Amaechi blasts Tukur over APC sponsorship allegation

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, yesterday, took up issues with the embattled National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhanji Bamanga Tukur, for accusing him of sponsoring All Progressives Congress, APC.

The governor, who spoke through his Information and Communications Commissioner, Ibim Semenitari, said it was unbecoming of Tukur to make such a wild allegation that was not backed by any thread of evidence.

A statement by the Commissioner read: “The attention of Rivers State Government has been drawn to comments credited to Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, alleging that Governor Rotimi Amaechi is sponsoring All Progressives Congress, APC.



“The Government of Rivers State finds this statement rather unfortunate and incongruous coming from the same person who, only in February, roundly commended Governor Amaechi, describing him as one of the brightest lights of Peoples’ Democratic Party and one of the country’s best performing governors.

“We are certain that Governor Amaechi is still a member of Peoples’ Democratic Party and has remained so despite the shenanigans of unscrupulous persons and the humiliation meted out to his person and office by the party leadership.

[b]“Perhaps we should remind Alhaji Tukur of his own words uttered after two days of exhaustive inspection of the projects undertaken by Amaechi’s administration.

“Tukur had declared, after the visit, that ‘God has given us land, water and people.

‘If you take our people and give them education, a secured environment and sustainability, so that things can keep revolving and evolving, making it a continuous process, that state or nation becomes a developed nation.

‘Without mincing words, since Friday, when I arrived Port Harcourt at noon, I have been inspecting one project or the other till this morning (Saturday). It is very difficult to praise your son because he (Amaechi) is the best for me.’

“Also speaking at a dinner party held in his honour, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur declared that the ‘PDP will never lose to any party if transformational leaders like Governor Amaechi remain behind the party.

“He said ‘Believe me, PDP will never lose to any party, if people like Governor Amaechi stand boldly behind us. We will win and continue to win in any election… support your governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amae-chi; support our party, then be sure to win your elections’.

[/b]
“We are happy to remind Alhaji Tukur that his comments only reiterated what other party leaders like President Goodluck Jonathan and Chief Tony Anenih have said about Governor Amaechi and his judicious use of the people’s resources.

“Governor Amaechi’s commitment to Rivers people is unambiguous and unwavering.”

You'd have to be a bed ridden, geriatric politician in Nigeria before your senility can ever be called into question.
As long as you are "breathing fire"; "storming conventions"; and/or "issuing directives from palatial mansions" all is generally considered well grin

I would just like to point out that the SE voted for Yar'Adua, OBJ, and GEJ over Ojukwu from 1999- till date.

Yes - Ojukwu ran for office all those times before he passed.

Now the SE is celebrating GEJ while their brightest light, their very own Tinubu, is being harassed and attacked. I leave you with the 2007 election count.



That "DIM Chukwuem" is Ojukwu. He only recieved 155,974 votes in total.

Yar'Adua earned over 24.8 million votes total and won over 98% in the SE. shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

Ride on Amaechi! Bring your people to the promised land by fire or force. "Any government in power" syndrome in the SE must be defeated. grin

No wonder [s]another maniac (in his own way) in [/s]the person of Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon retorted that he was maniacally bewildered at PDP's scientific breakthrough in which 16 was greater than 19 and 5 greater than 27. Nothing is impossible in PDP grin

Tukur said Ameachi was one of his brightest son but that was before he became a prodigal son he also said he is always welcome back home when he is back to his senses fullstop......

Amaechi is not different from them, he is a thug. There are bad roads every where in Rivers, he should attend to them first. Building schools is good but no good roads to walk to those schools children fall into mud water on their way to school. Amaechi has not done anything reasonable in his second tenure in office as the governor of Rivers, sentiments apart.
