Rivers PDP not happy over Amaechi’s comments about his opponents

Rotimi Amaechi
The Felix Obuah-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State has expressed its displeasure over what it described as the manner Governor Rotimi Amaechi has allegedly continued to ‘embarrass’ the party and people of the state by making misguided statements.

The party, which said it was reacting to recent remarks by Governor Amaechi at the opening of the Sixth Port Harcourt Book Festival at the Hotel Presidential, Port Harcourt, claimed that the Governor used the occasion to insult some elder statesmen and political leaders both in the state and the nation, including the Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike and the Acting Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Chibudom Nwuche.

The PDP in the statement said it strongly believed that the governor had never shown any disposition to genuinely embrace, initiate or ensure the return of peace in the state as his comments point to the fact that he was enjoying the crisis and confrontation with the state and the national leadership of the party.

The party, therefore requested “whoever has access to the adventurous traveling Governor to advise him (if he will heed such advice) to discontinue abusing the privileges he enjoys as the Governor of the State, and respect himself and office, and to give respect to whom respect is due especially at public events”.

Governor Amaechi had described his critics as lazy people who had failed in their careers, and were looking for means to get into the government house, with the intention of looting the treasury.

The academic body has taken things even further by warning parents not to allow their wards resume in schools to avoid risking the lives of their children.

Corruption: There is no governance in Nigeria – Ezekwesili

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
