FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo has
said that he should be held responsible for the travails of the Rivers
State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, before and after the 2007
governorship election.
Obasanjo explained that rather than
blame Dr. Peter Odili, who was Amaechi’s predecessor, the state governor
should realise that he (Obasanjo) was fully in charge and responsible
for his (Amaechi) woes.
It will be recalled that Obasanjo
surprisingly denied Amaechi the PDP governorship ticket during the build
up to the 2007 general election in Rivers State, declaring the
Ikwerre-born politician’s case as having a K-leg.
K-leg is an euphemism used by Obasanjo in 2007 to describe the reason why he did not give Amaechi the governorship ticket.
