You Cannot Threaten Me, Amaechi Replies Presidency
In the latest spate of accusation and counter-accusation, [b]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 sta[/b]te.
BY OKAFOR OFIEBOR/PORT HARCOURT OCT 27, 2014

The 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”.

He does not have to lick anyone's butt, common sense is needed. Sofar, he has shown common sense is not common to him. The same people cheering him on today, will be the same ones calling him names in less than 6 months.

Ikoro is not a dance for the lily livered. While the tune intoxicates, we cross boundaries and forget that some killed a tiger to join while some brought a big cow.

Madame semenitari,
With all due respect, you lied and your response is unprofessional
1. Rotimi poured vituperations on the president and his wife on the said rally.
2. The rejoinder of the president is an aftermath of the mega APC rally and not pre-prepared speech as alleged.
3. You used 'prefects' here a no of times each meaning different things. Well, GEJ is Amaechi's and every governors' senior prefect for all I care. I think he deserves a little respect.
4. Your concluding paragraph was poor and lacks professional touch of an information and communications commissioner.

You guys should step up this game.
..Imagine, PEJ said I should bring rivers money to share with her.

The onus lies on the presidency to substantiate their claim that Amaechi made those statements. They are free to go to court instead of making useless threats.

I attended the rally in port harcourt. Governor Amaechi never made such statement as alleged. But even if Governor Amaechi made such statement, it could be at another gathering of which is Amaechi not far from the truth. We all see and hear what is happening everyday in rivers state and Nigeria. Just that GEJ was very angry after seeing such a huge crowd gathering for Amaechi and APC in rivers state after the likes of Nyesom Wike have continuously told GEJ that APC and Amaechi are not on ground that they only exist on billboards. I believe that this is the reason for the recent threat by the president.

Ever since Oga Jona handed over Soku Oil wells to Bayelsa, he became Rivers number 1 enemy. I'm still waiting for Rivers people to understand that..

Anyways them fit each other. Ameachi na him fit Jonathan and na Wike fit Amaechi.

The fight isn't about the people. It isn't about our interests. It isn't about corruption or security. It is one foolish fat woman, her clueless husband and their bald brother. Let them fight on.
As for Reuben Abati, may you be struck dead by lightning for being such a fool and being used as a politicl mercenary.
