The confusion is yet to start na. Let the campaign start. Some people private jet will run out of fuel mid air because they would have exhaust all avenues of borrowing money, and then the game will be clearer and Tinubu will hold on to his own cash.

Amaechi is just an errand boy,nearing oblivion,I wonder how an elderly man can be so easily brain washed.Even Mama patience has insulted him ,and all port har ourt indigenes cursed him.

Anyway when wike becomes governor ,he will destroy amaechis houses and build a road on the premises,and a sign shall be erected that reads " former premises of Amaechi,the traitor of portharcourt"

helinues:
Rotimi Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, has revived his hopes of getting the vice-presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), launching a last-minute move to dislodge Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos, who had looked all set to fill the slot.

Backed by Bukola Saraki, former governor of Kwara state, as well as some APC governors opposed to the candidature of Tinubu, Amaechi got the enlarged meeting of the party’s leadership in Abuja on Monday night to reset the entire selection process.

The opposition to Tinubu is based on the need to avoid a Muslim-Muslim ticket, an argument that will also knock out Babatunde Fashola, the governor of Lagos, who is well loved in many parts of Nigeria.

Tinubu is also being opposed on the basis of his “past” ─ although his supporters argue that there is no case against him, neither has he been convicted in any court of law.

Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the party, had ceded the choice of his running mate to Tinubu as the political leader of the south-west, which is the second largest voting bloc in the country.

In his calculations, Buhari had sought to avoid the mistakes he made in the past when he picked his running mates all by himself, deciding that a major power bloc should be involved this time around.
However, the south-west caucus of the APC met for long hours last weekend and could not come to a definite decision, but narrowed down to Tinubu and Yemi Osinbajo, a professor of law and former attorney general of Lagos, as well as Adams Oshiomhole, governor of Edo state which is in the south-south region.
Buhari is said to be “unenthusiastic” about Osinbajo because his gamble with Tunde Bakare, also a pastor, did not work in 2011.

But the presidential candidate is also worried about the backlash of abandoning Tinubu, who is expected to deliver the south-west in the 2015 poll.

Amaechi, who had been the biggest financier of the Buhari bid, had been left in the lurch, but his maneouvers in Abuja on Monday night may change the course of events.

Not only has it changed the direction of the discussion, other southern zones are now making a strong case for the VP slot.
The south-east, which had initially been written off as a no-go area for Buhari, is now asking to be considered, with former ANPP chairman, Ogbonnaya Onu, former Anambra governor, Chris Ngige, and governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, being given a look-in.

The enlarged meeting has now pushed the decision back to Buhari to make by himself in what will potentially put the former head of state in a tight corner.

I wish i can float a new party now to catch those that will run out of APC next week. I am sure they will be ready to pay billions for party ticket.

Amechi, this has to be a do or die affair for you, If after all the rivers state money u looted and invested in APC you could not secure your immunity as VP.

Goodluck jonathan will roast u, when he wins in 2015. I said the choice of buhari has destroyed the party.

If Buhari is wise he should give the slot to Amaechi...he has the support of the SW tinubu/fashola or not...he needs the SS which Amaechi will deliver to him & SE can also trickle some votes for him because of amaechi....

I can conclude that amaechi hs been the one bankrolling sahara reporters to pit their tent with buhari.
For the past 24hours,sahara reporters has been waging press war against the person of tinubu
Sahara reporters is obviously championing the selection of Amaechi as the vp candidate to Buhari.
