We have been there before now, and name-calling among
Nigerian politicians is nothing new to most of us; at least not to those of us
who have been following politics for a while now. The latest gist is that
Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi today in Port Harcourt blasted the
President for non-performance.
He said the current administration led by President Goodluck
Jonathan has turned corruption to an industry in Nigeria. ”We will not allow
thieves to rule us as governor or as president in 2015. I challenge them to an
integrity test. Don’t worry their files are with me until the time comes.”
Amaechi challenged the President to point to one federal
project he has cited in Rivers state for about two million votes he got from
the state.
“Our Port Harcourt International Airport which he flies has
been abandoned. All the Soku oil wells in Kalabari land have been taken to
Bayelsa, while 40 oil wells belonging to our people have been taken to Abia
state. As governor how can I call a President who has taken away the wealth I
swore to protect my brother?”
He said Jonathan’s campaigners allege that the President
could not execute any project in the state because of his frosty relationship
with him. He asked why the President has not worked on the deplorable road
between Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers?
