Mustapha, a prominent son of a former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, has launched an attack on the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, for verbally castigating President Goodluck Jonathan.
Amaechi had on Saturday stated that Jonathan should not be referred to as his brother for failing to execute any project in Rivers State.
But the ex-VP’s son carpeted Amaechi for making what he called unguarded statements, noting that the governor was not the only one witnessing Jonathan’s alleged incompetence.
Accusing Amaechi of criticising Jonathan “irresponsibly” with “no sense of decorum,” Mustapha asked him to take a cue from his colleague and fellow party member in Edo State, Governor Adams Oshiomhole, whom he described as a “mature leader.”
Writing on Twitter, Atiku’s son argued that despite Jonathan’s alleged incompetence, the President deserves respect from all governors irrespective of party affiliations.
“I remember very well that Amaechi was one of Jonathan’s biggest supporters for a while. Amaechi is not the only one who sees or talks about GEJ’s incompetence, but he’s the one who criticises irresponsibly the most.
“But whenever Amaechi takes on the President, he does so with no sense of decorum, which is wrong for a leader. Gov. Oshiomole always accords the President a rousing welcome whenever he visits his state. This is a mature leader,” Mustapha wrote on Twitter.
Mustapha, whose father is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, however, insisted that he had “no love” for Jonathan.
According to him, “by the votes of Nigerians and the will of God” Jonathan must return to his country home in Otuoke, Bayelsa State, come 2015.
Urging Nigerians to “shine your eyes,” the Turakin Adamawa’s offspring stated that the raising of committees and various subcommittees by Jonathan for his presidential declaration would not prevent him from losing his reelection bid.
“Look, former military President Ibrahim Babangida filled the Eagle Square, Abuja to the brim during his (presidential) declaration in 2011. Governors and all sorts of people attended but we know where his journey ended. Mr. President’s declaration may surpass that of Atiku, Buhari, and Kwankwaso combined, but it doesn’t make him more popular,” he added.
He also criticised First Lady Patience Jonathan describing her as “an embarrassment to the Presidency.”
Meanwhile, the Presidency has said that Jonathan has “no enemies to fight” going from various scathing criticisms of his administration.
Special Assistant to the President on New Media, Reno Omokri, said the President’s declaration slated for November would not be used to attack personalities, adding that the event would be issue-based.
“I have no enemies to fight. We are one people from the womb of one Nigeria,” Omokri quoted the President as saying on Twitter.
“By definition a declaration ought to be a platform to tell the electorate your plan for their betterment, not a platform to attack others.”
In a veiled reference to the defection of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, who on Tuesday defected from the PDP to the APC, the Presidency noted that Jonathan was not moved, stating that the President’s achievement in office would earn him a reelection in 2015.
“Between 1998 and today, many changed political parties many times than they changed cars. But Jonathan has been stable. He (Jonathan) never jumps ship! In our centenary year we became Africa’s largest economy.
“Besides, Nigeria’s male and female national teams are football champions. Nigeria also contained Ebola. Let us be proud of these achievements,” Omokri added.
Meanwhile, Mustapha also threw his weight behind a suit filed before Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court challenging the eligibility of President Jonathan and his deputy, Namadi Sambo, to seek re-election in the 2015 presidential election.
The plaintiffs have argued that by the virtue of the oaths taken by Jonathan and Sambo following the death of President Umaru Yar’Adua in 2010 and their subsequent re-election in 2011, both of them were deemed to have completed the two terms allowed by law.
The ex-VP’s son said, “This is simple: the constitution says you can’t be President for more than eight years. If he wins the polls, he will spend more than that. Does the constitution allow an individual to be President for more than eight years?
“I am waiting to see how our judiciary will allow President Jonathan to contest. Nigerians and God know he is ineligible.”

no ,its amaechi that is missing his drugs

Firstly: @OP, you have to modify your topic to 'Amaechi' and not 'Amechi'.
Secondly: I guess maybe his father is planning to make Gov. Oshiomole his vice president.
Thirdly: Its a shame on Atiku, knowing that his son has no sense of responsibility by using those harsh and depicting words against his father colleague.

