Jonathan, Amaechi Embrace in public

After the hullabaloo about Jonathan versus Amechi across the media, social networks and individuals,  President Goodluck Jonathan Governnor Rotimi Amaechi publicly embraced at the Port-Harcourt International Airport when Jonathan was returning from his home state of Bayelsa where he commissioned a hospital facility. Presidential Villa operatives had, on Wednesday, blocked Amaechi from getting to Jonathan  at the seat of power during a dinner, an action that was interpreted in many quarters as stemming from the crisis in the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).

But as  the Action Congress of Nigeria and Congress for Progressive Change berated Jonathan over  the incident, the Special Advi...

The governor had threatened to organise a protest over the rising insecurity in the state soon and promised to lead the demonstration. Amaechi said this while addressing the people of Orashi Kingdom, who paid him a solidarity visit over the political crisis in the state. “We have told our chiefs to get ready, once we get a date, once we get people from overseas, they are Nigerians, they will join us. We will give you the date. “I have told the CP to be ready to shoot me because I will be in front. I will not sit here and wait for you to march here and give me letter. Instead, I will keep the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, here and then I will march down with you people....
