GOV AMAECHI: 5 The difference basically is because my first term, you saw me on the streets jumping, shouting and running. I was pursuing criminals to secure the city. Now the city appears to be secured and I am no longer 42. I cannot jump any longer because one day I may fall. In my second term, I’ve improved power supply. I want the federal government to let the public know that the power they are enjoying here comes from the Rivers State government and they don’t pay us any money. We buy gas every month to supply the power and the federal government reduced the revenue for the past seven years I have been governor. So, what are the critics saying? Do you know what I call those critics? They are stomach infrastructure critics. When I tell people I don’t have a house, they tell me to stop saying that, that it is I who don’t want a house. That is what my critics say. They are not afraid, they have houses everywhere; they are not scared of the consequences because there is no anti- corruption policy. Nobody is pursuing anybody. The impunity with which the stealing is going on, small ministers are living in mansions they just built. From being ordinary chairmen of councils they now live in mansions. Nobody is asking. Most things government need to realise is that when you deny people the necessary infrastructure that will keep them alive, when they die you should be charged for manslaughter. If you are suppose to build the hospital that will keep people alive because they have handed their resources you to build the hospital and you divert the resources into your pocket, when they die, and no one charges you of manslaughter, when God comes, He will charge you for manslaughter.
