"Mono Rail? No Other State Can Do It Now, But Rivers State... To Thy People, Be True Governor Amaechi!" - President (fmr) Obasanjo

When asked on the Mono-rail project under construction in Rivers state, former president Olusegun Obasanjo commended Governor Rotimi Amaechi for the initiative, saying: “Anything that you are doing and there is no opposition, you should take a second look at it. The Ivory tower, which is a land mark monument for the French, when it was being built, some people said the man who built it should be killed. All good things must have some opposition... That is what I told the governor on Monday, that to thyself and to thy people be true. Do not mind what the opposition says because too many people may not know what it takes and how it takes, but when they come to know, they will say well done... I must confess my ignorance.I did not know there was something of that magnitude, but when I saw it, I knew that the only state that can do that now with the deficit of power that we have now is Rivers State because the state generates over 700 mega watts and it can dedicate 20 mega watts to that mono rail... There is no other state that can do that. So, that is my assessment.”
The former President who insisted  he is still a card carrying member of PDP insisted it was too early to endorse any candidate for 2015 Presidential election.
