A member of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Evans Bippi has called on the kinsmen of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State to caution the governor over his constant attack on President Goodluck Jonathan and the First Lady or they make the state ungovernable for him.
Bippi, the leader of the six anti-Amaechi lawmakers in state made the call yesterday while speaking with journalists in Port Harcourt.
Bipi emphasized the need for the governor’s kinsmen to call him to order for him to conclude the remaining months of his tenure in peace.
He described Amaechi’s constant denigration of the president and his wife as an abuse of the Governor’s immunity.
Bipi said, “We appeal to chiefs and leaders of Ubima community, Amaechi’s native home to ask their son to desist from attacking the President and his wife if he wants to peacefully conclude the remaining months of his tenure.
“Let me warn that we will make the state ungovernable for him (Amaechi), not minding his immunity, if he does not refrain from this irresponsible action against the President and his wife.
“It is regrettable that Rotimi Amaechi has consistently insulted and disparaged a sitting President and his wife with impunity in abuse of his immunity as a governor. May I also warn Amaechi to also stop using the platform and resources of Rivers State for his personal interest”.
He accused Ameachi of using N19 billion belonging to the state to organise ‘an extravagant’ rally for the All Progressives Congress.
Bipi said, “We feel pained that we are constrained to take necessary action against him (governor) because of the immunity, which he enjoys. However, we are encouraged by the fact that his arrogant reign as the governor of Rivers State will soon come to an end.
“In less than eight months from now, Amaechi will be made to answer for all his actions against President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife Dame Patience Jonathan”.
He challenged the governor to prove to the world where Mrs. Jonathan allegedly sent militants to stage protest against him for refusing to share Rivers money with her.
