Mbu, who was recently promoted Assistant Inspector-General of Police, spoke while handing over to the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Commissioner of Police, Mr. Wilson Inalegwu, on Monday in Abuja.
However, Governor Amaechi, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. David Iyofor in Port Harcourt, described Mbu as a puppet, who lacks the steel and strength of a lion.
He said: “It is very sad, pathetic and ironic that Mbu called himself a lion. Which lion? This character called Joseph Mbu completely lacks the courage, steel and strength of a lion.
Rather he is a puppet.
“This is a man paid by taxpayers to protect, secure and serve the interests of the people, but, when he was in Rivers State, he spurned the people, trampled on the masses and rather elected to be the partisan servant of one person, in causing disaffection, confusion and crises in Rivers State.
“Mbu shamelessly and corruptly turned himself into a toothless attack dog to fight the government and people of Rivers State.
“How can a man who has no strength of character; a man who willingly submits himself to serve as a puppet call himself a lion? How ironic.
“Mr. Mbu, no lion behaves like that. You are a disgrace and shame to the Nigerian Police Force.”
Governor Amaechi insisted that Mbu epitomises everything that was wrong with the police in Nigeria.
He said Mbu not only disobeyed the Inspector General of Police during his time in Rivers State, but also clearly acted lawlessly, like a man who was above the law and in fact, turned himself into the law.”
He said Mbu can neither tame him nor the people of Rivers State to surrender their constitutionally-guaranteed democratic rights to anyone, no matter how highly placed.
Right on point!
ReplyDeleteAmechi on point
ReplyDeleteAmeachi, you are making noise because your tenure has come to an end. Big thief with cat eye
ReplyDeleteVery sense and idiotic comment just like the writer
DeleteDis Ameachi is a big he goat, and coward, wen mbu was in p.h you were only murmuring hiding like a chicken. U better shut up ..o. Meanwhile ur time don pass. Dat bros fold ur hands wella
DeleteAmaechi is correct. Mbu is a politician in uniform. what a disgrace to the independence of the Nigerian Police Force.
ReplyDeletehhahahahahahah@big theif with cat eyes. Amechi the talkative, woman wrapper.
ReplyDeleteAgain, why can't commentators be civil on these fora? This is an elected and incumbent governor you are all calling names and insulting as if you are in primary two together. What exactly has gone wrong with our society and culture?
ReplyDeleteJoseph Mbu is the exact thing Nigerian Police does not need in its midst. He is a disgrace and a pointer to the worst things that have ever happened to the Nigerian society. The issue is not the right or wrong of Amechi. I am not a politician. The issue is the place and role of law enforcement agents. Mbu was everything but an officer of the law in Rivers state. In this very case, I agree with Amechi. The Governor has his faults and excesses, but Mbu was just a case of the security guard assaulting the homeowner and then raping his wife and shouting 'victory!!!'. Instead of firing the stooge, he was promoted, that is why he suddenly became a "lion". Sad.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU AMAECHI FOR THAT. HOW CAN A BUTTERFLY CALL ITSELF A BIRD? AMAECHI YOU ARE REAL DON, IN POLITICS AND IN WORDS AND ACTION. WHO IS MBU TO CALL HIMSELF A LION JUST BECAUSE HE IS A PUPPET DANCING ON A STRING?. BIG SHAME ALL THE WAY. JAY-2, ABUJA.
ReplyDeleteYea yea.. Lets take sides. Every 1 is entitled to his /her opinion. I guess its d same mindset and hatred we have on d police force. Ameachi and Mbu had their issues, none of Dem could submit to the other, dis men are both arrogant And pompous. So forget sentiments, Mbu could not fall to his knees and b used like a puppet like ameachi said, dats just d truth.
