Before Defecting, Rivers Deputy Governor Plotted Amaechi’s Sack – APC by viczing(m): 10:50pm On Mar 23, 2015
This one is a face saving story for apc, this show that the man is a heavyweight in there camp and they are disappointed he left all they could do is call him names and lay accusations



The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has expressed joy over the exit of the state deputy governor, Tele Ikuru, from the party, describing him as a “mole” in the party.
Mr. Ikuru resigned his membership of the APC on Sunday, describing it “as a party of rebels, insurgents and anarchists clothed in robes of pretence and deceit”.
He also canvassed support for the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Nyesom Wike.
The governor, Chibuike Amaechi, has since expressed shock over the reasons given by his deputy for dumping the APC, which both of them joined in 2013.
In a statement, the Chairman of the APC in Rivers State, Davies Ikanya, described Mr. Ikuru’s exit as “good riddance to bad rubbish”.
He said, “Contrary to the thinking in some quarters, the defection of Engr. Tele Ikuru did not come to us as a surprise. Rather than being shocked, we feel relieved that he is no more part of us because Ikuru was a PDP mole in our midst all these while. Unknown to most people, Ikuru initially refused to leave PDP for APC with Governor Rotimi Amaechi in November 2013.
“However, after series of meetings with his uncle and political mentor, Chief Uche Secondus, the National Vice Chairman of PDP, and some other PDP bigwigs, he was prevailed upon to follow his principal into APC.
“Engr. Ikuru was asked to stay behind to monitor the activities of APC and most importantly to act as a mole for his uncle and plot the fall of APC in the State – a mission which he failed to accomplish because APC is not just a party in Rivers State but indeed a revolutionary movement fully embraced and jealously guarded by the people of the State.”
Mr. Ikanya alleged that the calculation of the PDP and Mr. Ikuru was that Mr. Amaechi would be impeached by hook or crook to clear the way for him (Ikuru) to assume as governor.
He said in keeping with the plot of making Mr. Ikuru the substantive governor, the PDP set in motion a machinery, to use five members of the State House of Assembly to impeach the Speaker, but the move was foiled by the Majority Leader, Chidi Lloyd, and other members of the House.
The APC chairman added that the plan was that after impeaching the Speaker, the five “renegade” lawmakers would go ahead to impeach Mr. Amaechi and subsequently declare Mr. Ikuru as the substantive governor.
“When this plot failed, Engr. Ikuru was asked to remain in APC in the hope that the Presidency would somehow find a way to force Gov. Amaechi out of office,” Mr. Ikanya said.
“As part of this plot, the Presidency contrived a crisis with regard to the appointment of a Chief Judge for the State but failed to actualise the appointment of Justice Daisy Okocha, who was expected to facilitate the impeachment of Gov Amaechi.
“When this plot failed, PDP resorted to the mobilisation of ex-militants from Bayelsa and Rivers states to protest in the State in the hope that this would result in an insecurity crisis to be used as an excuse by the Presidency to declare a state of emergency in Rivers and impose Engr. Ikuru as Governor.”
The APC chairman further explained that when all this failed, the deputy governor was asked to remain in APC in the hope that the party would give him its gubernatorial ticket or a senatorial ticket.
He stressed, “When this failed his uncle, Uche Secondus, advised him to stay on but this time to destabilize APC in his Andoni Local Government Area.
“Towards this end, Engr. Ikuru pocketed hundreds of millions of naira meant for the development of the party in Andoni and threw in the towel as he was about to be called to account for anti-party activities after asking his supporters not to attend the door to door rally held by Dr Dakuku Peterside, the APC gubernatorial candidate in February, 2015 and the women mobilisation organised by Dame Judith Amaechi the wife of the Governor of Rivers State few weeks ago.”
Mr. Ikanya said for some time now the deputy governor had stopped attending to his official duties or following the party to campaign rallies.
“We are, therefore, expectedly relieved by his exit and wish to call on our teeming supporters not to shed a tear as it will have no effect whatsoever on the fortunes of APC and its candidates in the forthcoming general elections in the State instead to thank God for removing a ‘Judas Iscariot’ in our midst,” the APC chairman said.

