Rivers: “Amaechi is an Oppressor” – Felix Obuah

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Felix Obuah has described Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi as an oppressor.

Obuah also said Amaechi was being used by members of the opposition parties to destroy the PDP and frustrate the 2nd term ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan.

He made the assertion at a programme organized by the Grassroot Development Initiative, GDI, held in Kpite-Ogoni in Rivers State.

According to him, “I want to thank the members of the GDI for what they are doing, for mobilizing support for our own President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. I want to thank you for your transformation agenda, for your liberation, for all you have done to bring us from the hands of the oppressor, the Governor of Rivers State, Governor Rotimi Amaechi”.

Obuah also accused Amaechi of lavishing state funds on ‘irrelevant’ projects vowing that he “will stop at nothing to make sure Amaechi accounts for the huge amount of resources that have accrued to the state”.
He continued: “I will make sure that I call the Governor to give account of all the trillions that has accrued to Rivers State. Upon all the money he has been spending, there is nothing to show that we have a Governor in this state”.

Obuah later added that in the next election, “before we appoint any leader to any position of worth, we must make sure they go for psychiatric test because most of our leaders are mad. We can no longer take the kind of leadership we have in this state”, he said.

Pioneer Director-General of Budget Monitoring and Price Intelligence Unit (Due Process Unit), Dr Oby Ezekwesili, has called on Nigerian leaders to take seriously, the corruption charges levelled against Nigeria by economy monitoring organisations, both nationally and internationally. She spoke at a forum on leadership organised by the Day Star Christian Centre in Lagos on Wednesday. According to her, if the current administration claims to be fighting corruption and rating bodies still scores the country high in graft, it means no significant progress had been made in the fight against the menace. Ezekwesili, a chartered accountant and a co-founder of Berlin-based Transparency International, said after 53 years of independence, Nigeria had no governance but merely “massive transaction of operations”. She said: “There is no good governance in Nigeria. Good governance is about governance that gives the highest possible results and it is on