When you think the hatred these senseless megalomaniacs up North have for the progress of this Country is reducing they have a way of proving you wrong with their incoherent blabbing. Jonathan's detractors make it look as if Tafawa Balewa to Obasanjo's time jerked up power to 25,000 megawatts, added 10,000km paved roads, improved security, reduced corruption, rebranded the image of Nigeria etc only for Jonathan to reverse the trend for the worse Jonathan is it....2019 this I know for sure.

Buhari all the way. His picture will be in every office you enter. Nigeria is bigger than the interest of one Zoologist.

Nigeria will not support a Stealing-Not-Corruption administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

Never.

Confused so of a confused father

He's trynna warn Amaechi, so as for those people who are presently aspiring to become Governors come 2015 to respect his dad. Sorry to spoil your fun, your dad doesn't have what it takes to lead Nigeria again. Buhari is there for us!

my bro am tired for them,when you listen to them the way they label Gej admnistration with corruption you think Gej inventedcoruption,which past govt is better than the present o.JONATHAN'S only problem is cause he is from the minority

PDP e-scum scrubbers have been scavenging every pile of dirt looking for what to stick on their master to shore up his fast plummeting image and dwindling fortunes in vain!!

Yesterday, it was a Reuters' publication indicting their Oga that they foolishly brought to nairaland, which I presume they ended up regretting.

Today, so far, they've been celebrating "donations" to their Oga as a mark of acceptance by the "general public", and now, Atiku's "famous" son's criticism of Amaechi. Dude even attested to Jonathan's incompetence, but hell, he criticised Amaechi and that is good enough for the saTANs in these days of scarce fortunes!

Oga Jona really has very very little going for him these days, or could it be that the saTAN ambassadors, nairaland chapter, have been doing a terrible job lately??



We want to see JonaTAN's developmental strides.

bros why do u kip rubbing that statement on the president's face when you know that the president meant corruption is bigger and broader than stealing! The proper words to communicate wat he meant was wat he lacked but reading through his entire statement you'll get the gist. But that's by the way.

Telme do you tink employing the same military tactics, that saw Buhari curb public stealing to an extent, would work in a civilian administration giving their peculiarities?

I've never seen a president, since I was born, that openly endorses corruption as much as Jonathan. Infact, that statement shouldn't even come from a Governor's personal assistant, let alone a president with a supposed PhD!!

Smh.

I only feel sorry for our President, is it a crime to be a humble leader in this country ? As for that Ameachi that is mouth is leaking like a woman under her menses, he will regret all this later.

So Hatiku son has joined the bandwagon

1. Jonathan meant every word when he said that Stealing is not Corruption.
2. Apart from just saying it, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's entire action is characterized by corruption (where is EFCC, ICPC, Subsidy Scammers, illegal fees paid his buddy Oil Marketers, Immigration Jobs, etc).
3. Massive corruption is persisting under the Zoologist because he is a personification of Corruption.
4. And finally, if you try to expose the rut he is presiding over, the will push you out like Sanusi, lure you out Soludo and deceive you like Ribadu.

This case of Amaechi's wife:

LOL at that. the praises are really scarce these days..

are you infected with the scarce fortune syndrome?

The Agberos People's Community thought by wailing, insulting, lying and cursing GEJ, he will be distracted from performing his responsibility. They were wrong. The President instead is getting more compost and focused day by day as he perform his responsibilities. He seem to have develop a natural Insult Shock absorbance antibodies. The more the insults from detractors the more focused he becomes. This has helped him perform wonders in the transformation agenda more than he did 4 years ago.
Obviously the insults are playing to his advantage.
In order to sustain the momentum of economic development across the length and breadth of this country, we implore on the Agberos People's Community's Insults and Lying department to continue and sustain the tempo of insults on GEJ for him to perform well and continue the waves of infrastructural and economic miracle in Nigeria.
