President Jonathan
Worried by the massive turnout of citizens at a Port Harcourt mega-rally that brought over 40,000 residents of Port Harcourt together, President Goodluck Jonathan has warned Governor Rotimi Amaechi to stop what he called "political rascality and blackmail."
In a statement issued from Israel where the President and his supporters are currently on pilgrimage, President Jonathan accused Amaechi of sundry offenses including mismanagement and corruption.
Read Full text of President Jonathan’s statement after the cut:
Governor Rotimi Amaechi took his obnoxious willingness to denigrate the highest office in the land in a reckless bid to advance his selfish political interests to a new level of irresponsible and rascally behavior yesterday in Port Harcourt with his totally false and baseless vituperations against President Jonathan, the First Lady and the Federal Government.

It appears from the Governor's completely unfounded and off-the-mark allegations that he had totally lost all sense of propriety, decorum and responsible political behaviour and resorted to unacceptable demagoguery, libel, blackmail and incitement of public disorder.
Unless his unbridled ambition and desire for self- promotion have completely befuddled his mental faculties and caused him to totally lose touch with reality, Governor Amaechi must know that his claims and allegations are untrue.
We can only assume therefore that he is deliberately spewing malicious falsehood in a desperate effort to incite the people of Rivers State and Nigeria against his assumed political foes.
We warn him that there are legal, constitutional and moral limits to political rascality beyond which he will not be allowed to go without repercussions.
