Sore losers, how can they reject the election. There are only 36 of you, 19 voted Amaechi and 16 voted Jang. What kind of cheating can be done? Shame on Akpabio, Mimiko and their boss GEJ for being plain stupid! |

eGuerrilla: Not yet uhuru for Amaechi? Those supporting Jonathan against Amaechi in a purely democratic process have very short memories! How many years ago was Jonathan the underdog with Turai Yaradua and co insulting him, relegating him to the background and generally behaving as if they owned Nigeria? NOW Jonathan is doing the same thing they did to him and has forgotten that those who live by the sword die by it - You got there because people saw the injustice being meted against you and fought for you at a time when Yaradua's ADC could pull out his service weapon and intimidate you. Now, a man who was loved, prayed for and supported, has turned against the very people who supported him and is now a reincarnation of Turai! People ought remember where they are coming from else they will be returned back. 11 Likes |

Addressing the press at the end of an emergency meeting at the Akwa Ibom Government House in Abuja, Mr. Akpabio, leading Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, Peter Obi of Anambra, and others, said the ballot papers used for the election were not serialized thus allowing for manipulation. I swear Akpabio,Mimiko and Obi are high on cheap drugs. Shameless loosers! |

GEJ wanted Ameachi out. He put Akpabio to be PDP Gov Forum chairman to endorse Yuguda of Bauchi. The northern governors prevailed and endorsed a weaker Jang of Plateau to contest against Amaechi. Ameachi won by 19 votes to 16 votes of Jang. What does that tell you. GEJ has no ally in South West and the core North. His allies are only in the South South and South East. Trust me, it gives you a glimse at 2015 and where lies the strength of APC (the new opposition frontier). I am sure Aso Rock is in disarray now. My opinion is that when opposition unite, they can cause major havoc for the ruling party. Read below http://premiumtimesng.com/news/128589-despite-pdps-noise-amaechi-will-win-re-election-as-governors-forum-chairman-fayemi.html Despite PDP’s ‘noise’, Amaechi will win re-election as Governors’ Forum Chairman- Fayemi Oti Omatsone Published: April 8,2013 Governor Kayode Fayemi The two men were in Ekiti State together. The Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, gave an insight into the political machinations going on among the 36 state governors, when he declared on Saturday that the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, will be re-elected as chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF. Mr. Fayemi said this in Ikogosi-Ekiti on Saturday at a symposium organised The Future Awards with the theme “Project 2015: the character of our involvement.” Mr. Amaechi has become unpopular with the presidency and the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party over his stance on major national issues. The Rivers State Governor’s influence was said to have troubled the presidency into forming the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum, with a more malleable governor, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, as chairman. The first meeting of the PDP Governors Forum was, however, boycotted by some of the party’s governors including Mr. Amaechi; with some sending their deputies, and others abstaining completely. Why they don’t want me Mr. Amaechi, who was at the Ekiti program along with Mr. Fayemi, gave an insight into why the presidency is uncomfortable with him. He said the problem comes from his public stance against the corruption in the petrol subsidy payments and the use of money meant for all tiers of government to pay for subsidy. “Governors are not opposed to fuel subsidy, governors are just frustrated about the corruption in it,” he said. “They balloon the figures.” “It is one reason they (the presidency) don’t want me as governor’s chairman,” the Rivers Governor told the audience largely made up of youth from across Nigeria. He’ll remain in office PREMIUM TIMES had reported on plans to remove Mr. Amaechi as NGF chairman before the last meeting held earlier in the year. At the end of the meeting, the governors, after intense power play, agreed to retain Mr. Amaechi as chairman, until his tenure ends in May. The Rivers Governor is, however, eligible for a second term as governor; and his Ekiti counterpart, a member of the opposition Action Congress of Nigeria, said he will be re-elected. “Forget the noise you are hearing out there, when election (for Governors’ Forum Chairman) comes, you will see,” Mr. Fayemi said assuring that Mr. Amaechi will be re-elected. |

