Ex-Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and now Minister of Transport has taken former President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria to the cleaners.

“I could not surrender my mandate to a woman (Patience) in Abuja, even if such a person was the wife of the President… that basically was my sin with Dame Patience Jonathan. If in one year, you took about N300bn from the federation account to pay for subsidy and the next year, you are taking almost N2tn for the same thing when fundamentals had not changed, then serious questions should be asked. And as NGF (Nigerian Governors Forum) chairman, it was my responsibility to ask those questions and Jonathan took them personal.”

The ex-governor disclosed this in a book titled, ‘Against the Run of Play,’ written by the Chairman, Editorial Board of ThisDay Newspaper, Olusegun Adeniyi.
