The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately order a probe into the published report that Rivers State governor 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 in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the President should ensure that whoever was behind such a condescending treatment of a state governor should be properly sanctioned to serve as a deterrence.
.
The statement said: "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.
