Wednesday.

Reno Omokri who is a former media aide to ex-president Goodluck
Jonathan, has taken the media war with Minister of Transport, Rotimi
Amaechi, to a whole new level on Wednesday, after the Reno claimed
Amaechi became a driver to President Muhammadu Buhari and Nasir El-Rufai
in 2015.
In a series of tweets that came with the hashtag
#LeaveAmaechiForLAWMA, Reno Omokri claimed that Amaechi was jobless in
the build up to the general elections and that government positions are
like “oxygen” to him, without which he cannot survive.
He also said that Amaechi was lean when he became Governor of
Rivers State in 2007, but left with a pot belly and an empty treasury.
Omokri, in an article titled, “Rotimi Amaechi: Leave Trash For LAWMA,” replied Amaechi’s letter which read, “Again Amaechi’s aide replies Reno: “You’re a zookeeper; answer my questions, don’t write about lions, monkeys,” saying Amaechi must “Leave Trash For LAWMA.”
Omokri who said that Amaechi’s duty post is the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, also said that he does not “react to trash which Amaechi is but instead, he leaves trash for LAWMA.”
Read the full article below:
Again, Nigeria’s Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has left
the issues raised by my response to his fallacious interview to impugn
my character in a vicious ad hominem attack on me. My response is as
follows:
Why should I respond to the trash that Rotimi Amaechi has thrown at
me? Out of the fullness of the heart a man speaks. He has trash within
him so he always vomits trash.
I do not react to trash. I leave trash to LAWMA. Rotimi Amaechi,
with his pot belly and ill fitting designer clothes, is trash. My dear
minister, here is the address of Lagos State Waste Management Authority,
LAWMA: No. 3 Iddo – Yard, Ijora Olopa, Lagos State. You can report for
duty there since it is your natural habitat!
Rather than trash, I will prefer to respond to issues. The issues
are very clear. Rotimi Amaechi falsely accused ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan of pilfering $49.8 billion in his interview.
I proved that he lied. I proved that the maker of that allegation,
the then Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Malam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi later withdrew it after he was faced with evidence of its
falsity.
I proved that in February of 2014, the then CBN Governor wrote
another letter to the Senate admitting that he did not know how much or
if anything was unaccounted for saying (and I quote from Sanusi’s
letter) it could be “$10.8 billion or $12 billion or $19 billion or $21
billion — we do not know at this point”.
I also proved that Rotimi Amaechi was being hypocritical when he
accused the former President of not saving because he was the one who,
as then Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum, insisted on September
21, 2012 that the saved funds in the Excess Crude Account be shared.
I proved that when former President Jonathan REFUSED to share the
funds, Rotimi Amaechi led the NGF to sue the then Federal Government at
the Supreme Court and got a judgment compelling the Jonathan
administration to share the money saved in the Excess Crude Account.
As a result of these actions, the Jonathan administration was
forced to pay the 36 states of the federation a total of N2.92 trillion
from the Excess Crude Account by 2014. Using the value of the Naira at
that time, that amount was just above $20 billion dollars. This was
money that was to be saved.
Again Rotimi Amaechi proves that he is as irrelevant as the P in
Psychology by spending his time making false allegations instead of
fulfilling the mandate giving him to improve Nigeria’s transport
infrastructure. Is he so jobless?
But I am not surprised. His masters already saw just how jobless he
is which is why during the 2015 campaigns he was reduced to a driver to
President Muhammadu Buhari and Malam Nasir Elrufai. How the people of
Rivers state suffered to the extent that their Governor became a
chauffeur.
You can take a donkey to the River but you cannot force it to drink
and you can make Amaechi a minister but you cannot force him to act
like a minister. His proper calling in life was perhaps to be a driver!
Rotimi Amaechi had no money to finish the mono rail in his state,
but he had $500,000 to spend on a one day dinner for Professor Wole
Soyinka by his own admission. Is that not proof that he likes food more
than knowledge and development?
When he became governor of Rivers state in 2007, the state treasury
was fat and his belly was lean, by the time he left in 2015, the state
treasury was lean and his belly was fat. In fact, Rotimi Amaechi’s belly
swapped destiny with his state’s treasury!
I have had a life before government. I worked at a bank, at
Parliament, as VP of a political consulting firm and now I run my own
profitable business. Does Rotimi Amaechi have a life outside government?
The only job that he has had outside government was a job as Peter
Odili’s PA at Pamo Clinics and Hospitals, Port Harcourt. Thereafter, he
rode on Odili’s coattails from one government post to the other. His
only political skill being to betray one political godfather as soon as
he finds a bigger one.
Government post is Rotimi Amaechi’s oxygen and this was what former
President Olusegun Obasanjo saw when he stopped him from becoming
Governor in 2007 because he knew that a man who cannot generate wealth
in his private business is condemned to forever be a sycophantic
political prostitute.
With the benefit of hindsight, we now see that President Obasanjo was right!
If Rotimi Amaechi wants to shut my mouth then I challenge him to go
to Rumukwurushi Market in Port Harcourt without security and shout Sai
Baba, Sai Amaechi. If he survives the encounter, I will forever leave
him and his potbelly alone.
