Former Minister of Transportation and ex-governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has labeled Rivers State as the "capital of betrayals."
He stated, “Name one politician in Port Harcourt who didn’t come through me; they can’t endure hardship.â€
Amaechi continued, “Rivers State has become the capital of betrayals; just name one politician who didn’t pass through me.â€
He emphasized, “You won’t find me in any political meetings planning for thugs, nor will you hear me say this money is for thugs; I refuse to do that.â€
He added, “My Priest advises that anyone who dies because of that money will be held accountable; society may not punish you, but God won’t allow you into heaven because you will be answerable. I don’t want to miss heaven.
