The Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, said yesterday that comments made by Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi on the forthcoming general election is an evidence of the governor’s penchant for lawlessness and anarchy while pursuing power.
Okupe, in a statement made available yesterday, said that Amaechi’s statement at a rally organized by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that if the 2015 elections are “rigged”, his party will not seek redress in court but would rather carry out what he called “civil disobedience” as well as form a “parallel government”.
“This statement is clearly a further evidence of Amaechi’s penchant for lawlessness and anarchy in his unbridled pursuit for power. It is curious and unthinkable that a man who was himself a beneficiary of the court process would disdain the very platform through which he acquired the opportunity to make his reckless and provocative statement.”
