A former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has written to the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, urging him to retrace his steps and make haste to reconcile with the President, Goodluck Jonathan, rather than continue in a battle he cannot win.

In fact, Kalu said in the letter that Jonathan as the commander-in-chief had the capacity to ground him and make life very miserable for him.

Kalu said: “this is the time to wear your thinking cap and beat a retreat fast. There is no need squabbling with the President, because it is a battle you cannot win. The office of the President of Nigeria carries enormous powers, and when these powers are evoked it crushes anybody in its trail. You should not look at the President as a former deputy governor and vice president. Level has changed. He is now the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He has an unfathomable capacity to make life miserable for you. Forget all the noise your supporters are making: they will desert you the moment you cease to be governor. From the support you have received from the state legislature, members of the National Assembly from your state and other groups, it is certain you are liked and very popular. But that is so long you remain the governor and control tangible financial resources.

Bear in mind that the forces massed against you are formidable..Your priority should be to leave lasting legacies for which generations unborn will remember you. That being the case, you should choose between your personal interest and that of the Rivers State people.

They accuse you of harbouring a vice-presidential ambition. Though there is nothing wrong in that. Nonetheless, you should dump that if it makes some people uncomfortable. Think about your future, safety of your family and the welfare of the people of Rivers State who would be collaterally affected should anything untoward happen to you. God forbid! God has been gracious to you – raising you from grass to grace.

You had been a councilor in Port Harcourt[correction, mine],Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly during the tenure of Peter Odili as governor, and now a two-term governor. What else do you want? If it is the will of God you would be vice president or president, nobody can stop you.

They said you contested for a second term as chairman of NGF against your party’s directive. If that is true, then, it was wrong. So long you remain a PDP governor you must subject yourself to your party’s directive. If you want to do things your own way the proper thing to do is to found your own party or resign from PDP. Your suspension is a prelude to a stiffer action against you, which you may find unpalatable.

As your name ‘Chibuike’ (God is my strength) goes, all will be well with you if you hearken to the voice of reason. God will desert you the moment you fail to listen to the small still voice..Now to those that fuel the crisis in Rivers State: You should search your conscience and desist from fomenting trouble. If you love President Jonathan as you openly profess then you have a responsibility to make him succeed.

And one of the ways to attain this objective is to make peace between him and his perceived adversaries. You should, for once, bury your selfishness and work for peace in Rivers State..Let me make it very clear: the crisis in Rivers State will not lead to the victory for either President Jonathan or Governor Amaechi or their teeming supporters; rather it will end up tearing the entire nation apart, because those involved in the fight are too powerful and connected to be ignored, and their tentacles stretch to as far as Damataru and Jigawa in the north, Lagos and Ogbomosho in the west, Abakaliki and Awka in the east, and Calabar and Yenagoa in the in the south. I rest my case and pray God to intervene in his own way.

thats d truth amechi has to engulf

48 Laws of Power..Law 19 - Know who you're dealing with.

Orji Kalu is perhaps talking from experience. I wish Ameachi would listen. Unlike Soyinka and Tinubu, Yinka Odumakin was one other guy that gave him such spirited advice from the heart. I just wish Ameachi would ignore these "Awusa" governors and APC mischief makers that are deceiving him. I just wish this guy would listen to the voice of wisdom. Ameachi, please listen to your conscience!

Even though am Pro GEJ, orji uzor kalu should go to enyinmba stadium aba and take several seats there and seat down!
Did he practice all these he is advising amaechi to do....he is the last person to advice amaechi!

Read well, when kalu fought Obj and realised he can't fight further, he left PDP and form PPA as fall back position. It's only one who love you will tell you that your mouth is smelling. For this kind of roforofo fight Orji Uzor Kalu remains the best teacher for survival. AMAECHI, time is ticking.

Orji tried this same shit with Obj and see its nt working. So he's advising Amechi from the experiences he had alredy.

Speaking from experience indeed... except that GEJ is not OBJ.

Orji gave a good advise but messed it up with this quote.

In fact, Kalu said in the letter that Jonathan as the commander-in-chief had the capacity to ground him and make life very miserable for him.

Orji Kalu should just shut up and hide his fat head in shame. He left his state worse off than when he came. Amaechi does not need to listen to criminals like him
