President Goodluck Jonathan has said that he is a transparent man because had it been that he has been allocating positions to his people, Governor Rotimi Amaechi will have been the first person to expose him to the world.
President Jonathan who spoke during the presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Rivers State said “The DG (Amaechi) is telling Nigerians that I have not done this. That means that I am a transparent person.
“I did not allocate positions to my people. The DG would have been the very first person to expose me to the rest of the world; not just Nigeria. He would have taken me to America, to South Africa, to France, to UK, but that shows clearly that we mean well for this country.
He also admitted to Ameachi’s criticism that he had done nothing for the people of Rivers state.
He said “What I want to tell you and the rest of the country is that the director-general of the APC presidential campaign organisation, when he was in Yenagoa and when he was in Port Harcourt, mentioned clearly that the President had done nothing for the two states.
“Don’t worry. It is good news because people are saying that I concentrated development in the South-South. Bayelsa State was part of Rivers State. Then, if I don’t concentrate development in this state, that means there has not been development in Rivers and Bayelsa states.
“In our development, every part of Nigeria must be carried along. You will agree with me that when we looked at the university education, and we insisted that look, the Federal Government must make sure that all Nigerian youths must have opportunity for university education.
“We did not divide North or South; we made sure that all the states that had no federal university got a federal university. I am not going to comment on development in Rivers State and Bayelsa states. I can reassure you that just work with us; vote for us on February 14, for me and Sambo and on February 28, for Wike and Ipalibo. Since we have been challenged that we have not done anything, we will do something.”
