VIDEO:Governor Rotimi Amaechi Takes Fight With President Goodluck Jonathan To BBC

I can not exactly pin-point the bone of contention between Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State and President Goodluck Jonathan but the fight dates back 2010.

Although the fighting between Jonathan and Amaechi intensified over the past few months, the ground was being set up for it as far back as August 2010 when Amaechi played host to the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan at her Okrika hometown.

While showing her work that needed to be done around a primary school and the need for demolition, the First Lady jumped up, seized the microphone and berated him on insisting on demolitions in the area, considering how scarce land was and the accompanying emotions. The seeds of a conflict had already been sown.

It worsened when Rivers State and neighbouring Bayelsa State got in a boundary dispute late 2012, which would determine into which state certain oil wells fell. The arbiter, the Nigerian Boundary Commission adjusted the borders to the advantage of Bayelsa, which happens to be Jonathan’s home state, causing Amaechi to publicly accuse President Jonathan of being biased towards his home state.
