on governance in Nigeria since 1999. More

World Bank, Korean-American physician and
anthropologist Jim Yong Kim for his devotion to
the African Union's year of Women's
empowerment, where he is encouraging global
artists to raise awareness about poverty and
other related issues. What Kim wrote on his
Facebook page about D'banj above...
has said that Nigeria has no money
anywhere and that is why state governors
are finding it hard to pay salaries, the
outgoing governor also predicted that tough
times await the governor-elect, Chief
Nyesom Wike.
Ameachi made this statement during a
special thanksgiving service held by the
Greater Together Campaign Organisation
(GTCO), the campaign outfit of the Rivers
All Progressives Congress (APC)
governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside.
He said When I said sometime last year
that Nigeria’s finances was in a dire strait,
some people referred to me as an alarmist.
Since I made that statement in December
last year, the statutory allocation to the
state has continued to decline.
“Now, almost all the states are finding it
difficult to pay salaries. The state
government owes civil servants their April
salaries and pensioners’ four months’ salary
arrears because the state does not have
the money to pay them.
“Some people have chosen to make an
issue of the difficulty we are currently
experiencing in paying the salaries of civil
servants as well as the arrears of our
retirees. It is not our making.
“No government will deliberately refuse to
pay the salaries of its workers. We will pay
as soon as we receive our share of our
statutory monthly allocation from the
Federal Government.
“It is not easy to joggle the payment of
salaries and the implementation of capital
projects that are actually geared towards
developing the state, creating jobs and
improving the economy of the state
because more monies go into the society
when you award contracts and pay the
contractors on time so that they can also
pay their workers on time.”
Ameachi also alleged that a newly
promoted Commissioner of Police, Mr. John
Amadi, who served as Deputy
Commissioner of Police (DCP) in-charge of
Operations in the state, during the general
election made an attempt on his life.
He said “I will say to all of you that there is
a man called John Amadi, former Deputy
Commissioner of Police, who sat down and
ran a programme to embarrass the APC
and embarrass the incoming federal
government; even after Buhari had won the
presidency. Now, to embarrass us further, I
hear he has been promoted to a
Commissioner of Police and transferred out
of Port Harcourt. He will come back. John
Amadi will come back; you will see. The
only way he will not come back is if we
don’t form government, but if we form
government, he will account for his actions.
“After John Amadi, an Assistant
Commissioner of Police in Khana said it is
mutiny to take on the federal government,
and sat down and fought APC as if he was
a PDP member. I don’t know whether he
has been promoted or not, but if he has
been promoted, he will also come back.
That one does not require a judge. The
Inspector General of Police (IG) can
promote them as he wants; he can even
promote them up Assistant Inspector-
General of Police, but they must all
account for their actions.
“John Amadi intended to kill me and I will
tell you how. On my way to my village to
go and vote, I ran into some criminals
attacking an APC member and I stopped. I
stopped with the intention to rescue the
gentle man and arrest those people, as
governor. I did not know that they had
given instruction to my own security not to
obey me.
“So, when I told the policemen to arrest
them, they were just standing. On further
inquiries, I was told that we were told not
to go anywhere they were voting. When I
asked the C4I to reinforce security, John
Amadi called them back and asked them to
leave there. The only thing that saved me
and saved the situation was that the
Brigade Commander sent in soldiers.
“The soldiers sent the criminals away and
the people were speaking my language
saying, ‘somebody will die here now’ and
who was that somebody, other than me?
My SSS men were watching, my policemen
were watching and my life was at risk. I am
supposed to be the governor of Rivers
State; the so-called Chief Security Officer.”
Ameachi also described President-Elect,
Gen. Mohammadu Buhari as a man who
upholds the rule of law, he said “The
president-elect, General Muhammadu
Buhari, is a man of rule of law. He will not
punish anybody without following due
process. Let us ask the incoming federal
government to punish whoever contravened
the law.”
special thanksgiving and farewell service
organized by Aso Villa Chapel yesterday May
17th, President Jonathan asked for forgiveness
from those who might have felt offended by any
of the moves his government made, stating that
such moves were not intended to deliberately
hurt anyone. He said no human institution is
ever perfect. He urged everyone to pursue work
towards a better Nigeria even as they leave
government positions.
"No system is perfect. Every human
system must have an element of
imperfection. For the period of eight years
that we have been here. I will take the
period as a block because my transition
from VP to President was gradual and
complicated. It was intertwined so you
cannot actually draw the line. Because
when the President was challenged within
major health issues, I was running the
country for sometimes even before the
doctrine of necessity made me as acting
president. Then I took over at first and
conducting the 2011 election I won and I
had to run my full four years as an
elected president. So for the eight that
one has been there, definitely one is not
perfect. We have certainly done things
that probably we wouldn’t have done that
way, but we didn’t do things deliberately.
So for those who we have offended it
was not deliberate, it was circumstances
of the office. So we also plead that those
people should forgive, we think we have
done our best. You can do your best and
your friends may misunderstand you.
Today we are talking about leaving, it is
only God that knows why things go the
way they do.We came in as Vice President
and my wife, today we are leaving as the
former president and former First Lady.
We have achieved it through you. Let me
specifically thank the chaplain, the
clergymen, the pastors and their wives.
For the past eight years we have every
reason to be thankful to God. Every
individual has his/her own calling. I also
believe that people who take over political
leadership have their own callings to do
specific things. No one, head of a
government, be it at the national level or
the sub- regional levels can do every
thing. But when you leave, you will want
to do something to show that yes I was
here. The chaplain has said that nothing
is perfect, if you wait for perfection, you
cannot achieve anything. Ordinarily 24th
of May would haven been the last Service
here. But that 24th, we will all go to the
National Christian Centre for the
inauguration service. So for me and my
wife, this is our last day of worship here.
Though we are leaving as president and
First Lady, but we have not left you,
because we are still in this country, we
will continue to interact one way or the
other, probably along the line we may
even come closer. I believe some of you
may even come closer, and even do more
meaningful things together when we leave
office. I don’t really believe that it is only
in government that you can do thing, even
outside government you do a lot of
things. The richest people in the world
don’t even serve in government. Dangote
has never been in government, so you
don’t need to be in government to be
rich. Bill Gates has not been in
government. So outside government a lot
of things happen, it is for us to be
committed and continue to be focus. Me
and my wife really love all of you.”he said
