Failure of governor Chibuike Amaechi to set up a transition committee to interface with the one constituted by the governor elect in Rivers state, Bar Nyesom Wike has been described as an act of impunity.
Secretary of the Transition Committee set up by the Governor Elect, Hon Frank Owhor who briefed the media Thursday at the chamber in the office of the Deputy Governor, old Government House, Port Harcourt said the constitution of Transition Committees by the Governor Elect and the outgoing governor had been the practice in the nation’s democracy since 1999.
Owhor who said it was unfortunate and hypocritical that governor Amaechi who allehedly refused to set up a Transition committee in his state after his candidate lost the guber election was busy in Abuja as a member of a transition Committee interfacing with the one set up by the federal government to ensure smooth transition of power on May 29 .
“In the current democratic dispensation the federal government t led by President Goodluck Jonathan has already set up a transition committee . President Elect General Mohammadu Buhari has also set up his transition committee which incidentally has governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi CON, as a member.
Unfortunately the outgoing government of Rivers state led by governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has refused , failed and neglected to set up its transition commiittee. It is ironic , hypocritical and smacks of double standards that the outgoing governor of Rivers state, Hon Chibuike Amaechi who is a prominent of the transition committee of the President Elect has rejected all entraties for a peaceful transition in the state..”, he said.
Continuing the Transition Committee of the governor elect said all efforts it had made to interface with the state government were rebuffed. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

DeleteBlood letter!
Have u forgotten that wike started The problem mr.transition committee😢
ReplyDeleteIt is surprising how people keep blind to a wrong so long as the wrong is perpetuated by who they support. Wike has been declared governor elect until declared otherwise by INEC or court of law. Shouldn't Amaechi respect that, despite his averse or disagreement with the situation? Is Amaechi the law of the land. He still wants to make an already tense Rivers state hotter? Does that man love his state at all?
ReplyDeleteAnd someone here who doesn't know the implications is still supporting something so wrong? Simply because it is Amaechi, right? Talk of intellectual hypocrisy.
Forget about who started what and just do the right thing to command respect like Jonathan at the federal level. With or without Amechi & Wike, Rivers will go on. So hand over power duly and go to court if you have any grievances.
ReplyDeleteHahaahaha tribunal has already been set up, Amechi what is your problem again? Are you not tired of the bloodshed? I know it will come to this, with the court on strike, the no chief judge tactics. Where you sleeping? You were busy running to Abj and lost Election still you dnt want to rest.
