The Rivers State Governor and Chairman of
the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, has given President Goodluck
Jonathan one condition to return to the
Peoples Democratic Party.
Amaechi said he was ready to go back to the
PDP if Jonathan would return Rivers oil wells
ceded to neighbouring Bayelsa State.
The governor, who spoke on Monday during a
rally organised by the All Progressives
Congress at the Liberation Stadium in Port
Harcourt, said despite the 2.1 million votes
Jonathan received in the state in 2011, the
Federal Government had not executed any
project in Rivers.
He dismissed claims that the ceding of Rivers
oil wells in Soku to Bayelsa State was done
during the tenure of former Governor Rufus
Ada George.
Amaechi said, “We gave the President nearly
2.1 million votes. Let him tell us one project
he has done for us. I have challenged the
President that I belong to APC. If he wants me
back in PDP, let him return the oil wells to
the Kalabari people and I will come back.
“But the President cannot. Instead, he will
take more. One of our sons, a Kalabari son,
said the oil wells were taken under Rufus Ada-
George. Tell him I say he is lying. He never
served in any government. I served under
Ada-George government and there was no oil
well taken from Rivers State then.
“I served under Dr. Peter Odili. The oil well
was taken in 2006. They put the money in an
escrow account and by 2007, 2008, 2009 and
2010, they took all the money and gave to
our brothers and they converted Soku to
Bayelsa.”
