The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe has described as treasonable, the statement credited to Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, calling on soldiers to rebel against military authorities.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, Okupe described governor Amaechi as an unrepentant socio-path whose main preoccupation is to desecrate constituted authority and create chaos and anarchy in the country.
Governor Amaechi is the Director General of Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation for 2015 presidential election.
Okupe posited that no responsible Nigerian or political organization for that matter should ever contemplate encouraging or supporting mutiny in the Nigerian Army under any circumstances whatsoever.
The statement reads further, “It is a pity that because of Amaechi’s huge financial commitment to the General Buhari campaign, the presidential candidate of the APC has compromised his personal integrity and enviable military antecedents to endorse such reckless statement issued on his behalf.
“Rotimi Amaechi is no doubt an unrepentant socio-path whose main preoccupation is to desecrate constituted authority and create chaos and anarchy in the country.
“Very recently, for an election that is yet to be conducted, he announced shamelessly that his party will form a parallel government if it loses in 2015.
“Nigerians must clearly see the unsuitability of the major personalities that hold sway in the APC for leadership in the country”.
