Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi has raised the alarm that President Goodluck Jonathan's ministers are undermining the welfare of Rivers people because of his disagreement with the Presidency. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, he said, has seized the World Bank and ADB loans that was approved by the National Assembly for Rivers State.

"The Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is using her position to undermine the safety and health of the people of Rivers State. I can't afford to give all Rivers people bottled water, but all I can assure you is to ensure the provision of potable water."
^But the Minister of Finance has refused to release it and I think I should put that before you (House Committee on Water Resources). They want Rivers people to die.^
Governor Amaechi has therefore called on members of the House of Reps to probe the Minister's 'wicked' action.
