Amaechi: I’m Igbo, Jonathan who says his name is Azikiwe can’t speak the language

By Fredrick Nwabufo

Rotimi Amaechi, Rivers state governor, on Friday declared that he was Igbo and could speak the language while President Goodluck Jonathan whose other name is Azikiwe could not.

Speaking before a crowd of supporters at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign in Aba, Abia state, Amaechi said: I am a bona fide Igbo man.

“My name is Amaechi, but President Jonathan who says his name is Azikiwe cannot speak the Igbo language.”

“He says his name Ebele; let him speak Igbo and let us see.”

Meanwhile, Muhammadu Buhari, who was given the title of Ogbuagu 1 by the traditional ruler of Aba, emphasised that security and the economy remained the key issues in his campaign.

He extolled the entrepreneurial abilities of the Igbo, assuring them that his government would create jobs through farming and mining for the unskilled youth while local entrepreneurs would be encouraged.

“The Igbo people ARE hardworking and my government would do everything possible to ensure that the people are empowered,” he said.

“The main concern of the APC is to make sure there are no idle Nigerian youths roaming the streets without jobs.”

Rotimi is not and will never be an igbo name.Amaechi is an ikwerre man and ikwerres has declared that they are not igbos so what is this man talking about he even claimed gej is favouring igbos over SS if he was an igboas he claims he would have been happy over this apparent favoritism
Meanwhile GEJ till amaechi finds his true roots

Ngwakwe:
Is Rotimi Amaechi not the person that asked Goodluck Jonathan if they (Rivers State people) are Biafrans?

Playing both sides of the game for political gains.

vanbonattel:

ovadoze:
Noooooooo, Rotimi u are Ikwerre not Igbo abeg which part of Igboland if I may ask is Rotimi from, we re not supporting GEJ because he bears Igbo name(s) and his own Ebele is not even Igbo..........

Eziachi:
The part of Igboland called Ikwerre. The rest being Ngwa, Orsu, Ijejebee, Wawa, Owerre, Ogboo, Igboland Ariam etc . Learn your history.

Abagworo:


He is only making it clear that Ikwerre is related to Igbo more than Ogbia.

maestroferddi:
Oga you are Ikwerre and stop insulting the Igbo language by your funny attempt to speak it.

I thought you said Abia State and Jonathan connived to steal oil wells belonging to Rivers State.

How come you had the effrontery to go to Abia State and spread falsehood?
