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 silly!

The election was not rigged. They were just disappointed that their candidate lost and they are not prepared to accept Amaechi as Chairman.

So u believe Mimiko, Akpabio and Obi?

Only an unwise governor will vote against Amaechi. If GEJ could do this to Amaechi, then he can do it to any one of them. Its better they stay with Amaechi than to lean on our 2015-obsessed president because when push comes to shove, the president might flog anyone of them like he did to Amaechi. The message they just passed to the president is this: You cannot just rubbish one of us because of your ambition. We deserve some respect.

By the way, how do u wanna rig a vote of 36 people? 36. C'mon.

GEJ has not seen anything yet. He should wait for what lies ahead at the PDP Presidential convention where he gets the shock of his life. The Northern governors hold the largest delegates for him to secure his second term but most of these Northern Governors are now against him.

Were those Governors (Akpabio, Mimiko and Obi) sleeping while Amaechi and allies rigged the elction? We are talking about election that took place among 35 sitting Governors. How did the rigging happen?

Governors spoke “with one voice” says Amaechi

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State the winner of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum election which took place in Abuja has thanked the all who made the re-election bid possible

Amaechi said “Today our democracy was tested and proven. Democracy is about participation. The aim of democratic governance is for everyone to partake in winning”


Rotimi Amaechi, Rivers State Governor
He won re-election as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum defeating his opponent Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State by 3 votes.

Mr. Amaechi won 19 votes from the 35 governors present, while Mr. Jang, a late entrant to the competition garnered 16 votes. Gombe state governor was said to be absent during the election

Amaechi’s Acceptance Speech in full

“Today our democracy was tested and proven. Democracy is about participation. The aim of democratic governance is for everyone to partake in winning

Today the governors have spoken with one voice reaffirming our faith in democratic governance as the hope of Nigeria’s future. I must thank my colleagues for their tenacity and determination to ensure the unity of the forum but more importantly of our nation.

We remain committed to supporting our leader, the president and commander in chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Dr.Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to realize the development dream of all Nigerians by reducing tension, uncertainty and insecurity in our beloved country.

We want to pledge our steadfastness and resolve working alongside Mr. President to better the lives of our people as we render transparent and accountable stewardship.

Finally our thanks go to all those who have patiently endured these times especially our constituents and members of the fourth estate of the realm who have followed these elections with keen interest. We promise that we will not betray the confidence you have reposed in us.

Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, CON

Two things are involved. Either PDP governors forum chaired by Akpabio will secede from the NGF, thus disorganizing the forum ( which is what GEJ wanted anyway) or Amechi will accept to quash d election and re-contest. Any which way is a show down.

It takes a rigger to know when another rigger outsmart him.
Amaechi na wise man politically.
Akpabio thinks it is by licking another man's yansh as his own sycophants are also licking his in his state.
Akpabio should know that politics is not about gathering people in a room and share money then STRIKE out any name that they dont like and imposing a senator, it is about earning loyalty and respect.

Let's put this in perspective please. This is an electorate of 36 of the foremost political leaders of the country, voting for an office that is strictly ceremonial without any executive, legislative or judicial functions. And some still believe that we are making some progress?
I have said it before, the one and only problem bedeviling Nigeria without any contributing factors is that people do not act in good faith. We have become so denuded of character in our private and public activities that he have totally lost all sense of decency.
