This is what

It has been
brought to my attention the attack on my person by the Minister of Transport,
Rotimi Amaechi, after I exposed his lies with regards to the figure of $49.8
billion which he claimed former President Goodluck Jonathan pilfered from the
national treasury.
In my
response to that false allegation, I stated with facts, figures and dates that
not only did Mr. Amaechi lie, but that he is directly to blame for some of the
economic challenges facing the nation. Unable to dispute my facts, Amaechi has
resorted to insults and abuse on my person. My response is as follows:
I will
never, ever exchange insults with a lowlife. A lowlife with a ministerial
position is still a lowlife just as a decorated monkey is still a monkey. Other
than holding one government position or the other, Amaechi has never been
associated with any private success so he is very insecure when people
challenge his unenviable record in government with facts.
To borrow a
line from a hit song, I Reno Omokri, know who God says I am, where he says I am
at and what he says I will be. I do not need a government position to maintain
my relevance. I was somebody before I went into government, I am somebody after
leaving government and by the grace of God, I will forever remain somebody
without a government position, so nothing a pot bellied man can say or do to me
can ever alter what God has said about me.
I would
rather advise Rotimi Amaechi to respond to the issues I raised, namely that
there was no missing '$49.8 billion' and that on September 21, 2012, he called
on the Federal Government to share the funds in the Excess Crude Account, and
that it was he, Rotimi Amaechi, as Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum,
that led some state governors to take the Federal Government to court to compel
it to share the proceeds from the Excess Crude Account because then President
Jonathan insisted on saving the money, a case that they won and therefore it is
hypocritical of him to accuse former President Jonathan of not saving for the
rainy day.
I challenge
Rotimi Amaechi to separate himself from his government positions and see if he
can maintain his relevance. He borrows his relevance from government. He does
not add relevance to government. In two years as a minister, the only
'achievement' he can boast of is the Abuja-Kaduna railway that was built and
completed by the very same Goodluck Jonathan he likes to castigate.
President
Jonathan has been out of office for two years. I am no longer his aide, neither
am I on salary, yet I continue to be loyal to him. Can Amaechi say the same of
himself? Is he capable of being loyal to anybody or institution without having
something to gain? Is that not why his stomach is protruding and potbellied?
Because he is only loyal to his stomach! No wonder he admitted spending
$500,000 to host Professor Wole Soyinka to a one day dinner. Amaechi epitomizes
stomach infrastructure!
It is this
loyalty to stomach only that has placed Amaechi in the awkward position where
ALL the living ex-Governors of Rivers state are against him along with the
incumbent Governor, Nyesom Wike. A man who cannot command loyalty at home and
can't walk the streets of Port Harcourt without armed guards.
What Amaechi
does not understand is that there is life after government. Whenever President
Muhammadu Buhari retires from politics, he will be received with joy by Katsina
people. Whenever Bola Tinubu retires, he will be received with arms wide open
by Lagos people. But who will receive Amaechi when he retires? Certainly not
Rivers people who view him as a serial betrayer of their interests and the
interests of his zone. A man who can sell his own mother for a useless
government position cannot expect to retire in the motherland. Maybe Amaechi
will retire to Daura with Buhari as his domestic servant and in house sycophant
for life!
Has he
forgotten so soon how he was publicly disgraced by his colleague, the minister
of Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, when he was trying to sabotage the Maritime
University at Okerenkoko? While others are attracting development to their
zones, Amaechi is subtracting progress from his zone. Thank God for Kachikwu
who told him that "We are not going to throw away the baby with bath
water. We deal with the issues but the university will be developed. If he
(Amaechi) does not want it in Maritime, I will take it in petroleum"?
Even if
Rotimi Amaechi spends all day insulting me directly or through proxies, it
takes absolutely nothing from me. If insults could kill, Donald Trump would be
dead, but he is in the White House instead.
A lizard
with an overinflated ego is still a lizard, not an alligator. Rotimi Amaechi
may have left his village but his village never left him! That is why he
continues to display his inferiority complex by dressing in ill fitting
designer clothes bought at huge expense! Alas, he is trying to suppress the
memory of when he wore the same clothes for three days. But the man makes the
clothes, the clothes don't make the man. Poverty mentality is his undoing!
He calls
himself lion of Ubima. A lion with a pot belly and that can't win elections? If
he wants to see a real lion he should go to Bourdillon!
Finally,
rather than insult me, Rotimi Amaechi should seek medical attention for his
protruding pot belly. Doctors warn that a protruding belly, like his, is a symptom
of too much food and too little exercise.
Obviously,
Rotimi Amaechi should focus more on exercising his body and his brain.
Unfortunately, he seems to only exercise his mouth by eating too much and
talking too much which is why he is prone to frequent verbal and anal diarrhea.
