‘Amaechi, Jonathan’s Relationship Intact’

The Rivers State Leader
ship Advancement Foundation (Rivleaf) has said that the relationship between Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and President Goodluck Jonathan is intact despite attempts to destroy it.
The National President of the foundation, Sir Alex Wele who said this at a Press briefing in Port Harcourt, said that Governor Amaechi and President Jonathan were two great sons of the South South that needed the sympathy of not only the zone but the entire country.
Sir Wele said that Rivleaf would continue to enlighten the people of the state on the need to keep faith with the two great sons of the Niger Delta.
He insisted that the foundation would continue to let Rivers People to know that, there is no problem between the  Governor and the President.
“Rivleaf will work with those in position of authority to propagate the ideals of good governance”,  he assured.
Meanwhile, the Rivleaf has postponed the proposed Good Governance Summit slated for tomorrow.
President of the Foundation, Alex Wele told journalists that the postponement was due to the forth-coming burial ceremonies of the mother of Mrs Patience Jonathan, wife of the President Goodluck Jonathan and that of the former Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Tonye Harry which comes up  first and second week of November 2013 respectively.
He said that there was no way the foundation could hold the summit with such high profile burials taking place in the state at the same time.
The Rivleaf president denied that the postponement had political undertone, pointing out that appropriate government agencies, including the police and State Security Service (SSS) had been informed of the proposed summit.
According to him, the proposed summit will be used to showcase the achievements of the state Governor, Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for public scrutiny.
