The cold war between the Minister of Ministry of Niger Delta
Affairs, Godsday Orubebe and Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi deepened
yesterday ,as the Minister described Port Harcourt as a slum with abandoned
projects.
Orubebe regretted that Governor Amaechi was suggesting that
governments of the South South states wanted to take over the construction of
the East-West road to speed up the project.
The Minister spoke at Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, with selected
journalists shortly after an inspection of the East-West road, frowned at the
disrespectful behavior of the Amaechi to the person and office of President
Goodluck Jonathan.
According to Orubebe, the alleged disrespectful behavior of the
Rivers State Governor would no longer be tolerated and advised him to mind he
business of governing his state which state capital had worsen in terms of
development since he assumed duty. “He (Amaechi) was saying that the Governors
of the Niger Delta want to take over the East-West Road.
The resources of Rivers State are so enormous, but I can tell
you that there are so many villages in Rivers state that have not been
connected by road.”
