A press statement by the Middle Belt Dialogue Group... On Governor Amaechi and the orchestrated tension in Rivers State, we wish to align ourselves with the advice given to him by Yinka Odumakin, and echoed by the South South Peoples Assembly; We wish to remind him that those who ride on the tiger back end up in its belly. Those who are clapping for him now to weaken and or undermine President Jonathan love him only to the extent that he keeps undermining Jonathan. Not long from now they will give him the Gowon, Abiola and Jang treatment. Amaechi and his cohorts should remember how the Northern People?s Congress (NPC) used Akintola to weaken Awolowo?s support base in the early 1960s; The people of South South are not so unwise calculators that will prefer the number two position of Governor Adams Oshiomhole or Rotimi Amaechi to the number one? Come on! We wish to remind the South South citizens that the Northern agenda, as championed by these Governors, is to use a southerners to destroy a southerners and nothing more. These characters lauded as patriots are but cheap traitors running an unpopular script that is doomed to fail.
