Former Rivers State governor and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has labeled the state the capital of betrayal where those he helped politically have turned around to betray him.
Amaechi who made the allegations in an interview programme on Wednesday, said though most politicians in the state passed through him to get to where they are today, a lot of them have become traitors.

“Rivers State has become the capital of betrayals, just name one politician who didn’t pass through me.
“You will not see me in any political meeting planning for thugs, you will not see me say this money is for thugs; I will not.
“My Priest tells me that anybody who dies in the course of that money, you will be held accountable; the society may not hold you accountable or send you to prison but God will not allow you into heaven because he will hold you accountable. I don’t want to miss heaven.”
