Are they telling us that 35 governors cannot conduct a free, fair and transparent election among themselves just to elect a common unconstitutional, ceremonial representative?

Chai!

Kudos to INEC then.

pro01:

Most posters here are indeed.'learners'. Like I mentioned in another thread, Amaechi's 'victory' is a Pyrrhic victory. By even insisting on contesting that election - as if he was desperate to challenge the gods to a wrestling bout - he has brought home ant-infested firewood so he must worry about the inevitable visitation of lizards.

It is unprecedented in the history of the NGF for governors to openly reject the election results and declare their outright refusal to recognise the supposed winner. The implications are ominous for the clown parading himself as NGF chairman. If he has any sense left, he would resign immediately and focus on governing Rivers State for the very little time he has left to enjoy immunity.

This simply shows that PDP is now in disarray. Some of their governors must have voted for Amaechi. This is a sign of surprises that will be witnessed in 2015. PDP was ready to destroy Rivers state because of petti politics. I know the insecurity in Rivers state before Rotimi got their. GEJ & his PDP should allow peace to reign in Rivers state.
As for bootlicker Akpobio, nemesis will soon catch up with him. His 2nd teure as governor will soon be over, let's see where he will go from there.
PDP gov forum & governors forum of the whole country. Which is bigger?pdp is sore loser. Pdp is just a party & not the nation.
Big lesson for so called pdp big wigs to learn. The whole intrigue is very interesting

Re: PDP Governors Reject Amaechi's Election by Nobody: 6:07am On May 25, 2013
Without taking sides . . .this is my take.
This is not the sign of anything, just a test of the waters by a careful calculating man.
The Nigerians Gov. Forum is just a Forum, no constitutional role. Hence as soon as the members are no longer committed to it, it dies a natural death.
GEJ did not need to test out the election to kill the NGF, Having Setup the PDP version, he only needed to make the Govs truant.
Loosing or winning, their is a purpose for Aso Rock, test.

So this is not a test of GEJ, But a test of the workings of the Northern Political Machine, come 2015. They were offered a leading role which they rejected in order to act as a block. Govs. Who will otherwise have been silent have been forced to speak, So now the game of how best to checkmate them begins. Not only that, GEJ now knows who exactly needs to understand Who is in charge.
They were made to show their cards too early in the game, so the battle line is now very clear.

Also Amechi, won an election in a sphere where he is incumbent. How do you think that portends to an election where GEJ is incumbent? Lets see how the major of these Govs begin to loose the political machinery in their states. I Also predict a cabinet reshuffle by GEJ in the coming months.

will Jonathan step down before 2015 election? CAPITAL NO! Amechi won squarely; can't you factor it out that almost all govs from opposition parties would vote for him and some loyal/friends of amechi in PDP! Abeg make apabio go sleep joor!

How many of your guvnors stepped down during their re election bid in 2011. Did ur paymaster also step down during his bid?
Are u saying GEJ should step down in 2015 so that 'he literally conducted his own election which was effectively rigged'...in ur words?...
Use ur brain to post, no the free MB's u have.!

ITbomb: 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.
Shut that your smelling mouth
Re: PDP Governors Reject Amaechi's Election by Nobody: 6:51am On May 25, 2013
I don't think the problem is amaechi being d chairman of the NGF alone, but the fact that the NGF was becoming too strong and was beginning to influence things on the national stage like the state police palaver and the sovereign wealth fund etc. So I think the deal is this, if the NGF is going to be that influential, then it must be in congruence with the ideas of the ruling party else option B is to ensure it loses its influence.

My take is since Amaechi's leadership of the NGF is opposed to some of the policies of the ruling party, and he has won the re-election, by rejecting the result AND ASSERTING JANG AS WINNER, it is very likely that the PDP governors will stop being part of the NGF and strengthen the PDP GF or form a parallel NGF with Jang as chairman just to accommodate governors who aren't PDP governors but share their cause, thereby weakening the NGF.

Well these are just conjectures but I won't be surprised if things play out this way. And if does, it will be interesting to see what Amaechi does because before u know it, allegations of anti party activities will be slammed on him be PDP.

Naija Politics! So much like rocket science.

