what does these portend for Nigeria's democracy?

what is really going on in Nigeria?

How could Amaechi let things to degenerate to this despicable level?
How could Jonathan and Amaechi play with interest of the people of Rivers state?

It is indeed sad and I foresee a massive breakdown of law and order beyond what it is presently, not only in Rivers, but in Nigeria at large, which will usher in the much talked about disintegration of this polity called Nigeria.

You have woken the sleeping lion! be ready to face the ......!

jokers! since when did the house of rep become the house of assembly? our constitution say that, the house of assembly not 'house of rep' would take over any state assembly if they are not able to sit.but RSHA sat yesterday and passed the appropration bill.which he amechi would use to settle some of this so called federal law makers.what they dont know is that river state is not like our states in the south west they are dreaming.sit back and watch event unfold.they claim anti amechi lawmakers are 5.the question i ask is why has the speaker not convened the assembly since if he has majority only to do so yesterday because it was about releasing money.

Clowns! Who took over the functions of the house of assembly when they were engaging in their own boxing bouts with Dino and co? The reason why Rivers State Assembly is having difficulty in sitting is due to security challenges and not any crisis. There is no crisis in Rivers state House of Assembly, there are 27 members in one camp and 5 in the opposing camp, and 5 members can not cause any crisis. It is the failure of the commissioner of police to provide security cover for the sittings that is the problem. Afterall the 27 form a quorum without the need for the 5.

The house should just have summoned the IG to come and explain why th Rivers commissioner of police could not provide security cover for legislative sittings in Rivers State, or do they think they would be able to sit themselves if there is no adequate security cover.

So how long do the House of representatives hope to ursurp the functions of the Rivers State House of Assembly?

That is never going to happen because the President will need the approval of the Federal house of Rep. and senate to make such proclamation and the house of rep will vote against it for sure.

So, Na Win Win for Amaechi tongue

You want a CP that will shoot people at the orders of amaechi. Just like they behaved during Odili's time The Hausa/Yoruba politicians finally got what they wanted, their Boko haram in the southsouth. Tambuwal is now the speaker of River's state house of assembly. How silly are you? Why have they not taken over other state houses. You see why Amaechi will never be seen as anything but loser in the southsouth

Always knew Amaechi was a smart politician. He waited for GEJ to depart for AU and knocked Jang out the next day. Now he was 100% sure GEJ, PEJ and Wike would be in China then asked d assembly members to seat knowing there would be chaos, now National Assembly takes over House of Assembly behind GEJ. So well planned. So smart. He even got a budget passed. No more impeachments. What would GEJ do when he arrives? His jamboree gives plenty room for Amaechi-wiseman.

What happen yesterday shows Amaechi is in trouble.Reps were also partial in their decisions.I watch the contribution of Abike and two members from River state.

Senate will never allow this happen.Is a pity Amaechi is the only Governor hunted by his selfishness.Lamido,Aliyu and co are moving about their businesses without any intimadation even though they critizes GEJ frequently.

This shows Amaechi is a pawn been used by Tinubu and co.

You need to look at the script closer, Jonathan's fate is tied to amaechi. If it ends bad for amaechi, it will also end bad for Jonathan. Using Federal might unjustly against a governor will further alieniate the president from more pdp governors ( a lot of them will not come out openly now) and also alienate the president from the public - especially other regions outside the southwest and south south.


Gej and his acolytes cannot do anything to Amaechi unless he is impeached or killed, and impeachment is out of the question now. They have played their card and failed, it will be impossible for the 5 to impeach the speaker and Amaechi now.


GEJ is so predictable that you do not neef TB Joshua to predict what will happen next. The next move would be to expel the 27 lawmakers and amaechi and then declare their seats vacant claiming that they have lost their seats as a result of amendment of the 1999 constitution. And then immiediately arrest them and lock them up with the feeling that the case would drag on at the courts. But the suspension is still in court so Jonathan would have problems expelling and arresting amaechi.

I know things would get ugly as militants would be deployed by both sides.

Please tell him some truth. Amaechi has done his 2nd term. It is GEJ that is seriously desiring a 2nd term in office. Mr lastpope, we will still be here when the problems GEJ is causing will also engulf him

Hey, why are you so angry? That the CP deployed by PEJ to assist in destabilizing the state and cause blood shed is to be removed? We want a neutral CP, and the governor can never order the CP to shoot at any one. I don't know if you are Rivers, but you people are supporting illegality. A first lady and a minister are harassing the governor, bringing back militants to cause chaos, and you are supporting it. I don't know what your reasons are, maybe you are paid or you just hate Amaechi. But I tell you, PEJ/GEJ and Wike are fighting for their personal, selfish ambition. By the time militants take over Rivers again and they impose a governor who will do it nothing but share the money and say yes sir to PEJ,we are the ones that would suffer. All of you who have been running your mouth, will be the same ones complaining. I hope it does not happen, but we are here and we are watching.
