Mbu Is A Puppet ,Lame Lion...Amaechi

Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed comments by the former Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, Joseph Mbu, who, while apparently referring to Governor Amaechi, described himself as a lion, who tamed the governor in Port Harcourt.

Mbu, who was recently promoted Assistant Inspector-General of Police, had while handling over to the FCT Commissioner of Police, Wilson Inalegwu, on Monday, in Abuja, called himself “a lion who tamed leopard.”

However, Governor Amaechi scoffed at Mbu’s claims to be a lion.

In a statement by his spokesman, David Iyofor, in Port Harcourt, on Tuesday, the governor described Mbu as a puppet, who completely lacks the steel and strength of character of a lion.

The statement reads: “indeed, its very sad, pathetic, however, ironic that Mbu called himself a lion. Which lion? This character call Joseph Mbu, completely lacks the courage and strength of character of a lion. This is a man paid by taxpayers to protect, secure and serve the interest of the people. But when he was in Rivers State, he spurned the people, he trampled on the masses and rather elected to be partisan.

Governor Amaechi maintained that Mbu epitomizes everything that is wrong with the police in Nigeria. He said Mbu not only disobeyed the Inspector General of Police, during his time in Rivers State but also clearly acted lawlessly, like a man, who is above the law and in fact, turned himself into the law.
