Gov. Amaechi speaks on his fight with Patience Jonathan and GEJ

Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi says despite the effort by First Lady Patience Jonathan and the president to remove him from office, they are all leaving government at the same time. He said the president and his wife had wanted him to leave office before the end of his tenure but he is now seeing the end of his administration.

While speaking at the presentation of a special documentary titled 'The Amaechi Years', the governor said Patience Jonathan interfered with operations of the military apparatus in the state, ordering the transfer of military officers in the state just because they greeted him.


"People have asked me why I opposed President Goodluck Jonathan. When the fight started, instead of receiving money from the Federal government, we were sending money to the Federal Government. Have you seen a country where the Commissioner of Police reports to the wife of the President? That is happening in Rivers State. Have you seen a country where a Brigade Commander reports to the wife of the President or where the Navy Commander or Air force Commander reports to the wife of the President? This happened in Rivers State. The wife of the President will come, they will go and wait for her at the airport. She will tell them to come there at 9.00am, she will come by 12noon. They will escort her to her house, she will go upstairs and come down by 9.00pm and they will all be on ground waiting for her. She will say, I heard you greeted Amaechi last week. Why did you greet him? I will transfer you and you are transferred.
The more she did that, the more the President turned his back, and the more I fought because I felt that such a system is not a system that will make Nigeria grow. Why I agree with my friends who says forget the past because it is gone, I think it is a lesson. Governance is about the man that has been elected and he has the responsibility to deliver services to the people. There was a time when it was everywhere that the Supreme Court will remove Amaechi. That was on until we defeated them at the Supreme Court. I told the Rivers people to go about their business because I have finished praying and that President Jonathan cannot remove me. We are leaving at the same time. They didn’t want me to stay to the end, but here I am staying till the end.”he said

Amaechi took a risk and it paid off, he would have been impeached had he not fought like a lion.
GEJ lost the election when he lost Amaechi, through the help of Mama Peace.

Amaechi we don hear you, enough of your too much talk. Tell Buhari and APC to perform miracle and transform Nigeria. Allow GEJ and mama peace to rest! You wasted Rivers money on Buhari's campaign, it's unfortunate you will not be able to recover the wasted money from Buhari's administration,except the plans you,Tinubu and other APC members has about killing Buhari works. I rest my case.

God bless you my amiable governor. They thought they can rubbish you, but you fought back like a wounded lion, and you won. As that local man called Jonatharn he should go back to Otueke and continue washing his wifes pants for all we care. I salute you my governor, thanks for all you did to bring about this CHANGE. shepopotamous and her husband Jona doll should go and meet Wike they have 2 months in Rivers government house because that did not win any election.

He is a liar. He shut down all the courts in Rivers State. So it was for a very stupid childish reason of "greeting" that caused the problem. Lots of families with barristers as the breadwinners suffered a lot, just because of a fight that grew cuz of greetings. Immature unprofession illiterates we have as politians.

Haha Joan daft shame on you and mama piss. Smiling on the outside and demon on the inside. Slow poison! He is not wise if not he should know that some people can not be tampered with, God's special grace is upon them. Someone like Amechi is one them, Amechi the best governor rivers state has ever had God bless you real good.the rivers people criticizing Amechi wat an ungrateful lot you are, see the suffering your so called Jona is inflicting on the masses he practically destroyed nigeria, Amechi shld not talk because it his brother, stupid sentiments .,odili did nothing Jonathan did nothin, nyesom did almajiri schools. Meanwhile Waec and Neco fees are soo high! Amechi did roads, schools, employment despite the fact that he was under intense heat and fire from the presidency and almost everyone. God has vindicated you. Shebi nyesom wicked the tout is coming. When he was chairman it was hell in rivers especially for non indigenes now they say they r coming to collect mandate and flush all the non indigenes working in oil companies in rivers state and put their lazy ikewere people that don't go to school talkess of work. The only school they go to is school of law for the intention of dragging their Mumu land. No be rivers people?they would start criticizing nyesom soon. Let us watch and see.

sounds like a broken record. Patience Jonathan and GEJ have come to define Amaechi's legacy and his persona before the general public. that's all he talks about...its like an obsession.


1. how many jobs did he create for Rivers state youth?where? how?
2. which agricultural products did Rivers state start to export on his watch?
3. how many students started and completed their education because of his support?
4. to what extent did he re negotiate a better environmental pct for rivers state with the oil companies?
5. how much revenue has he generated for the state that he is now leaving behind
6. how many PPPs did his administration put in place to improve service delivery in rivers state?
7. what did he do with over 200billion he collected from excess crude account? and the other billions he collected as tax from shell, agip and co??

these are the types of things an outgoing Governor should be talking about...not everyday Patience Jonathan, Gooduck Jonathan.

Anonymous said...

ok so he fought goodluck and his wife and won? and so? that was amaechi struggling for his selfish political relevance. as an indigene of Rivers state that doesn't impress me AT ALL.

when we were all rejoicing at his emergence as governor (courtesy the supreme court not the voters) he promised to make my life better and leave a state that would be better off after he left it.

how did all this patience jonathan market quarrel improve my lot? after all, this fight didn't stop my outgoing governor from receiving billions from the excess crude account. what does Rivers state have to show for it?

Unknown said...

Amaechi is sure a comedian. His posture cracks me up. Linda take note!

Anonymous said...

Witch dey pray? for your information,the bitter truth is that you Amechi will never attain the height GEJ have attained in Nigeria till your political career ends no matter how many people you wish to bring down the way so stop throwing your tapes on GEJ as if you can measure up.....we are watching!

Anonymous said...

Amechi should be talking of unpaid salary. He is busy talk kitchen women talk. You are such an irresponsible governor. Jonathan is far above you. Just know that you brought fund for campaign doesn't make you important in APC. They will never give anything serious there. no better ministerial work. Maybe Niger delta agboro work. You are not sound at all. You drag power woman. Shame no catch DE talk am.

Are you serious? A mere to you, but dat fight almost killed him.my dear

Amaechi's talk always begins and ends with Patience Jonathan. now that he is an outgoing Governor, he needs to remember that as he is pointing one finger at the Jonathan's the remaining 4 are pointing back at him.

all those billions from excess crude account how far? tell us what you did for rivers people...that's what we want to know. tell us how you spent billions from the excess crude account, buying favour from your state legislators and trying to curry favour from Tinubu, Buhari and co.

from what i'm seeing sha, Buhari knows all about you and your kind. let the Nollywood movie continue...'TO GOD BE THE GLORY!"
