mikeansy: Amaechi is not Timipre Silva

Suspension of State Lesgislators from PDP is a classical example of shooting yourself in the foot.

What if Amaechi move his flock to the opposition party?

*smh*

texaco1:

mikeansy:

ever heard the saying that a general is as good as how loyal he is able to keep his lieutenants?

GEJ will regret all this James Bond moves. I cant say it enoough. Amaechi is not Timipre Silva

There is not special about Nigerian politics, it is like every other corrupt political space.

coputa: Gej was not the first to fight disloyal party members/governors.......OBJ did it,he fought virtualy everybody that stood on his way,real or imagined...Amaechi should ask Timipre silva,the ousted governor of Bayelsa state , on hnw he was defeatd and disgraced out of power...

wirinet: The arguments from GEJ supoorters is as stupid as it is senseless. Although I have never referred to president Jonathan as clueless and retarded, I think his supporters and advisers make him look so. In a bid to outdo each other to please him they are destroying the man.

As i said some arguments i find here that sound retarded especially by the GEJ supporters club led by billyonaire are that, because the aircraft is in trusteeship of the Bank of Utah, it therefor belongs to the bank of utah. They need to go back to grammar school to learn what the word trustee means. If they alleged that the trusteeship was held on behalf of Governor Amechi instead of the Rivers State Government, then they would have an argument.

Then they opined that loosing party membership is tantamount to loosing the position of the chairman of the Governor's forum. what retarded logic. It is called the Governor' Forum and not PDP Governor's Forum, so membership is no based on being a member of PDP. Amechi can only lose his position of the chairman of the governor's forum after the next election.

Let me state categorically that GEJ cannot win tge battle against Amechi. Amechi does not have much to lose as he cannot seek reelection, it is GEJ that has all to lose as he is desperate to come back, so the war is what is termed an asymmetric war. All amechi has to do is to absorb the attacks and let his term run out. Only the State assembly has the power to remove amechi and with 27 members on his side, it would be impossible to impeach him.

The Greatest mistake GEJ is doing is fighting his opposition when he is yet to consolidate power. Even General Obasanjo was very genle in his first term doing mumu for everybody, including Atiku, Danjuma, IBB, etc. Imagine OBJ fighting Atiku in his first term, he would have been history by 2003. But he consolidated power in tge first term only to unleash it in the second term.

What GEJ is doing is turning Amechi into the rallying point for the opposition - both within and without PDP. It is the high of stupidity to go after your enemies just 2 years into your tenor, even IBB and Abacha did not try it.

If the clueless GEJ adviser's wants to earn their huge pay, they should advise him to make up to Amechi and other people like OBJ or kiss 2015 Goodbye.

Omo_Tier1: Stupidity! When did the constitution empower a party state chairman to sack serving House of Assembly members

abes: Is it possible for someone to remove assembly members that were elected by the people?

I don't believe this story jor.

Demdem: me like the way things are turning out in PH. Surely, the killer party party will never remain the same ahain in Rivers. When its time for the retardeen to seek his party support during the primaries, these suspended members are automatic delegates. I wonder if they will be willing to vote in the retardeen, besides the party cant boot them out from their official positions. Surely, retardeen's support even in his stronghold has dwindled. Nice development.

slimghost:

Arrant Nonsense! You must be a kid! GEJ has nothing to lose by giving Amaechi a hiding because the Governor is not even in charge of PDP in rivers state right about now. When you don't have control of your party, you can't even control the delegates to PDP's convention. Truth is Amaechi picked a wrong battle and there is no way he is winning this. He can as well join APC because his PDP career is over unless he makes up with GEJ and Wike.

nuclearboy:

1. If OBJ slept with his daughter in law, does that mean its right or sensible for GEJ to do same?
2. OBJ with all his autocracy is reputed to have prostrated for Atiku to get a second term. GEJ is slapping Amaechi - is that sensible?
3. OBJ did all his crap in his 2nd term - he had earlier "stooped" to conquer! Whats happening now is a knee-jerk and thoughtless reaction.
4. Sylva! Now Amaechi! Who next? What happens when he becomes like OBJ i.e. the PAST? OBJ was stones with pure water satchets, yet still remains a bit respected even though considered worthless in his own domain. With what GEJ is doing, ,is he truly helping his own future? Is it the militant thugs he has made Billionaires for whom a laundry list of problems await oncfe he's no longer president, that will support him


People should look to history and realise power is transient! If Abati could become turncoat on the people, he will become turncoat on Jonathan. I wish the President would realise these things and stop losing respect with the childish vacuousness he is exhibiting. I remember the way I cheered for him at eagle square and almost feel ashamed today - THIS IS NOT THE DREAM WE HAD OF GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN. We expected better.

You can win battles but lose the war! And that is what seems to be playing out before us! Win a bit here and a bit there, whist amassing enemies who wont forget andf you have a guarantee - the NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIFES WILL COME!

kross_01:
and if i understood what you wrote up there, suspended party members are automatic party delegates from same party that suspended them? Seriously i doubt if some of you guys read what you post

Omo_Tier1:
Go ask Obasanjo, He will be the first to tell you that any state governor in Nigeria that can survive without Federal allocation, that state will send the presidency into a spiral down fall.

Amaech if He decide to use state machineries on the phantom PDP chairman, in less than 6 months, the chairman will be history. But as a learned lawyer, Amaechi has kept His cool. Let GEJ the drunkard continue to play His dirty politics, very little mercy will be shown to Him when the North will begin their fire works against Him come 2014.

As a South-Southern, I strongly hold the view that any credible individual from that region reserve the right to contest the Presidency. And indeed same goes for anyone from any part of Nigeria. GEJ is too intellectually deficient to be a local councilor and it is as though judgment has been visited upon Nigeria with His ascendant to the Presidency.

Then they opined that loosing party membership is tantamount to loosing the position of the chairman of the Governor's forum. what slow logic. It is called the Governor' Forum and not PDP Governor's Forum, so membership is no based on being a member of PDP. Amechi can only lose his position of the chairman of the governor's forum after the next election.

Let me state categorically that GEJ cannot win tge battle against Amechi.

But he consolidated power in tge first term only to unleash it in the second term.

Omo_Tier1:
Again, I say ask Obasanjo. The presidency is only as power as those behind it. Those who have their weight behind Amaechi far out weigh those that have their weight behind GEJ.

FYI, Amaechi is a learned and intelligent man who would have done His home work and rightly so, He would have expected this irrational response from the drunkard with a misplace priority.

Tell me, Has Nigeria not got more trouble at every corner you turn to that GEJ will be looking to create one in Rivers? Do you know the fireworks, when it begins to flare in Rivers State will decimate Nigeria's purse? Need I point out the effort of Amaechi in bringing peace to the once restive River's state when He became the governor in His first term?

Demdem:

2 issues here.
1, the suspension won't hold because it was carried out by a faction which another court of law does not recognized.
2, by virtue of the killer constitution, house members are delegates. If they don't go, retardeen is losing the much needed votes that will be required to defeat the Aboki candidates during their primaries. It's all about the numbers. Also, if they decide to alter the constitution, it can't only be applied for rivers.
Ur thinking is too narrow, think broad.
