ACN Protests Amaechi's Ill-Trearment at Presidential Dinner

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to order an inquiry into a report alleging that Rivers State Governor, Mr. Chibuike Amaechi was barred from paying his respects to the President at a dinner in the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.

In a statement issued on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the President should ensure that whoever is behind such a condescending treatment of a State Governor is properly sanctioned to serve as a deterrent.

"'We are making this call because we do not believe that, in spite of the reported frosty relations between the two, President Jonathan - as the father of the nation - will lend the weight of his high office to such a demeaning action as exhibited by the presidential security personnel", he said.