eGuerrilla: Bros, Amaechi is PDP Jonathan is PDP Both are South-South Politicians from the Oil producing region and both were governors. Jonathan was NOT supposed to contest 2011 - that is the undiluted truth. But he expessed interest, was allowed, was supported by even the north he now sees as his greatest enemy, won (subject to quite a bit of dissent)and now he wants 2015. Fair enough, its a man's right to decide how he wishes to be seen (either as a gentleman or a traitor to agreements). So why can't Amaechi want whatever he aspires to? If you believe you are the best, allow others compete with you, simple! This undemocratic nonsense they are all doing just shows these are very uncouth untrustworthy characters 3 Likes |

I believe a block vote of all SE except Okorocha, all SS except Oshiomole and Amaechi voted for Jang. That's a total of 8. Jang voted for himself making it 9 votes. Then traditional allies like Mimiko of Ondo, Yuguda of Bauchi, Shema of Kastina, Suswam of Benue, Abdullateef Ahmed of Kwara voted for him too raising the tally to 14. How did they even manage to get two more votes to make it 16? |

nuclearboy: You see this is what beats me... We model our system of democracy on what is practiced in more advanced nations, and yet obstinately refuse to entrench the rights it affords to its adherents. The views expressed by some commentators on this thread is clearly symptomatic of all that is wrong with the current system. 3 Likes |

Prof Corruption: You are absolutely correct. I guess they made it to 16 because of one or two pallies of Jang. He must have supporters too. lol |
Re: Amaechi loses bid to return as Governor of Governors - Newsexpressngr by GarbaAudu: 8:59pm On May 24, 2013 |
It may not be accurate, but this is likely how the Governors cast their votes: Jonah Jang- Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Delta, AkwaIbom, CrossRiver, Ondo, Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Kwara, Kogi, Kaduna, Katsina. Rotimi Amaechi- Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Edo, Rivers, Imo, Nassarawa, Niger, Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kano, Jigawa, Bauchi, Yobe, Borno, Adamawa. The absentee Gombe Governor should have voted for Jonah Jang (being a first term Governor aspiring for re-election). 3 Likes |

Garba Audu: It may not be accurate, but this is likely how the Governors cast their votes: Puzzle solved. Taraba governor is a new man still courting attention of Mr president. Recall, the "real" governor is somewhere receiving treatment for injuries sustained during plane crash. Kaduna is the political home of Sambo. |

eGuerrilla: What most don't see is the lesson of the past - the person who has most to lose is the one who WILL lose most. Which is why the comments fly by me. They only portend a more pitiable ending for the main actor, because no matter what happens NOW, this president has finally been totally demystified simply by sticking his fingers in this. Any ragamuffin can now aspire to dare him since, its been done and successfully too 3 Likes |

eGuerrilla: Contrary to general fear that pervades the land, 2015 ll be peaceful. GEJ's demystification is an on going project and by middle of next year the electoral map would be too glaring, too solidified to be altered at will. Why did they go into a high stake election when victory was not assured considering the witch hunting, intimidation and deployment of wicked machinery of state against Amaechi? GEJ is working with men who put their strength in force not wisdom. Otherwise, Amaechi would have been congratulated immediately or perhaps asked the president to personally place a call to him. A war is a series of battles, you win some, you lose some too but the overall focus is the war. GEJ is a poor student of history. Discrediting an election in the crude, shameful and idiotic manner they are doing now is even a kind of promotion and projection of Amaechi as a larger than life fellow in a coded language. Amaechi who is against GEJ today may turn out to be his best friend tomorrow. Afterall, the arrow head of opposition to Amaechi in Rivers was once a close confidant and Chief of Staff to him. There're no permanent friends, no permanent enemies. Only interests. ACN/CPC/ANPP (APC) voted for Amaechi purely based on their strategic thinking about electoral battle ahead. |
