Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State has called on Nigerians to vote out President Goodluck Jonathan over his inability to achieve anything meaningful since he assumed office six years ago.
Amaechi who described Jonathan as “I will do’’ president affirmed that Nigeria would no longer welcome Jonathan’s empty promises of ‘I will do’.
The governor who doubles as the DG of the Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation made this call in Benin, the Edo State capital during the presidential rally of the party in the state.
Addressing the mammoth crowd that came out to welcome the Peoples General on Thursday, Amaechi mocked Jonathan for admitting that he had not achieved anything since he came on board during his rally in Port Harcourt.
Speaking on Jonathan’s promises, Amaechi said: “Yesterday, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in person of Goodluck Jonathan admitted that he had not done anything in the South South region. You heard him.
NE recalls that Jonathan had admitted the criticism by Governor Amaechi that his government has not done anything for the people of Rivers State.
President Jonathan, who spoke during the presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Igwuruta-Ali, Ikwerre Local Government of Rivers State, however yesterday, promised to develop the South-South region if elected for a second term in office.
““We did not divide North or South; we made sure that all the states that had no federal university got a federal university. I am not going to comment on development in Rivers State and Bayelsa states. I can reassure you that just work with us; vote for us on February 14”
Reacting further, Amaechi said, ”He only promised to do and not what he had done. Our responsibility is to get a man who is capable of making things happen. He told us to vote for him that he will do.”
Do you know what I call him now? I will do president. If you listen to his speech all he keep saying is I will do and not I have done. You will agree with me that all the projects in south south region of the country were erected by a northerner.
And our president after six years is still telling us that ‘I will do’. I tell you it is time to vote out I will do President and vote in a man who has good records of achievements? One thing about trust is when it is betrayed, you can never repair it. Jonathan has betrayed the trust, it is time to push him out.
‘’If our president has not been able to perform, what do we do to him,” the crowed chorused, ”let’s vote him out.’’ Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteHelp me ask Amaechi how many of his projects are completed. Trans Kalabari road was his campaign tool and he left it that way. We await May 29 for us to bid this man that the judiciary and Odili foisted on us farewell.

ReplyDeleteOboy, the thing tire me oh! I hope we won't regret our actions today.
DeleteThose who have eyes are seeing what Jona has done, but the blind ones will never see it. Change my asssss. If he had done so much for south south they will label him a south south president. You can never satisfy human beings, just do your best and leave the stage. amechi is a useless maggot, runs his mouth any how, I sincerely hope his candidate wins because if the reverse is the case, I comment my reserve.
DeleteChange !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, Amaechi you stand vindicated. When you say Jona has done nothing for the South-south, people called and keep calling you names, but the horse has spoken himself agreeing with you. Shame? on him and his die-hard supporters who of course are beneficiaries of his corrupt government.
ReplyDeleteA country that has decayed for donkey years will not take just 6yrs to fix. 11.44pm who ever you are you tried, keep it up
ReplyDeleteThe major problem with the president's campaign is lack of articulation. It is so pathetic that the handlers of the campaign rather than focus on what he's achieved as excellently done by @anonymous 11:44pm spend 90% of their time discrediting Buhari. This is part of the game but seem to have overshadowed his own performance in office. And unfortunately, the human brain recalls bad faster than good. So all Nigerians remember are Bokoharam/ Chibok - portraying the president as a weak C-in-C and Corruption in the corridors of power. Watch the Buhari Campaign - they pick very few areas GEJ has not shown leadership and hammer the change drum hard - insecurity and corruption being foremost. Same consultants that packaged Obama are working for Buhari. Who is packaging Jonathan and cannot enumerate his achievements the way an annonymous socail commentator online is doing. So sad for this team.
ReplyDeletevictor balogun.
