Some prominent leaders of the South-South geo–political zone
on Tuesday described the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi as a
consummate politician and one of the greatest discoveries in the political
landscape of the current republic. According to them, “Rotimi Amaechi is a man
of impeccable character” The leaders also described Governor Nyesom Wike as a
dangerous partner for peace and progress, accusing him of non-performance as
governor of the state.
The leaders in a statement signed by chairperson of the
South-South Political Congress (SSPC), Mrs. Ibifuro Tatua, also said that the
leaders commended Amaechi for the unity, stability and overall development of
Rivers State. The statement which was issued after a closed-door meeting in
Port-Harcourt, added that the leaders condemned Wike for his alleged careless
utterances. They described as mischievous the declaration by Wike that “Amaechi
is jealous”.
The leaders praised Amaechi for leading the people well,
changing the face of Rivers State, putting the infrastructure perfectly in
shape, bringing primary healthcare facilities to the doorsteps of the people,
showing more than passing interest in sports and taking tourism to sublime
state. It is not about sycophancy.
It is about saying
the obvious,” they said. Specifically, the leaders eulogized Amaechi for promoting
and entrenching democratic governance, executing projects which impacted on the
lives of the people, making great investment in education, providing leadership
to the Governors’ Forum and strengthening relationship between all sections of
the country. “Nyesom Wike cannot match Amaechi’s contributions in Nigeria,
particularly Rivers State.
Amaechi’s government recorded landmark achievements in
information dissemination, local government administration, women affairs,
housing and environment. “A governor who belittles his age by stooping to
tale-telling and spreading the seeds of discord in the state should not be seen
as a role model for the younger ones”
