has attributed the increasing level of insecurity in the Federal
Government.
He also said God, and not man, installed him as the state governor
because he fasted and prayed for 10 months before he became the
governor.
Amaechi said rather than chase criminals away from the state, the
police had decided to shoot innocent citizens.
The governor, who spoke at Saint Vincent De Paul Catholic Church in
Port Harcourt on Wednesday, said insecurity in the state was growing
because the police had failed to do their job in an unbiased manner.
Maintaining that his government was installed by Jesus Christ, Amaechi
urged the people to disregard those who claimed to be responsible for
his emergence as the governor of the state.
He said, "As a government led by me, a government installed by Christ,
if anybody tells you he installed me, tell him it is a lie. Tell him
that I said I prayed for 10 months and I fasted from 6am to 6pm,
calling on Christ to come down and Christ came down mightily and
installed me as governor.
"That is why you can see that in the face of human effontery, I have
been able to stand face to face with them and I say I have Christ in
me.
"You must rise in that same spirit of having Christ in you and
confront those who are confronting you. You must stand up for Christ
because the Bible says 'faith without work is dead.'
"We must not die. We must live and the way to live is to celebrate
Christ and the way to celebrate Christ is to confront Satan and Satan
is in different forms and shapes.
"If the police shoot at you, they are satanic. If government denies
you your right to live, that government is satanic," Amaechi added.
"All these you may want to attribute to political disagreement in
Rivers State; but it is not true. It is simply because of those who
lead us in Abuja; because the police is an establishment of the
Federal Government and they have refused to curb the excesses of the
police.
"Instead of the police to chase away criminals, they are shooting at
innocent citizens. Don't stop at praying. We knew we prayed, but as
you pray, you must rise on your feet and confront the challenges of
insecurity."
