RIVERS State Governor and Chairman of the
Nigerian GovernorsForum has attributed
the increasing level of insecurity in the
Federal Government.
He also said God, and not man, installed him
as the state governor because he fasted and
prayed for 10 months before he became the
governor.
Amaechi said rather than chase criminals
away from the state, the police had decided
to shoot innocent citizens.
The governor, who spoke at Saint Vincent De
Paul Catholic Church in Port Harcourt on
Wednesday, said insecurity in the state was
growing because the police had failed to do
their job in an unbiased manner.
Maintaining that his government was
installed by Jesus Christ, Amaechi urged the
people to disregard those who claimed to be
responsible for his emergence as the
governor of the state.
He said, "As a government led by me, a
government installed by Christ, if anybody
tells you he installed me, tell him it is a lie.
Tell him that I said I prayed for 10 months
and I fasted from 6am to 6pm, calling on
Christ to come down and Christ came down
mightily and installed me as governor.
"That is why you can see that in the face of
human effontery, I have been able to stand
face to face with them and I say I have Christ
in me.
"You must rise in that same spirit of having
Christ in you and confront those who are
confronting you. You must stand up for
Christ because the Bible says 'faith without
work is dead.'
"We must not die. We must live and the way
to live is to celebrate Christ and the way to
celebrate Christ is to confront Satan and
Satan is in different forms and shapes.
"If the police shoot at you, they are satanic.
If government denies you your right to live,
that government is satanic," Amaechi added.
"All these you may want to attribute to
political disagreement in Rivers State; but it
is not true. It is simply because of those who
lead us in Abuja; because the police is an
establishment of the Federal Government
and they have refused to curb the excesses of
the police.
"Instead of the police to chase away
criminals, they are shooting at innocent
citizens. Don't stop at praying. We knew we
prayed, but as you pray, you must rise on
your feet and confront the challenges of
insecurity."

The same way I fasted and prayed for a year in my mother's womb, so that I got the name I'm bearing now.

I dey laff grin I swear I laffed after seeing the thread. Does his Christianity show in the manner he was alleged to have mistreated an LG chairman in his state. Or in his implication of theft, with his careless statement seemingly exempting thriving statesmen from blame because the public didn't stone them. A beg make e carry go. D guy to dey talk.

When people tell open lies against God, it pains me that God spares them. This is a situation where I will prefer the God of Israel who is a no nonsense God.

Any way, Amaechi has said his own but We are all witnesses to how he has been looting his state treasury. However, I have observed that Ameachi has developed some honesty these days in running the financial affairs of Rivers State for fear of GEJ. grin Who says crisis has no benefit? At least Amaechi is forced to keep his hands clean to avoid falling into GEJ's trap. grin grin
