Rivers Crisis: Amaechi Too Smallfor Jonathan – Presidency by Tolexander: 8:09pm On Jul 10, 2013
ABUJA – THE
Presidency,Wednesday,
described the call by the Action
Congress of Nigeria (ACN) for the
removal of President Goodluck
Jonathan over the crisis rocking
the Rivers State House of
Assembly as a flawed position.
According to the Presidency,
President Jonathan was
absolutely not connected and
also not involved in the Rivers
State political quagmire, just as it
stressed that Governor Chibuike
Amaechi was too small politically
for President Jonathan to fight
with.

That's true. Rotimi Ameachi is just too small for the President politically. Rotimi is being used by some northern contractors to create division in the south south region of Nigeria. The north knows that Goodluck Jonathan will win the Presidency come 2015. That's why they are doing everything in their power to create hatred and division in the southern part of Nigeria. It's important for south people to know that it's for their best interest to support the President.
The middle belt of Nigeria for example has resolved to support the President. Rotimi has no chance.
Rotimi Ameachi is just a puppy.

TEXT OF A PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS,DR DOYIN OKUPE ON WEDNESDAY 10TH JULY, 2013.

Gentlemen of the Press,
The reaction of the Action Congress of Nigeria to the event in the Rivers State House of Assembly as contained in a Press release issued by the party’s publicity secretary this afternoon calls for concern by all patriotic Nigerians.

The statement blamed Mr President for the crisis and accused him of abhorrence for the rule of law, and supporting a group of Rivers state Assembly members to disrupt proceedings in the House.

Once again, this position of the ACN is another condemnable, extremist and fundamentally flawed position by the opposition party.

For the avoidance of doubt and at the risk of repetitiveness,we wish to state categorically that in spite of what the ACN will want the Nigerian people to believe, President Goodluck Jonathan is absolutely unconnected and definitely not involved in the political crisis that seemed to have engulfed Rivers State in recent times.

The President is not, has not and will never engineer any act that can cause disaffection between Governor Rotimi Amaechi or any other Governor and the state legislature or any other institution of government.

To avid watchers of Nigerian politics, President Goodluck Jonathan has not shown himself as a person who will deploy his immense constitutional powers against any governor or democratic institution to achieve personal goals.

Since his election as President, his personal and official mien reveals a personality that has utmost and distinct respect for democracy and rule of law.

It is sad therefore, that despite repeated clarifications including one recently made by ACN Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti state absolving President Goodluck Jonathan from the NGF crisis, Alhaji Lai Muhammed in his characteristic deafness to truth, continues to mischievously drag the exalted office of the President into controversies arising from the election of the Chairman of the Nigeria Governor’s Forum.

The call by the Action Congress of Nigeria for the impeachment of Mr President based on these frivolous, unsubstantiated allegations is the limit of tolerable nonsense and a clear descent into inglorious political rascality.

It is now increasingly obvious that the desperation of the ACN to bullishly acquire power by all means and at all cost, including mindless precipitation of anarchy, disaffection and break down of public order is the driving force behind their incessant, irresponsible and unpatriotic politics of hate and deceit and their high propensity to fan the embers of national discord, disunity and social disorder.

We therefore call on our distinguished and honorable parliamentarians and the general public to ignore and disregard the self-serving and unpatriotic call for impeachment of the President by the Action Congress of Nigeria.

Thank You

DR DOYIN OKUPE

SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS

10TH JULY, 2013

Gold, Bonds, And Stocks Soar As Bernanke Promises Moar | Zero Hedge

Good news everyone. Ben Shalom Bernanke just announced that they will be no tapering and Quantitative Easing will continue into the foreseeable future. Thus, Oil will climb and all other asset classes and the hedge funds who have bought our government bonds will only bring more money in to find a channel for the excessive money printing of the US Federal Reserve destroying bond yields on their own turfs.

Thank God the economic explosion is not going to happen soon. Life goes on.
