Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, adjured Governor
Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State not to fear persecutions or antagonism of his
political traducers so long as he puts the interest of his people above every
other consideration.
Speaking
at a special banquet in his honour in Port‑Harcourt, the former president
nevertheless admonished Amaechi not to regard anyone as his political enemy as
he enjoined him to leave those who oppose him in the court of God.
Obasanjo
spoke following a narration by Governor Amaechi of his travails in the hands of
the Federal Government and some of its agents.

Obasanjo
nevertheless welcomed the development projects of the Amaechi administration at
the banquet attended by some of the leading personalities from within and
outside the state including former Supreme Court jurist, Justice Kabiri‑Whyte.
“You
should not worry about what people who don’t like you much as you would want
them to like you say about you, you should worry about your conscience and your
God and the people who voted for you.
“If
you can do what your conscience says is good and right for the people of Rivers
State, keep on doing it. But bear in mind that there is God who if you do not
satisfy Him has the final judgement.
“So
don’t worry about what those who cannot kill the soul, they can kill the body
if they like or those who will try and pull you down if you like, worry about
God, the people you were voted to serve and your conscience.
“Do
not say that you have enemies. I have no enemy and you should have no enemy,
but if they oppose you, leave them in the court of God once you know you are
doing the right thing.
“I
am here to see development, I am here to hear development, I am here to talk
development.”
