Rivers State Governor Chibuike Amaechi says he will not succumb to blackmail, vowing to protect the resources of the state. He disclosed this to newsmen on Tuesday in Port Harcourt while reacting to insinuations that he was ‘’acting God’’.
Amaechi alleged that there were attempts by ‘’ few individuals’’ to get access to the wealth of the state. ‘’You know, I continue to say to the public the greatest problem we have in Rivers politics is the attempt by few individuals to get access to the wealth of the state.
‘’ They do not care, they have no conscience; they absolutely do not have the conscience. And, within the period that I am Governor, I will not allow people tear the resources of Rivers state.
“They are setting up themselves here and there now to grab the wealth of the state. And, I think, I owe the state a responsibility that within the period that I am Governor, whether they will blackmail me that I am God or not, whether they will blackmail me that I am Idi Amin or not, I will continue to protect the meager resources of this state.
“You people assume that we have resources, we do not have. I have sat down with you people before to say that we do not have money. If we had money, we would have turned this state into a mini London,’’ Amaechi said.
