Decorum went to the winds during a reconciliation meeting between
President Goodluck Jonathan, his allies and the G7 opposition governors.
Governors Amaechi and Akpabio reportedly got into a shouting match
accusing each other of corruption and declaring who had the most to fear
from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
According to sources with knowledge of the meeting, Amaechi began the tirade by accusing Akpabio.
He had said, “You’re a terribly corrupt man.”
To which Akpabio responded, “What did I steal, how am I corrupt? You’re the one that is corrupt.”
The argument took a turn for the worse when Akpabio alleged that his
daughter who attends former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s American
University was being “bullied”.
In response to the allegation, Amaechi said “They are bullying your
daughter because the money you went there to donate was not yours, it
was stolen money.”
After being threatened with the EFCC by Akpabio, Amaechi further
responded that he was not afraid of the EFCC and if he happened to see
EFCC officials in Rivers, he would direct them to Uyo where the treasury
is being looted on a daily basis.
