Governor Rotimi Amaechi has raised the alarm that President Goodluck
Jonathan's ministers are undermining the welfare of Rivers people
because of his disagreement with the Presidency. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, he
said, has seized the World Bank and ADB loans that was approved by the
National Assembly for Rivers State.
“The Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is using her position to
undermine the safety and health of the people of Rivers State. I can’t
afford to give all Rivers people bottled water, but all I can assure you
is to ensure the provision of potable water.
“But the Minister of Finance has refused to release it and I think I
should put that before you (House Committee on Water Resources). They want Rivers people to die.”
