I fell out with Patience Jonathan because Irefused to share Rivers money with her" -Amaechi

Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi says
the major reason he and the first lady, Dame
Patience Jonathan fell out was because he
refused to share the state money with her. Gov
Amaechi said this yesterday October 24th at
the graduation ceremony of the Pioneer
graduands of the Ignatus Ajuru University of
Education held at Rumuolumeni in Rivers
state. He said
"Remember, when I became governor, I fought
militancy. Right there where you built a new
house used to be a hole where they pass into
the river nd escape. The security report
reached me and I came here and chased the
militants away. I asked them to fence the
school premises and block the hole. I have to
protect you because it is my responsibility.
Some of the militants went to Lagos, Ivory
Coast, Ghana etc. Today, they are back
because the wife of the President bought
them back to protest against me." Continue...
I refused to give them money in Abuja
because if I do that, I won't be able to carry
out any developmental projects or finish the
road from Rumuolumeni to Rumuepirikom.
The quarel between me and the wife of the
Preseident is because she said I should bring
your money, Rivers peoples money and share
with her" Governor Amaechi alleges
Governor Amaechi is also quoted to have told
the graduands that should they vote for
President Jonathan back into power in next
year's general elections, rivers state's
economy would crumble
"Now that you are graduates, you are eligible
voters that can use your voters card to
change society. Ask yourself this question
that I have always asked Rivers people. What
have we (Rivers people) done to President
Jonathan that he has refused to bring any
project to Rivers state. We had to fight them
before they could do the East-West road. I
had to abuse the federal government and
they abused me back before they could do
the work you now see on that road. Our
President, from the South-South, has taken
oil wells from Soku in Rivers state to Bayelsa
state. What about the 41 oil wells in Etche
that was given to Abia state? Is the President
or his wife from Abia? Why do they want us
to suffer? If President Jonathan comes back
to power in 2015, Rivers state economy will
crash" he said
