The Presidency and Rivers
State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, are in a fresh war of words
over allegations that President Goodluck Jonathan is training
snipers and keeping 1,000 people on a watch list.
While the governor stated that he was
the number one person on the President’s watch list and that he had evidence
to support this assertion, the Presidency said the governor was like a
drunken man in a china shop who was only interested in bringing down everybody
with him.
The Presidency further dared the
governor to prove his allegation.
The governor, who spoke through his
Chief of Staff, Government House, Chief Tony Okocha, in Port Harcourt, on
Thursday, said that he was waiting for the invitation of the National Human
Rights Commission.
Obasanjo had, in a letter dated
December 2, 2013, accused Jonathan of putting 1,000 people on a watch list and
having a killer-squad. Obasanjo had also accused the President of training
snipers. The President has denied these allegations, calling on the former
president to provide evidence to back his allegations.
But at the All Progressives Congress
rally, held at the Liberation Stadium, Port Harcourt on Saturday, Amaechi said
that he was number one on Jonathan’s watch list.
He had said: “I read the President’s
letter; he said Obasanjo should prove and name those on the list. I am number
one on the list. I am number one.”
Okocha said that the governor
had enough evidence to back his statement.
He said, “The governor knows what he
is talking about and this is not just a claim; it is what is happening. There
are indices the governor will use to buttress his point. We will not make
many comments now until the invitation from the NHRC comes.”
He stated, “One thing you should know
is that Governor Amaechi does not say one thing today on an issue and say
another thing tomorrow on the same issue. You are aware of the battle between
us and the police. Considering all we have passed through in the hands of the
police, would anybody doubt the fact that the governor is on the Presidency’s
watch list?”
However, the Presidency
dared Amaechi to go ahead and prove his allegation that he is one
of the 1,000 persons on the alleged political watch list of the
President.
Special Adviser to the President on
Political Matters, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, threw the challenge in an interview on Thursday.
Gulak said it was clear to all that
Amaechi had completely lost bearing and that Nigerians were aware of the
governor’s antics.
According to him, no sane
man would be talking like the governor is talking to the President.
He said, “Let him (Amaechi) go ahead
and prove his claim. I don’t really want to talk about him because he has lost
credibility. He is just like a drunken man in a china shop that wants to bring
down everybody with him.
“Nigerians are aware of his antics.
He has completely lost bearing and the support of the people. When a leader
loses the support of his people while still in office, he will react like a mad
dog. No sane man will be talking to the President the way Amaechi is doing.”

Mr. Ameachi is an Indian hemp smoker nd cocaine taker , It will soon get clear from ur face. U will face the music. Rivers state belongs to us not u . U re just representing ur selfish interest.
ReplyDeleteThe child that got druken most ve learnt or fed by the father. Amechi copy the act from the presidency (president) hapharzadly. Moreover south-southers re known to be drunkard .be mindful Mallam Gulak or whatever is ur name . Well , I ve nver blame you coz you re only doin the job paid for. If you( Gulak) claimed would ve been true ( even when Amechi is on the side of the true) ; you ve blatantly metetd out the same measure to him . How dared u insulted an elected executive as if he is politically appointee?!. Who even told you he has lost credibility to his pple. I wonder if you took the job of the mouth piece to the Rivelines . Truth most prevail !!
ReplyDeleteThat's what GEJ wife wants war of words,may be getting more physical in arms,gunfire&bloodshed.
ReplyDeleteWe the Igbos of southeast will not and never put our hands in any form of cajouling either frm GEJ or RA of rivers state.
They both fought against us during the biafaran war,I guess its nemesis catching up with them,they should kill themselves.
Upon the massive rigging and votes given to GEJ,during his presidential election in d eastern states,what did he pay us back with,immediately he was sworn in?
Thunder fire all of them,even the so called APC,birds of same feathers,Idiotic Zombies,
Their father, Occult Grand Master Obasanjo,he days are at hand,decietful fool,sowing seeds of disharmony,apprehension,calumnyand calamity,he should remember he fought against the disunity of the ill concieved state of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,a useless state where there's enslavement of the poor,impunity and absolute violation of rule of law and order.
A country where the President wife,possesses and wields more power other than an elected office holder.Even is there anything like politics for the people and by the people?
No,I disagree in d useless context of d state of nigeria,what is practiced is enforcement of persons.
Commentators, let's guide our utterances as these insults & insinuations coming from us may mare our future. Remember bible strongly condem passing judgement on our fellow human, rather let's pray & put all oue hope & trust in God hands Posterity will take its course
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about?. So the lawyers are doing wrong? Let them kill you brother and wait for God to judge... Mumu
DeleteHmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteAhmed gulak reminds me of saddam hussein's minister of information who continues to tell the world of how many american soldiers they have captured untill he was captured like a child. Where is that guy now? History books I guess.
ReplyDeleteAhmed Gulak or what do u call ur name,we all know GEJ is d drunkard & who told u Amechi has lost credibility wit his people,not only Rivers people are behind him we credible & reasonable & honesty Nigerians are solidly behind him,how else can he talk to d president who has lost credibility among Nigerians long time ago,how else can one talk to a looter of our treasures massively & sponsorers of kidnappers,backers of crude oil thieves,trainners of snippers,traitor,ditator,greedy fellow,ingrate among other ungodly activites of GEJ
ReplyDeleteRaphael,people like u do not posses a leadership trait,u ll alwys be at d back seat,imagine leadership stats frm ur immediate family,but d way u sound shows dat ur family is in disaray,u ve lost everything and now u are becomin frustrated pls becareful
DeleteRaph again, a man dat is quick to condem, impugn & defame leaders character witout valide evidence, leads or premise. Ur shortcoming is becoming excessive as u find hard to be reasonable in presenting ur thought & undue sarcasm. Could u be objective in presenting ur issues witout raising abuses on somebody & again try not be a chauvinist. I hope u wl ne a leader in ur family where wife & children will not insult or disobey u simply bcos u re not dancing to the tune of musicc they want. Ponder over this...Cheers
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 11:52am,why are u been sentimental,is Amechi not a leader,an elected governor of River state & dat foolish come n chop appointed Gulak saying he is insane & calling him a China drunkard wen we all knew Jonathan is d drunkard,why can't u people always say d truth,Jonathan has been a bad leader to us & a bad lucky to dis country,starting 4rm fuel subsidy in which we went thru hardship to d suffering & hunger d people are going thru presently,now he is selling our refineries,d power holders(NEPA)he sold has gone 4rm bad to worst except 4 d few rich wit good generators wit money to buy fuel enjoys electric light constantly,so why won't we curse him & his family & people wit him stealing our crude oil & also looting our money everyday including stealing reserve money(d missing 8 trillion naire & billions of dollars dat NNPC refused to remitt into national purse)
ReplyDeleteThe Ijaws are more of habitual drunkards than the Ikweres, who are known to be accademias and industrious people.jonathan is a colossal failur and will be returned to otuoke where ogogoro is their water. Oloshi.
ReplyDeleteI will not wast my time to talk to Gulak who does not know the ethnic group in his home state. Am not surprise bcos he was not screened by senate. A daft . Can he go on debate with Ameachi? The question he should ask himself now is ,if Jonathan is sent back to Utuoke, where will he be? Olodo.
ReplyDeleteGulak or black what so ever u call ur self u are a vividly liar and corrupted if u are talking on the issue of drunkness people in the world witned the leader that lost of sobering us to stop him from delivering his speech and at last u and like u beside the drunks leader give a falsefied excuses by saying the staggard embliser in not in good health condition.mtsu to hell with all of those in this Govnt