Lmaoooooo and some people will foolishly come here and say "GEJ's election was the freest and fairest in the history of Africa" like we've all suddenly forgotten the videos of the rigging during the election.

Nigerians are crazy and hypocrites.
Re: PDP Governors Reject Amaechi's Election by figment232(m): 6:53am On May 25, 2013
Pedagogue: D reasons Akpabio and his 'PDP Governor's forum' have given shows how unintelligent they are!!!

They said Amaechi ought to have stepped down as the Chairman of the forum b4 the election was held - Why did they agree to go on with the election since they knew this!!! Since they conceded to that arrangement and proceeded to vote, it is now too late to cry!!!
Apart from this, Akpabio nay GEJ were just clueless as to how best to defeat Amaechi..they had lined up the Governors of Katsina and Bauchi b4 finally settling for Gov. Jang at the last minute!!!Political dis arrangement of the highest order!!!

GEJ and AKPABIO's tactics is obvious- if Amaechi wins, Governors loyal to GEJ should back out of the forum and declare another person as winner. With that, d Governors forum will die a natural death!!!

But whatever may be the case, the fact still remains that GEJ's camp must be sweating over Amaechi's victory. If GEJ could not prevail on PDP governors to vote in his candidate, how can he clinch the party's ticket in 2015?


* I was really stunned to see the Gov of Ondo state being tossed around like an houseboy by Gov. Akpabio in d interview he granted! Mimiko is fast turning to GEJ's south west puppet!!!
You are just overexaggerating.how and when was MIMIKO tossed around ,i watched the interview on AIT and didnt notice anything of such.EWU like you

mbhs139: It may sound funny, but really I don't know who this Jang is. I thought Dariye is the Governor of Plateau State?

If we were even to vote on Nairaland, I'm sure Rotimi would have won with a land slide.

Welcome jare, omo aunty mi le'gba

And u r proud to show off ur lame ignorance. With all the happenings in plateaus state ,the newspaper reports,online news and google available @ the blink of an eye...haba! I thought awolowo was the national chairman of CAN and abacha is still the president of nigeria!
Re: PDP Governors Reject Amaechi's Election by Smartluv(m): 6:55am On May 25, 2013
my advice to PDP is that they trade with caution cus if they eventually loose GEJ in their nomination. PDP will loose d presidential election no matter who they nominated. For now PDP dnt hv any better candidate than GEJ.

we can now see the problem we are in when our governors can not hold an election among 36 persons. How can they carry out an election for 162.5 Million people properly ?
Re: PDP Governors Reject Amaechi's Election by dulphines: 7:02am On May 25, 2013
What we need to know is that Jonah Jang who happens to be Amaechi's oponent voted for Amaechi.If Akpabio is curious about the 3 missing votes, he should ask Jonah Jang and his brothers.

As a Nigerian, my pleasure is that the interest of Nigeria is being served. The NGF has in most recent times grown to become a cabal that foist her wish on the entire nation and fustrate any meaningful reform that will affect their selfish interest. A lot of folks have continued to pray for GOd to deliver us from this cabal called NGF. Today i see that deliverance, jus like when men develop "smart" idea to play GOD in the bible in the building of TOWER OF BABEL. God gave them a discordant tone to sing. This exactly is the happenning with NGF and it is in the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.
Re: PDP Governors Reject Amaechi's Election by Pukkah: 7:12am On May 25, 2013
Honestly, what are Jang's achievements as a governor to pitch him against an Amechi? And the losers' camp sincerely expected Jang to defeat Amechi? So they would have celebrated a Jang's victory?

The problems with Nigeria are so many. Why didn't Jang's backers make up their minds on time? Rather than re-assess their faulty strategy, they're wailing and trying to discredit the entire process and the forum.

If no be say Presidency put mouth,you think say Jonah Jang go get any vote against Ameachi?
Even with their(Presidency) former candidates self,Katsina or Bauchi state Governors,I predicted winning for Ameachi,let alone Jonah Jang!
Please,anyone who isn't satisfied with the outcome of the election or the result can take a short cut.......(OTAPIAPIA dey or go hang yourself)

He was twice governor during Military regime in other wor millitary administrator of Benue and The old Gongola.
