"President Goodluck Jonathan will win in 2015. If they do not allow him to win, they will not be able to handle the consequences," Asari threatened.
The PDP in Rivers State, working with anti-Amaechi agents, have already
declared that Amaechi is not the Chairman of Nigerian Governors' Forum.
They said Jonah Jang of Plateau State is the Chairman.
On his part Asari, in a phone-in radio programme in Port Harcourt on Saturday, said Amaechi’s political ambition did not tally with the ambition of the people of Niger Delta. As such, he said the governor would be
“treated like a traitor” for standing against Jonathan ahead of 2015.
In the words of Asari: “Amaechi and his commissioners can go back to slavery and continue to serve the northerners, who claim to be born to rule. We will never go back to slavery. We know the quality of those who are commissioners in Rivers State.
“Amaechi and his ambition must be tied to the ambition of his people. In Kano, Amaechi said he would run as vice-president, if invited. I speak with all sense of responsibility. The oppressed people of the Niger Delta, through President Jonathan, will win in 2015. We will win clearly and convincingly.
“Amaechi is a traitor and he will be treated like a traitor. Amaechi is not more Ikwerre than me. It is about liberty to rule. Amaechi wants to take us back to slavery. It will not be possible. The era of northern godfathers is gone.
