Buhari and Tinubu, who led a team of
top APC officials to Port Harcourt for a rally, described Amaechi as an asset
to Rivers people and Nigeria.
They spoke before the governor
alleged that the desperation of the Peoples Democratic Party had made it to
hire the state Police Commissioner, Mr. Joseph Mbu, to lead its “military wing”
in the state.
Buhari had said the leadership
of the APC was in the state to seek the understanding and support of the people
through Amaechi.
He said the governor’s projects in
the state had increased his respect for him.
Buhari added, “Governor Amaechi is a
great asset to the people of the state and to the nation. We are at a crossroad
and whichever way you try to look at it, there is going to be a change in
Nigerian politics.
“If we remain divided, we may not
achieve the aim to save this country. We decided to come together to make sure
we savage this country from misgovernance and to save its material and human
resources.”
Tinubu warned that the country
would not progress in an atmosphere of intimidation, harassment and lies.
He dismissed insinuations that
Amaechi did not have followers in the state, saying, “We know he (Amaechi)
couldn’t have been elected without the support of his people and we are
educated enough to see the basis of his persecution.
“It (basis of persecution) is because
he (Amaechi) was fighting to protect the asset, revenue and resources of Rivers
State. We have heard so many propagandas like you have heard. I know Rotimi
Amaechi. I know that he is a progressive.
“I invite all of you to please ask
Governor Amaechi to lead you to the APC. I know if there is a referendum here
today (Tuesday), we will score 100 per cent.”
Amaechi had called on the
people of the state to be ready to confront the police.
He said the police would oppress the
masses and rig 2015 election if not resisted.
Amaechi told the gathering that
there could be no revolution without blood, maintaining that the people must be
courageous.
The governor said that the people of
the state would only be able to control their resources if they were ready for
the police.
He pointed out that the desperation
of the PDP had led it to hire Mbu as the military wing of the party.
The governor said, “They said
policemen don’t want us to go inside the airport. I came down and these young
boys and girls forced the gate open and we walked from that junction; five
kilometres into the airport.
“I trekked with you into the airport.
The reason I did that is that the police will come after you. The only way to
stop them is what I call the people’s power. It must not be one, two or three
persons.
“We must go now when we leave here
and begin to mobilise our people to prepare ourselves from now to the election
to confront the Nigerian police. When you hear impunity, impunity, it’s because
you allow it.
“If you sit in your houses and
you don’t take the risk, are you courageous? All of you must get ready.
“We will continue to march and make
sure we stop them. There is no revolution without blood. The only revolution
without blood is reform. That is what you must know. So to control our wealth,
let’s be ready for the police.
“We shall continue to be law abiding,
but henceforth, we will continue to resist the police. If we do not resist the
police, they will continue to oppress the people; they will do what they did in
Delta State, where they used gun to chase people and rig elections. What we
want is an election that people would like to vote.

ReplyDeleteAmechi is just a foolish man. You are telling innocent youths to be courageous to shed their blood to protect your loots. Are any of your children among those youths? Why don't you bring your children and then tell the youths that even your children are leading the vanguard. You impoverish you people and then turn around to ask them to laydown their lives for you. What an irony! I blame the naïve youths in Rivers State that will follow this thief that cannot account for N3trillion allocaton of Rivers people.
