The Rivers State Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu, on Thursday described governor Rotimi Amaechi as a
tyrant and a dictator.
Mbu, who spoke with newsmen in Port
Harcourt, also dared anyone to embark on a protest in the state without seeking
police permission.
He maintained that the state governor
was unhappy with him because he (Mbu) refused to be subservient to him.
The police commissioner, who was
reacting to the alarm raised by the state governor on the rising crime wave in
Rivers State, explained that though he had always respected Amaechi, it was
necessary for the governor to reciprocate his (Mbu) gesture.
Amaechi had on Tuesday lamented the
increasing rate of kidnapping and armed robbery and expressed reservation over
Mbu’s commitment to tackle the situation.
But the commissioner of police
disagreed with the governor, insisting that contrary to Amaechi’s view,
security situation in the state had improved.
He said, “The office of the governor
is a respected office.
“Sometimes, silence is golden but
sometimes it is misconstrued. I have respect for Governor Amaechi but his
attacks on me are going beyond bounds.
“Our governor is very tyrannical, he
is a dictator. He wants everybody to say ‘yes sir’ to him and I said I will not
say so. I am a professional.
“The governor should please stop
playing politics with my name. I will tell the whole world why the governor is
against me in the next interview. I will also tell you the crime rate before I
came to Rivers and what the situation is now.”
On the claim by Amaechi that he (Mbu)
was always reporting the deliberations of the State Security Council meeting to
Abuja, Mbu explained that the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar,
had insisted that minutes of such meeting be sent to him.
Mbu said the state had never held any
formal security meeting, adding that letters were supposed to be sent to the
Nigerian Navy and other security outfits through the Special Adviser on
Security.
He said, “There has never been any
formal letter written to convene security meeting since I came.”

ReplyDeleteAmaechi is a gangster a rebel people should start seeing the man for what he is. Amaechi brought out the CP to the public domain. He is responding and saying it as it is. Amaechi is a rebel and noise maker he likes empty publicity and limelight. NGF so what an association a social club and peer group amaechi is a pawn being used by APC to destabilise PDP He has destroyed any little thing he has built with his constituency. He is a big fool
ReplyDeleteMr commission who can't say kyes sir' to elected governor should be withdrawn and redeployed to another state. He can't be more professional than an elected governor. Dame patience is using wike and commissioner of police to distabilise Rivers ahead of 2015 so they can impose their own candidate as governor so the looting can continue. Before we forget, Jonathan and his government have no development agenda. Remember their problem with Amechi started when he insisted East-West road should be built and the powers that be like Orubebe felt insulted. Amechi may appear to be a tyrant to some but to many like me, he is a perfect gentle man, and couragous one at that which is why even the opposition APC is rally around him with support despite he is note their memeber. We must stop this PDP arrange government and shameless federal government dominance and an emperor president. Nigerians suffer for extreme docility and love for status quo, which is why we allowed chance moved for by OJUKWU to fail because he dare to change an oppressive Unitary system when we were to run a regional based kind of government. We lost the war but we will fight again, and I pray no one will survive it this time
ReplyDeletePeople just open their mouths to talk carelessly,what is wrong with this so called pdp people self? Why so many attacks on Amaechi? He is a cool young man who has great ambition ahead,whatever distractions he faces,he is only becoming a hero day by day,so give dey young man a breathing space pls.

ReplyDeleteI am totally against the Yes Sir syndome that is killing profesionalism in Nigeria today.
This fool commissioner should leave the state. He is blackmailer , I know He has back up but He'll regret it. I am not a nigerian but Amaechi has proven to be very strong and straight forward. His. People love him. Let this man who is speaking on behalf of PDP leave your state, please write for his transfer. He can even arrange coup.
