Mbu is A Woman's Puppet; his Type can't Tame Me ––Amaechi

Trust Governor Rotimi Amaechi not to allow AIG Mbu Joseph get away with his rabble rousing in Abuja. The governor, who is the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, has said a thousand Mbus cannot in anyway tame him or the people of the state.

Amaechi described Mbu, a former Commissioner of Police in his state, as a woman's puppet.

The governor, who was responding to Mbu’s description of himself as a lion that succeeded in taming what he called the Leopard of Port Harcourt (veiled reference to the governor), explained that Mbu lacked the steel and strength of character of a lion.

Amaechi, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. David Iyofor, said: "A thousand Mbus can neither tame Governor Amaechi nor the people of Rivers State to surrender their constitutionally guaranteed democratic rights to anyone, no matter how highly placed. 

“Indeed, it is very sad, pathetic; however, ironic that Mbu called himself a lion. Which lion? This character called Mbu Joseph Mbu completely lacks the courage, steel and strength of character of a lion. Rather he is a shameless, corrupt puppet of a woman...

“This is a man paid by tax payers to protect, secure and serve the interests of the people. But when he was in Rivers State, he spurned the people; he trampled on the masses and rather elected to be the partisan servant of one woman, to be the woman’s tool in causing disaffection, confusion and crises in Rivers State.

“Mbu shamelessly and corruptly turned himself into the toothless attack dog of this woman to fight the government and people of Rivers State. How can a man who has no strength of character to be himself, be a man and stand up to a woman, a man who willingly submits himself to serve as the puppet of a woman calls himself a lion? How ironic! Mr. Mbu, no lion behaves like that.”

Amaechi maintained that Mbu epitomized everything that was wrong with the Nigerian police of today.

“All these, Mbu did because he was the puppet of one woman, a woman who clearly has no constitutional role to play in the governance of Rivers State or Nigeria. Mbu’s only claim to fame and prominence is because he has turned himself into a willing tool and servant of this woman. Mbu is a very bad example of a police officer,” he added.
