Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state has said he is not
bothered about the activities of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) or
that of President Goodluck Jonathan against him and the state.
Speaking during the presentation and launching of Education sector
plan in Port Harcourt, Amaechi said he has no reason to have sleepless
night because of PDP or Jonathan but he is rather concerned with how to
complete the projects his government had embarked upon including the
payment of salaries of civil servants in the state.
According to Amaechi, the Federal Government was trying to frustrate his government and that's why they reduced its allocation.
"I never thought that there would be a time when our revenue would
fall from N20 billion to N13 billion and for the past 6 months, that is
what we have been receiving. We are literally and virtually begging to
pay salaries," he said.
He however assured the teachers that their salaries would be paid
despite shortfall in the allocation while also calling on the people of
Rivers to find means of agitating for their rights before things become
more difficult.
