The Presidency has warned Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, against using the immunity he enjoys to commit treason.
Reacting to Amaechi’s comments during a rally organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC), Doyin Okupe, the senior special assistant to the president on public affairs, accused the governor of gross rascality.
“For someone who aspires to become the vice president of this country, his disdain for law and order is not only unfortunate but also patently dangerous and sends dark signals about the survival of our democracy,” Okupe said in a statement.
“It is clear to any discerning mind that Amaechi’s indecorous outbursts and his obvious disregard and contempt for the rule of law, has defined him as unfit to hold any serious public office in this country let alone the vice presidency of Nigeria to which he aspires.
“It is curious and unthinkable that a man who was himself a beneficiary of the court process would disdain the very platform through which he acquired the opportunity to make his reckless and provocative statement.
“It is even more worrisome when one considers the fact that Governor Amaechi’s party, which is relatively new, came on board promising hope to Nigerians.
“For a party that has made so much noise about its intentions to offer Nigerians a new deal, we wonder how the APC can be comfortable with a loose cannon like Governor Amaechi.
“Discerning Nigerians know that comments like this not only do not augur well for any democracy, but also portray Mr. Amaechi as a reckless, power-hungry individual who lacks both the democratic temper and respect for constituted authority and institutions.”
President Goodluck Jonathan also asked politicians to desist from making utterances that tend towards tearing the country apart.
He said those who make statements that threaten the peace of the country are risking punishment for treason, adding that Nigeria would continue to be in unity despite blackmail by the opposition.
Jonathan made the comment when Seriake Dickson, governor of Bayelsa state, led traditional rulers to felicitate with him on his 57th birthday.

Right from the onset, Rotimi is not someone that has respect for the law. Remember wen he went took PDP to court before he became the governor and yet still a member of PDP. Just a pity that he is using their head for his own benefits

Does the Presidency want to charge Rotimi Amaechi with treasonable felony like Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa did to Obafemi Awolowo? We will resist it.

Don't mind him

one of his comment
"they are looking for sponsors of Boko Haram, am one of them, they should arrest me"

He can't actually distinguish btw formal and informal gathering.

Make dem warn Edwin Clark and Asari dokubo too. Btw, dem don arrest tompolo wey kidnap journalists?

Rotimi Amaechi is a clown. He shouldn't be taken seriously.

Of course there is always hope , never give up my mate , these are all happening because of GEJ and his saTANist , but there is hope just make a change and stand for a better Nigeria. GMB GMB GMB GMB , my brother all the excuses now must be rusty , we do not want lies no more . We want democracy this government is a farce , it is a political absurdity. Imagine you are here threatening a law abiding citizen that has done nothing to harm another, yet the presidency has done or said nothing about Tompolo and the allegations against him , is this government not a Joke ? They are just here to blame people , they never take responsibility and own up to issues
