Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, has threatened to expose some Abuja-based politicians from the
state owing to the crisis currently rocking the Peoples Democratic Party
in the state.
Amaechi, who said he was no more running
for any political position, added that the people of the state would
lose their respect for his critics by the time he opened up on their
past deeds.
Amaechi, who spoke when the Archbishop
of the Niger Delta Diocese, Anglican Communion, Archbishop Ignatius
Kattey, paid him a courtesy visit in Port Harcourt on Wednesday lamented
that nobody realised the efforts put in place by his administration to
ensure that peace reigned in the state.
He said, “I will speak to the state, but
not now. When I speak to the state, you will not respect any of these
people (Abuja-based politicians from Rivers). I am now determined to
open up.
“I am not running for any other position that they would say ‘you must manage information so that people can trust you’.
“Nobody realises how much effort we have put in place for people to walk on the streets.
“Nobody realises how much money we have
put in place to make people walk on the streets. All they are interested
in is how they would bring down those efforts. So, as men of God, you
must stand for the truth and preach the truth.”
Earlier, Kattey prayed for God to grant
Amaechi the grace, strength and wisdom to continue to perform and
overcome any challenge.
The cleric lauded the governor for his
achievements in the state, saying, “Your Excellency’s administration has
made landmark achievements in all sectors of our economy.”
Meanwhile, the State Commissioner for
Finance, Mr. Chamberlain Peterside, has said he was not afraid of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over an alleged missing $10m.
Peterside, who spoke in a radio
interview in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, was reacting to the controversy
surrounding the Bombardier jet purchased by the state government.
The commissioner insisted that no money
was missing in the state government account, adding that the state runs a
tight and robust system.
