While playing guest at a TV programme – Focus
Nigeria – which aired this morning on Africa
Independent Television (AIT) Governor of Rivers
state Rotimi Amaechi compared the present
Goodluck administration of government to that of
Military dictator, Abacha.
According to Rivers state Governor, there is no
difference between the two administrations.
Hear him “When you look at the President and
you say he is a gentle man, you should also look
at somebody in terms of performance. But even
those who say he is a good man, what about the
fact that you can compare his government to
Abacha’s government. What is the difference?
TAN singing everywhere one million man match,
can you compare the two?”
TAN, they are getting how many signatures? 17
million? They got 17million Nigerians to sign to
vote. That’s how they voted for governors forum.
They say everybody sign for governor’s forum.
Sign to vote. Now if you compare this, compare
again the use of the military under Abacha and
how the President is using the military against
citizens. Can you see the two? I say to people, if I
were to be an adviser to the President, I would
say watch, …History, History and you should be
careful” he said.
He further claimed that there is no morality in
governance and that good men can only be found
in churches.
“I respect the president as a person. He is a
gentle man, he is a good man but there is no
morality in governance. There is no goodness in
governance. If you want to be moral or want to
be a good man, go to church. Right there when it
comes to governance, its about the people. It is
about delivering to the people. It is about
competence. It is about your ability to perform.”
