The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has labeled Governor
Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State a big disgrace to the people of Niger Delta and
Rivers state in particular. The group through a press statement signed by its
National Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma messiah said the governor of Rivers state
has exposed the state and its people to public ridicule through his conducts
and statements. The group also warned the governor not to sell
The group said it was lamentable that Governor Rotimi Amaechi
of Rivers state used Rivers money to bring in foreigners to the state to attend
his 7 years anniversary. The group said the Rivers state governor should tell
Rivers people which known Rivers elders, women or youths that attended his so
called rally. The NDRO accused the governor and the All Progressive Congress
APC of hiring street urchins from the state and neighbouring states to make up
the crowd. “We are very much aware of the crowd hiring syndicate set up by the
governor to deceive the world that he is popular we will sdoon expose him for
the world to know who he is” the group said
The group also told Governor Amaechi that he as a leader
should understand that it is a civic duty and responsibility for all Nigerians
including him to respect the office of the President. It said it was irresponsible
for him to always insult President Goodluck Jonathan at the slightest opportunity.
The group urged the governor to borrow a leaf from other speakers at the event
who came and spoke without abusing the President. “The attitude of Governor
Rotimi Amaechi to always rain abuse on the President is irresponsible. He must
understand that if he intends to vie for any office he does not need to gain
popularity by abusing Mr. President. As far as we are concerned such conduct is
disgraceful as it is irresponsible” the group said.
The NDRO said it is supporting President Jonathan for second
term due to what he has achieved in the last four years. It warned Rivers
people to beware of the APC which it said has nothing to offer the state. “The
fact that Rivers people were conspicuously absent at Amaechi’s rally should be
an eye opener to Rivers people on what to expect if they allow the APC to win
the next election in the state.” the NDRO warned.
