Beg Jonathan So I Won't Be Killed, They Want To Take Me Out ––Amaechi Reveals

For daring to go against President Goodluck Jonathan on principle, we observed that governor Rotimi Amaechi has come under all forms of attack and maligning from people working in the Presidency and, most unfortunately, the police that should be neutral at all times.

Consequently, Governor Amaechi has revealed that their is a plot to "take him out" since he is now seen as an enemy of President Jonathan and not a political leader with his own right and privileges. He has also sent out a strong message to Jonathan to ensure nothing happens to him.

Speaking in an interview with Sahara TV, Amaechi also narrated his ordeal in hands of the Nigeria police and other agencies under the control of the Presidency.

“I don’t have an aide de camp. I don’t have a chief security officer. They’ve withdrawn so many policemen. They’ve withdrawn all policemen from the commissioners. I feel unsafe. I just know that they want to kill me. Beg Mr. President to ensure that I’m not killed because I’m sure they are planning towards that.”

Amaechi also accused his political forces, including Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, and the President’s wife, Patience Jonathan, of using the police to intimidate the people of the state.

“It is not just Wike that is controlling Mbu [state Police Commissioner]. It is not just Mrs. Patience Jonathan that is controlling Mbu. There are some people on the street controlling him.

“They are doing two things under the watch of Mr. President and the Inspector-General of Police. They are trying to intimidate the Rivers society so that they can rig elections. And they are trying to intimidate me and expose me to danger.”

Amaechi described the level of impunity under Jonathan as worse than what Nigeria experienced under late General Sani Abacha. He said there would have been peace in Nigeria had the President not interfered in the Nigerian Governors Forum’s election, where he emerged winner.

He said Jonathan confessed during one of their meetings in Aso Rock.
“While Akpabio was denying it, I reminded him that the President confirmed to me that he participated.Jonathan said he canvassed support for Governor Shema and that he called governors and showed them a video recording of my speech on the oil well that was taken from Soku [in Rivers State] to Balyesa, and he therefore told them that if I won, he would never work with me,” Amaechi revealed.
