The Rivers State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has called on the people of the state to vote out the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government in the 2015 election to secure their future.
Amaechi said the PDP had nothing to offer Kalabari people and maintained that the only way for the people to regain their lost oil wells and benefit from democratic governance was to vote out the PDP.
The governor spoke at the weekend in Degema Local Government Area of the state after commissioning an 8,000 capacity football stadium complex built by the local government.
Amaechi explained that President Goodluck Jonathan was taking sides in the Soku oil wells dispute, saying, “In the meeting before Kalabari Chiefs, Mr. President said to us, ‘you people call it Soku, we from Bayelsa call it Oluasiri’. Is Soku Oluasiri?,” Amaechi queried.
Explaining that the people of the state have no faith in the President to return the oil wells, Amaechi explained that the revenue from the oil wells was already being spent by Bayelsa because they were in the presidency.
He stressed that the opportunity before the peoples of the state was to vote President Jonathan out of power, adding that the President will not serve the interest of Rivers people.
“As President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he is not supposed to take sides. The moment he said it (disputed oil wells) is called Oluasiri, he is taking sides and we have no faith in Mr. President returning our oil wells.
“They have taken the (Soku) oil wells; they are spending the money because they have the Presidency. The only way you can get back your oil wells is to vote out Mr. President.
“The only opportunity you have now is your vote. Vote him out, he is not Rivers, He is from Bayelsa. He has not and will not serve us and I have said here, let Mr. President tell us what he has done for us,” he said.
Amaechi expressed regret that his efforts to build Trans-Kalabari Road in the state and reconstruct the Emohua-Abonnema federal road currently in a deplorable condition was frustrated by President Jonathan.
Calling on the people to fight for their rights by using their voting strength to push out the ruling PDP, the governor recalled that the President specifically told him not to work on the road since it was a federal road.

ReplyDeleteThis man will not learn because of his greed. He sold his brother because of power and he is not repenting. Don't worry u will account for all the money you stole when you are out.
ReplyDeleteAmeachi , am sorry for you have made yourself a laughing stock for Nigerian people , it might be u are claiming to play politics. You appear frustrated fighting from home for we will not support you as opposition to GEJ.Jonathan is good and thinks maturely as a leader in PDP not Criminals which u chose to join in APC.
ReplyDeleteAmeachi is a nobody in this country, if he chose to play politics of rancor and hatred just because GEJ is from Niger Delta , by insulting our son and feed from him. Let him know that his days are numbered. He should urgently relocate to North as a prodical son of Niger Delta. By 2015 he will tell his story to the whole world when the result of his insult to Nigerians will come.
ReplyDeleteAm disapppointed at Amechi, this can not happen in the North you are against your own brother who is more of a brother to you Buhari, Atiku or Jonathan ? You are selfish man
ReplyDeleteRotimi is from Ondo or Osun state that is why he didn't value the culture and interest of Niger delta people is a total stranger . Thesame PDP that elected him became his enemy . For me I can't vote for the man that said " the blood of baboon and dog will be soak" neither will I vote for the man that privatize Nigeria
ReplyDeleteI'm not from Niger Delta, but I feel Ameachi is making a big mistake. Some how, I've never lijed his comment, b/c he seems to be more of party concerned than the people. I also remember some time ago he said they are all thieves including himself that Nigerians should drive them away with stones, now he's condeming somebody through a party affair, that means you need be stoned first as you are one of the people the masses are looking for as you even lack direction.
ReplyDeleteTalking machine. A man in whose tenure two arms of govt are under lock and key yet he blames everyone and everything for his woes. We are marking time for this repulsive and repugnant era to come to an end. You think because you have a degree in English you can deceive everyone SHAME ON YOU
ReplyDeleteAmechi Amechi you are a big fool the Lord Almighty rebuke you for fighting His Elect. The Church is also watching and your fail is at hand.you are fighting the finger that feed you because of your selfish interest.dont worry!
