*'Presidency Plotting To Impeach Gov. Amaechi' - Rivers People Forum*
**The Rivers Peoples Forum (RPF) alleged yesterday that there is a plot for minority lawmakers to impeach Rivers State Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi from office, adding that there are plans to put him on trial on 'phantom charges'.
In a statement by Charles Bekwele on behalf of the RPF, the socio-political group alleged that a "certain interest within the Presidency" is working to illegally and unconstitutionally remove Amaechi by giving him what is code named "the Alamieyeseigha treatment".
According to the RPF, "the plan is to thoroughly embarrass and disgrace Governor Amaechi, which they believe will serve as a warning and deterrent to other 'dissident' governors and dissenting politicians within the PDP who are perceived or considered to be opposed to President Goodluck Jonathan and his second term ambition."
The recent reported withdrawal of some of Amaechi's security detail is said to be part of the grand plot.
The group wondered "why Mr. President is ready and willing to settle and reconcile with six aggrieved northern governors in the 'new PDP', but has ruled out settlement and reconciliation with Amaechi, who is his brother from same Southsouth zone.
They are therefore drawing the attention of the public to this plot of the presidency and warning that any move remove Amaechi will be strongly resisted by the people of Rivers State.
"The plotters are hereby advised in their own good and for the good of the country to desist from such sinister plot. Rivers people elected Governor Amaechi and are indeed pleased with his performance and achievements. No one has the right to illegally boot him out of office because of petty political disagreements. Rivers people say no to impunity"
