A group, the Forum of Niger
Delta Clan Chiefs and Elders, has said that former Rivers State Governor
and current Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi is responsible for a gang-up against ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan.
The
forum reached the conclusion during an emergency meeting in Warri,
Delta State on Tuesday, October 4, and its comments are contained in a
statement released to the media by spokesman, Chief Comewell Derioteidou.
The statement reads:
“Our
people will not fold our arms and watch the good name of Jonathan
destroyed by politicians. We have heard all sorts of amounts being
bandied in the media against Jonathan’s wife and wonder why Abacha’s
wife, YarAdua’s wife and the others who have universities in their name
are not being subjected to the same scrutiny.”
“Why
is Jonathan being picked on? What are they afraid of? Did he not leave
them with the power? It portents danger for everyone. Crisis in the
Niger Delta at this time of economic downturn is grave crisis for
Nigeria. It is high time the attacks are put to an end. Amaechi and his
buccaneers must know that they are not unknown to our people.”
