Rotimi Amaechi has blasted APC candidates who lost the re-run elections
yesterday saying “hunger will kill you (people)”. This was in reply to
the stinker given to him and credited to his former Chief of Staff and aspirant to the Obio/Akpor Constitency seat for the Federal House of Reps, Tony Okocha.
Speaking at the Port Harcourt International Airport on his way back to Abuja, Amaechi said “its unfortunate that people who are contesting election are waiting for me to give them money before they can campaign. How can people be so wicked to themselves” he asked.
When a reporter read to him what Mr Tony Okocha said, including saying that he Amaechi talks too much and was responsible for their collective loss during yesterday’s polls, Amaechi replied “I doubt Tony said that, but if he did,, tell him that for waiting on my money, hunger will kill him too; You know I dont hide my feelings, thats why Rivers people love me”.
Also when queried for his response to the anger of APC members in the state who said “AmaechI’s Federal might is useless. We could have done better without the army that Amaechi brought” he laughed and replied “if you dont have something else to ask me, then you all should step back and stop following me”
At that point, his stern looking security details barred the press men and Amaechi walked to his waiting private jet marked JT56FTF .
It would be recalled that Mr Tony Okocha yesterday blasted Rotimi Amaechi accusing him of being responsible for their loss. He said: “We lost this election because Amaechi talks too much, Amaechi talks too much. l never liked his radio and
TV ranting because he was just talking before thinking. He exposed our plans and brought the eyes of the whole world on Rivers State through his needless media noise.”
He continued “Even the money we asked them to give us for the election, he said the money would be given to us after the election because, we used the money he gave us for 2015 election to buy cars. What nonsense!
He should have just released the money then remain in Abuja, instead of coming here to cause more problems for us.”
It would be recalled that the APC candidate at the Rivers state legislative rerun election for Obio Apkor Federal constituency at the House of Representatives, Mr. Tony Okocha reportedly blamed former governor and Minister of transportation Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi for the parties loss in the rerun elections. Mr. Okocha who was Chief of staff of government house while Amaechi was governor said this while speaking with friends and associates shortly after the results of the polls started coming in. .
He reportedly blamed Amaechi for ‘talking too much’ and ‘exposing their plans’.
In his words; “We lost this election because Amaechi talks too much, Amaechi talks too much, l never liked his radio and TV ranting because he was just talking before thinking. He exposed our plans and brought the eyes of the whole world on Rivers State through his needless media noise. Even the money we asked them to give us for the election, he said the money would be given to us after the election because, we used the money he gave us for 2015 election to buy cars. What nonsense!

He wrote: ”With the rise of the Boko Haram terrorist group of the past
few years, Nigeria faces a threat such as no other in its entire history
and existence. Desperate times require desperate, unusual, measures.”
Shehu cited the fact that that President Buhari accepted the offer of
assistance from G7 countries from the West at the commencement of his
administration, adding that religion was not a consideration then.
He wondered why religion is now an issue as the president decided to
embrace help in fighting terror from the Middle-East region.
”The safety of Nigerians and the total annihilation of Boko Haram is of
more important than the unfounded worries of Nigeria’s so-called
Islamisation.
”Our Commander-in-Chief has sought help where he believes our country
will benefit and the religious affiliation or ideology of our
benefactors should not be the paramount consideration.
”The fears that our country’s membership in this coalition will draw
Islamic State, ISIS’s attention to Nigeria are too late.
”As the president has repeatedly maintained, it is Boko Haram that
proclaimed allegiance to ISIS, thereby dragging us into the global
terrorism network,” part of the statement read.
