The Presidency through its Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, has described the allegations
made by Governor Rotimi Amaechi in which he alleged that the President did not
execute any project in Rivers State as false and baseless vituperations.
Abati accused Amaechi of peddling falsehood in order to
incite the people of Rivers State and the country against his assumed political
foes.
In the statement, Abati said:
“Governor Rotimi Amaechi took his obnoxious willingness to
denigrate the highest office in the land in a reckless bid to advance his
selfish political interests to a new level of irresponsible and rascally
behaviour yesterday (Saturday) in Port Harcourt with his totally false and
baseless vituperations against President Jonathan, the First Lady and the
Federal Government.
“It appears from the Governor’s completely unfounded and
off-the-mark allegations that he had totally lost all sense of propriety,
decorum and responsible political behaviour and resorted to unacceptable
demagoguery, libel, blackmail and incitement of public disorder.
“Unless his unbridled ambition and desire for self- promotion
have completely befuddled his mental faculties and caused him to totally lose
touch with reality, Governor Amaechi must know that his claims and allegations
are untrue.
“We can only assume therefore that he is deliberately
spewing malicious falsehood in a desperate effort to incite the people of
Rivers State and Nigeria against his assumed political foes.”
Abati did not hesitate to warn Amaechi that a day of
reckoning would come, and the Governor won’t be able to hide under the immunity
clause.
