The governor of the Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi answered to a statement from the Presidency which accused him of irresponsible “political rascality”.
He says President Goodluck Jonathan has no right to threaten him.
Responding to the comments, the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Ibim Semenitari said Governor Amaechi is an elected official and Jonathan isn’t his prefect.

She also blamed Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati for failing to get his facts correct before issuing the statement despite his wealth of experience.
Semenitari alarmed Abati to know “his limits and need not attempt to cross his boundaries.”
She added that Amaechi never mentioned the name of neither the President nor his wife, Patience, during his speech at the APC rally, and questioned where the presidency got its information from.
“I would want to say that the Presidential Spokesman should be careful for the kind of threats he issues to an elected Governor,” she said.
“He should remember that the President is not a prefect of the governor. He was elected as President just as the Governor was elected as a governor, and Nigeria is a federation.
“It is a bit strange to hear the kind of comments coming out of the Presidency and this showed that that statement was already prepared before governor Amaechi spoke.
Semenitari continued, “At no point in his speech did Governor Amaechi make any references. His wife was not even discussed because she is not an official of government.
“I do not understand where or how Mr. Abati got his story, so we just take it that this is one of those clear indications of rascality with the Presidency trying to call a dog a bad name and hang it”.
