Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers
state has reacted to yesterday’s statement from the presidency where he was
advised to stop political rascality and blackmail. Speaking through the state’s
Commissioner for Information, Ibim Semenitari, Governor Amaechi said there was
never a time he discussed First lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. He also described
Presidential Spokesman, Reuben Abati as the rascality within the Presidency
“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”.
