Rotimi Amaechi: Jonathan’s government is corrupt, Rivers governor says

Amaechi also stated that “there is no democracy yet in Nigeria” as the country is operating under diarchy which is the same as dictatorship: The Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of “supervising a highly corrupt government.” Amaechi also stated that “there is no democracy yet in Nigeria” as the country is operating under diarchy which is the same as dictatorship. Amaechi reportedly said this in Abuja on Saturday, November 22, while also addressing the police invasion of the National Assembly on November 20. The governor said: “We don’t have democracy in Nigeria yet. What we have is diarchy. We don’t have a democracy. Diarchy is dictatorship. The Federal Government has appropriated the police as its personal property. The FG has taken over the police.” "See the way the police took over the National Assembly. By law, the police have no power to invade the National Assembly and they have no power to stop the Speaker from going in or out of the National Assembly complex. But they don’t obey law,” Amaechi added. The governor also spoke on the issue of Boko Haram saying that the Federal Government was deliberately allowing the terrorists to run amok. “The Federal Government deliberately allowed the Boko Haram to overrun many villages in the North-East. If it is not a political agenda, why would the military not be able to chase away the rag-tag army of Boko Haram?” “They don’t want elections to hold in the zone so that there wouldn’t be election in the zone. If there is no election in the North-East, they believe that the APC would lose.” “If they are not afraid of the APC, let them restore law and order. The zone is in the hands of the APC. Borno, Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa and Yobe states are all APC states," the governor said. Amaechi had previously stated that Jonathan’s administration is like that of former dictator » , Sani Abacha.
