Rotimi Amaechi
Following the exchanges between Rivers State governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and the Presidency, immediate past chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Power, and governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Mr. Beks Dagogo-Jack, has advised the governor to desist from disrespecting the President.
Noting that it was painful that Governor Amaechi had gradually but steadily developed the penchant to publicly address President Goodluck Jonathan with so much disrespect and rudeness not good for politics, he said: “The recent spate of verbal attacks by Amaechi on President Jonathan has all the hallmarks of frustration and a totally misdirected anger.”
Last weekend, Amaechi accused the Federal Government of marginalizing Rivers State in terms of projects and development and challenged the Presidency to point to any significant project it had executed in the state.
Reacting to the challenge, Dagogo-Jack said the governor was heaping “all sorts of unfounded accusations and personal insults on the President and the First Lady.
Any rational mind who listens attentively to our governor at each public outing these days would easily see acute personal frustration and desperation that clearly fuels these unnecessary personal attacks on Mr President, yet these attacks by Amaechi which have been going on for years, but gained greater momentum and frequency these past months, have not diminished the credibility and popularity of Mr President in Rivers and sister states in the region.”
If anything, President Jonathan’s image in our region remains high and undented. I call on Ameachi to give up the campaign and accept that he can never make Rivers people dislike their son.”
