The Presidency on Wednesday said that the statement by the Director-General of the Buhari Campaign Organization, Rotimi Amaechi, asking some soldiers in the Nigerian Army to mutiny against the military authorities is a treasonable pronouncement.

According to a late statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to thew President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, "No responsible Nigerian or political organization for that matter should ever contemplate encouraging or supporting mutiny in the Nigerian Army under any circumstances whatsoever.

"It is a pity that because of Amaechi's huge financial commitment to the General Buhari campaign, the presidential candidate of the APC has compromised his personal integrity and enviable military antecedents to endorse such reckless statement issued on his behalf.
‎
"Rotimi Amaechi is no doubt an unrepentant socio-path whose main preoccupation is to desecrate constituted authority and create chaos and anarchy in the country.
Very recently, for an election that is yet to be conducted, he announced shamelessly that his party will form a parallel government if it loses in 2015.

"Nigerians must clearly see the unsuitability of the major personalities that hold sway in the APC for leadership in the country. We enjoin all Nigerians to roundly condemn this act of treason against the state in a naked and reckless pursuit of power." Okupe said.

I am not asking Amaechi to resign as Governor, that's Amaechi's prerogative,

I am saying he should be asked to resign as DG Buhari campaign, failing which it can be assumed that Buhari is in support of Amaechi comments

We are saying the same thing. If PDP is a responsible party, they should have asked Shema to resign from office for that dangerous statement.

Did they even ask him to tender an apology or retract it?

Everyone scoring political points.

What do u expect from a tout like Amechi?

PDP does not have capacity to sack shema as Governor. His position is secured by constitution

APC does not have capacity to sack Amaechi as Governor. That Position is also secured in constitution

However Buhari can distance himself from the Amaechi comments by relieving him of his duty as his campaign DG

Failing to do so, Buhari is in agreement with Amaechi on both his statement about parallel government and mutiny amongst soldiers

my friend, when did sack come into the picture? i thought we were talking about resignation?

I concur...It's a treasonable felony. It came from Amaechi the loud mouth, So I'm not surprised.

so mr clueless, the soldiers should be using dane gun to fight boko boys who are using better rifles, mr president there is God o

what doesnt it mean? treasonable? was not the country built on coup de-tat? has the country experienced two decades free of coup-de-tat/treasons? na gun dem go take remove jona. 18 bullets is not satisfatory but i will manage it.what doesnt it mean? treasonable? was not the country built on coup de-tat? has the country experienced two decades free of coup-de-tat/treasons? na gun dem go take remove jona. 18 bullets is not satisfatory but i will manage it.what doesnt it mean? treasonable? was not the country built on coup de-tat? has the country experienced two decades free of coup-de-tat/treasons? na gun dem go take remove jona. 18 bullets is not satisfatory but i will manage it.

Buhari is a loser and a loose cannon

I support#change I support#GMB but I don't support mutiny,weapons don't win wars,people{brave soldiers} win wars!!!

its quite unfortunate that Amaechi massive financial commitment has made him to embark on a do or die mission.

He stupidly forgets that in the event of a coup, the southerners will be the ones languishing in jails while their northern counterparts will be in house arrest.

Buhari did it to ekwueme and other southern politicians.

If buhari shld demote amaechi to convoy driver immediately, since he has started reasoning negatively

Bro that is typical of the PDP but the opposition shouldn't be caught doing it. I think it is high time Amaechi became more circumspect with his utterances. Given the position he now occupies, he could either make or mar the General's chances of winning next year's elections.

The PDP has been waiting for the slightest slip up to latch unto. We can't afford to give them that at this critical period.

Amaechi should be cautioned abeg oo.

If PDP was a serious party they'll ask GEJ to step down and they'll present a better candidate to run for President.

sure you're right. I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy of those who would crucify Amaechi. I hope those who have access to the APC leadership will bring it to his notice.

enjoy bro

This guy just talk too much

Nobody asked them to join military hence free to quite any day they want. Most of the weapons BH uses are weapons stole from Nigeria barracks. Have u ever asked your asked urself why did Nigeria soldiers became ill equiped immediately Ihejirika removed as the COAs?

Leave the yeye guy jare.

if pdp is a serious party, they should ask GEJ to resign; since after 6-year he agreed that he is confused n nigerians can't continue with his trial and error method.

So the Soldiers are to be treated as pawns in a bid to rob the Nation and be sent to sure deaths but they should have no say or consideration because they are "Soldiers" not humans, right??

Amechi doesn't need to say anything, its a sure course in human nature.

I don't support Amaechi on that pronouncement. It is capable of throwing Nigeria into serious chaos.

However, if PDP had reined in their Okupes, Metuhs and other big wigs of theirs, we will not be hearing stuffs like this from the opposition camp.

He who lives in a glass house should learn not to throw stones.

Agreed 100%

Amaechi is too loose, he has forgotten that every word counts... It will be better for Buhari to caution him orelse.... You know the rest #DontKillNigeriaDream

This is one area I detest GEJ slow action.If I were the govt,I wouldn't consider d immunity clause at all for Gov Amaechi but will get him arrested and put him in Gashua prisons in Yobe state.GEJ should stop being gentle.

APC is bereft of morality they try to portray.

When you, in a fit of desperation, make such a divisive and cantankerous figure as Amaechi your campaign DG, you would duly reap this whirlwind playing out.

I daresay that Amaechi has unwittingly dealt a mortal blow to Buhari's chances of giving Jonathan a run for his money come February 14. Watch as PDP make all the political capital from this latest faux pas from Buhari's camp.

All the Members of APC are quite emotional and power hungry. Amaechi is trying to settle scores with President Jonathan as well win power for Buhari. He has so far staged both plots with emotion and desperation.
Supporting mutiny in army is anti-democratic,treasonable. In fact,it show that Amaechi as well as APC does not understand military at all and do not value democracy.