I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER TAKE SIDES WITH PDP/APC BULLSH*T. ONE WEIRD THING I NOTICED WAS WHEN THE FIVE GUYS WHO TRIED TO IMPEACH THE RIVERS STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY SPEAKER WITHOUT SUCCESS, AS SOON AS THE FRACAS SPILLED OVER, THE ONLY MAN WHO CALMED EVANS BIPI WAS TELE IKURU. SURPRISINGLY, EVANS BIPI LISTENED TO HIM. IN THAT VOLATILE ATMOSPHERE, IT WAS SOMEONE IN AMAECHI'S CAMP THAT WAS ABLE TO CALM BIPI. I FOUND THAT TO BE QUITE STRANGE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU PEEPS BUT, FROM THE GODFATHER MOVIE PARTS 1,2 &3, I LEARNT THAT THE BRAIN BEHIND THE TROUBLE USUALLY TRIES TO PORTRAY HIMSELF AS THE PEACEMAKER.

FOR US NEUTRAL CITIZENS, THIS IS A BIG LESSON WE HAVE LEARNT, AND SHOULD APPLY IN OUR PLACE OF WORK. WHAT THESE POLITICIANS DON'T KNOW IS THAT WE CAN FIGURE THEM OUT.

Allegations are coming up cos of this man's decision. Let them say what they want but what we should understand is this. The man is the deputy governor and after due consideration if he had any belief that APC will win the election in the state, he wouldn't have left them. He has seen that less than a week to the election, they can't win it that's why he left to secure his political future.

Amaechi's case is a case of your house is on fire and you are busy chasing rats on the road. That man Dakuku seems to be a good man but Amaechi will be his curse and his blessing. Justice Agumagu who is arguably the most respected judge in the state has brought himself low as to be suspended by the NJC all cos of Amaechi.

As far as Rivers State is concerned, APC isn't going anywhere. Amaechi can't eat his cake and have it.

I leave with Tele Ikuru's words- "the more I struggle to belong to APC the more the Rivers man in me keeps rejecting it"

If by chance Buhari wins this election, extremely hard times lies ahead for this country.

Definitely, the creeks will go haywire again, Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.

OBJ's use of JTF force could not help as no Oil producing company will risk producing crude and killing staff in a volatile region.

GEJ under Yaradua had to get down to the creeks to to talk to these boys and effect the amnesty program because they found him as a representation in government.

If after GEJ's achievements in almost all sectors, roads, bridges, railways, agriculture, automobile, alamajiri schools, new universities, fertilizer and ghost worker scam elimination, freedom of press, FOI, free and fair elections, power sector. .........etc, he is still booted out. It will be impossible to convince a ND minority albeit a militant that their own was not persecuted out of office. And that will be the theme of the new struggle. The long term solution to this mess is implementing the Confab report and enthroning true federalism.

While these persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investments will seize in all sectors.

And even if the troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one location along the multi- kilometre trunklines to continue to wreck havoc.

Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015.

Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished.

And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.And then we will ask.... Why were we this silly?

And before you quote me, make sure you outline in clear terms how you or Buhari will avert this obvious calamity staring us in the face


Only last week, they creek boys seem to have resumed activities by kidnapping at Yoho facility operated by Exxonmobil and have shut in 80KBD already. Are we ready for this for the next 4 years?

The entire world stands to benefit from a crisis in the Niger delta. Its not a coincidence that USA who abandoned us at the height of bokoharam is busy shouting for change in govt . Crises in the ND will reduce supply of crude to the Oil market and that would drive up the price of crude for producing countries.... But at Nigeria's expense.

Nigerians.... Be Warned!!!
