AMAECHI WILL ANSWER FOR HIS RECKLESS STATEMENTS IN 8MONTHS- BIPI

A lawmaker from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Honourable Evans Bipi, has said that Governor Rotimi Amaechi will answer for all his reckless statements and actions in less than eight months’ time.
Bipi also sounded a threat to make the state ungovernable should Amaechi fail to desist from his belligerent posture against President Goodluck Jonathan and the first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan.
The lawmaker who is the factional Speaker of the state legislature and the coordinator of the PDP Caucus in the assembly, made this known while addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.

In his reaction to the series of verbal attacks by the governor against President Jonathan and his wife, Patience, Bipi said Amaechi had lost all sense of protocol and culture in his actions against the president.

AMAECHI’S EXIT, GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH –BIPI

The political turmoil in Rivers State took a new twist recently, when the state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, with his supporters moved from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), a development that caused hue and cry among concerned citizens across the country. In this interview, a member of state House of Assembly, Evans Bipi, speaks on the political situation in the state and other national issues. Excerpts:

What necessitated the defection of the state Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, to another party?

We all know that Governor Amaechi had been a mole in our midst before now; cross carpeting is good for democracy, especially if the opposition is constructive and has an alternative idea. Amaechi’s exit from the PDP had been long overdue; he had insulted elder statesmen of the party in Rivers, even at the national level, including his mentors who brought him to politics, believing that he would be given a plum job by the bunch of strange bedfellows whose only interest is to grab power at all costs for their stomach. Show me one progressive in their midst?  Show me one progressive in Nigeria? They are all crying foul because the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan is not only focused but also determined to change the destiny of Nigerians through various reconstructions in the economic spheres of our nation.
