he drama between Rivers state
governor, Rotimi Amaechi and the
presidency seems to have taken a new twist.
In the latest spate of accusation and
counter-accusation, Amaechi reminded the
Presidency that President Goodluck
Jonathan is not his ‘Prefect’, noting that, he
cannot threaten him of sanctions for
criticizing the president for not attracting
developmental projects to the state.
Rotimi Amaechi
The Presidency had angrily reacted to a
claim made by Amaechi that the the cause
of the frosty relationship between him and
the Presidency was because President
Goodluck Jonathan hates Rivers people and
that the president ceded Soku oil wells in
Kalabari to Bayelsa and 40 Etche oil wells
also in Rivers to Abia state.
Amaechi also accused the wife of the
president, Patience Jonathan of corruption.
He said Patience wanted him to bring the
money meant for Rivers people to Abuja.
In addition to that, Amaechi at a mega rally
held in Port Harcourt on Saturday rubbished
claims by President Jonathan that the All
Progressive Congress (APC) was a party
only on billboards.
And today, in his reply to the statement
from the office of President Jonathan, which
accused him of “Political rascality,” the
Rivers State Commissioner for Information
and Communication, Ibim Semenitari said
Governor Amaechi is an elected official and
not a mere ‘prefect’.
Semenitari also faulted Reuben Abati, the
President’s spokesman for failing to get his
facts right before publishing the statement
despite his wealth of experience.
She added that Amaechi never mentioned
the name of the President nor his wife
during his speech at the rally.
Semenitari said, “I would want to say that
the Presidential Spokesman should be
careful for the kind of threats he issues to
an elected Governor.
“He should remember that the President is
not a prefect of the governor. He was
elected as President just as the Governor
was elected as a governor, and Nigeria is a
federation.
“And please, Abati should know his limits
and need not attempt to cross his
boundaries.
“It is a bit strange to hear the kind of
comments coming out of the Presidency and
this shows that the statement was already
prepared before governor Amaechi spoke.
“At no point in his speech did Governor
Amaechi make any references. His wife was
not even discussed because she is not an
official of government.
“I do not understand where or how Mr. Abati
got his story, so we just take it that this is
one of those clear indications of rascality
within the Presidency trying to call a dog a
bad name and hang it”.
