The self-acclaimed Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly,
Evans Bipi, has vowed that Governor Chibuike Amaechi would pay for his
attack on President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Dame Patience,
immediately he leaves office.
Bipi told journalists in Port Harcourt, yesterday, that Amaechi had
been taking advantage of his immunity to disparage Jonathan and his
wife indiscriminately.
“It is regrettable that Rotimi Amaechi has consistently insulted and
disparaged a sitting President and his wife with impunity in abuse of
his immunity as a governor.
We feel pained that we are constrained to take necessary action against him because of the immunity, which he enjoys.
“In less than eight months from now, Amaechi will be made to answer
for all his actions against President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife,
Dame Patience Jonathan.”
He vowed: “Wherever Amaechi likes, let him run to after his tenure as
governor; we must surely get him to answer for all his libelous
utterances, rascality and inciting public disorder against the
president and his wife.”
Bipi, who is the leader of the anti-Amaechi lawmakers of the state
House of Assembly and coordinator of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
caucus, Wakirike extraction, accused the governor of squandering N19
billion to organise the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in
the state.
Also, he debunked the governor’s allegation that the First Lady,
Dame Jonathan, wanted him to share the resources of the state with her
and challenged Amaechi to prove his claims.
He said: “We also challenge Governor Amaechi to prove his allegation
that the First Lady sent ex-militants to stage protest against him for
refusing to share Rivers money with her. These allegations by the
governor are false and baseless.”
The lawmaker representing Ogu/Bolo Constituency alleged that
Amaechi’s wife, Dame Judith, collected N36 million meant for
constituency projects for her pet project.
He, however, urged the governor’s kinsmen to call him to order
against further attack on the president and his wife, as failure to heed
to the warning, would have unfavourable consequences...post by expdonaloaded
