Gov. Amaechi reacts to presidential statement, comes for Reuben Abati

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state has reacted to yesterday's
statement from the presidency where he was advised to stop political
rascality and blackmail. Speaking through the state's Commissioner for
Information, Ibim Semenitari, Governor Amaechi said there was never a
time he discussed First lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. He also
described Presidential Spokesman, Reuben Abati as the rascality within
the Presidency

"I would want to say that the Presidential Spokesman should be careful
for the kind of threats he issues to an elected Governor.
He should remember that the President is not a prefect of the
governor. He was elected as President just as the Governor was elected
as a governor, and Nigeria is a federation. And please, Abati should
know his limits and need not attempt to cross his boundaries.

"It is a bit strange to hear the kind of comments coming out of the
Presidency and this shows that the statement was already prepared
before governor Amaechi spoke. At no point in his speech did Governor
Amaechi make any references. His wife was not even discussed because
she is not an official of government. I do not understand where or how
Mr. Abati got his story, so we just take it that this is one of those
clear indications of rascality within the Presidency trying to call a
dog a bad name and hang it".
