Speaking at a press briefing on Saturday, Mr Secondus incriminated Amaechi of shutting down the courts and taking total control of the State House of Assembly, even as the people of the state resisted those actions.
“The crisis in Rivers State is Amaechi. You journalists should go and investigate,” Mr Secondus said. “He shut down the courts, he shut down the state assembly and he is now the sole administrator and maximum leader and the people are resisting.
“Salaries aren’t paid as at when due, the state fund being taken away to sponsor the Presidential Candidate of the APC, General Muhhamadu Buhari. Our jet now is owned by Buhari. Where in this world is it done that people are happy?
“So, all the news of crisis are being generated by Amaechi because he has lost the state and he sustains himself on the pages of newspapers. So, Amaechi is the problem.
“Take for instance the national assembly here if they have disagreement, and the President moves from Villa to the National Assembly and be a partaker in what is going on there.
“But the governor of Rivers State who is the architect of the crisis moved from government house to House of Assembly and took sides. You people should do your investigation and report accurately. Tell him to stop.
“The Okrika matter that you talked about, it is APC versus APC, but Amaechi is orchestrating it as if it is PDP and he is even bringing the name of the wife of the President.
“Governor Amaechi has insulted the intelligence of the Rivers people. He is now permanently based in Lagos, in fact, the government of Rivers state has collapsed because Amaechi is no longer governing.”
On February 17, hoodlums suspected to be members of the PDP disrupted the governorship rally organised by the APC.
