Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode in a press conference today in Umuahia , Abia State has called on the Federal Government to sue Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi for treason. While recalling what the Governor said in his recent media remarks where he allegedly said the opposition would form a parallel government if President Jonathan wins the 2015 presidential election amounts to treason.
“When you look at the comments made by my old friend, Gov. Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State, I am alarmed, I am deeply disturbed and discouraged. He said that if PDP comes back in 2015 that not only would they make the country ungovernable, they would also set up a parallel government, and that there would be anarchy in this country.”
The former Minister also described what happen yesterday at the National Assembly as shameful and as what he thinks will never happen in countries like the US and United Kingdom. Fani also commended thepolice for their patience and tolerance saying they did a very good job yesterday.
“For the first time in the history of our country I saw elected legislators attempting to break down wall, attempting to break down gates. I saw them scaling the gate. I saw some of them in torn clothes, struggling through the police lines, I saw them breaking the law, and I saw them display the highest level of indiscipline and lack of respect for constituted authority.
“Some public figures may shy away from speaking the truth but I will not, no matter whoever is involved.”
“Legislators took the law into their own hands. Broke down gates, jumped through the gates, fought the police and created commotion and shameful acts.
“If this were to be in any other country particularly America or Uk that for whatever reasons a line was drawn by the police and security agencies, and individuals no matter how high or how much respected or loved chose to defy them and cross the lines, injured some policemen ( because the IG told me on phone this morning that some police men were injured), and they defied the police , went through the tear gas, and ignored the warnings , the police would have been forced to use a very high degree of force, he said.
