting that prompt release of the state’s allocation would enable him execute more projects.

On power supply in the state, governor Amaechi said that government had put in efforts to ensure adequate power supply, but blamed part of the reasons government’s efforts were not really being felt on possible vandalism of power equipment in the state. “I don’t know if that is political,” Amaechi said.

He accused the Federal Government of perpetrating corruption through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC oil subsidy account, adding that all the affected state governors had resolved to explore legal options on the matter.

According to him, “the governors are not against oil subsidy, but against corruption.”

He said because of the short period left for his administration and the level of work on the monorail project, another governor would complete it, asserting that the progress made on the monorail had baffled his detractors.

Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has said the controversial monorail project he initiated would not be completed by his administration.

No suprise there! Na today? 'the white elephants u people are sharing, there is god o'

Talk less and do more. We know the FG will always be blamed for any of his shortcomings. Can he name any project he awarded in his second term? Not to talk of completing. As at a year ago, this man had so much respect from a lot of people but right now its a different ball game. He should know what they say about people that too much.

mumu

Not surprised 1 bit

Amechi you have disappointed rivers people . Please stop laying the blame on allocation.

This Amaechi
What he shows the world vs what is on ground

There needs to be some kind of punishment system for politicians that fail to fulfil their promises. This is unacceptable.

FG would frustrate him to prevent APC get the dividends fo the mono-rail completion during 2015 elections.

OK
