Rivers State governor,
Rotimi Amaechi has had a rough couple of weeks. It started with the
murderous villagers in the Aluu community and their wickedness in
cutting short the life of four University of Port Harcourt students in a
brutal fashion.
Then the floods arrived,
displacing tens of thousands of Rivers State residents, depriving them
of basic human necessities like food, shelter or clothing.
All
these series of tragic events put Governor Amaechi in a state of
depression. As the leader of his state and his people, he was saddened
by the dark events and needed something to cheer himself up. What better
than a $50 million private jet? The Governor, according to
Saharareporters, recently took delivery of a brand new Bombardier Global
5000 (N565RS).
People may say Amaechi doesn’t care about his
people with such a gesture, in the same way American ip-hop star said
George Bush doesn’t care about black people after the Hurricane Katrina
disaster, but Amaechi does care.
Rumor has it that every time
Emperor Amaechi boards one of his private jets, he thinks about the poor
and illiterate people of the Aluu community, or the 12 souls that
perished in the floods in just one local government community, Ahoda. He
sees himself soaring above them like Superman without supersonic
hearing unfortunately, or he would swoop down on them to rescue them
from impending disaster now past.
Amaechi likes to fly in style
People
grieve in different ways, when a fat girl is dumped by her boyfriend or
upset for some other reason, she will eat ice cream to console herself.
Never mind the fact that the ice cream is adversely affecting her body
mass index and weight adversely. We must remember she got fat for a
reason, she likes the taste of sweet things.
So how can we expect
less of the Emperor? He is after all a human being, and after banning
okada in his state earlier this year, he has to ensure that he has a
more convenient alternative.
Amaechi likes his jets and if Jay Z,
Ifeanyi Uba or David Oyedepo can have one, then by God and by Federal
Allocation sharing, he must have one too. Rivers State has enough money
to have several private jets. The people of Port Harcourt understand
that their governor must fly in style and in private, whilst they worry
about jobs, food and minimum wage because that is not really in his
purview as their leader.
