On Thursday during the public presentation of Amaechi’s book titled ‘Dynamics of Change: The Amaechi Years’ Prof. Soyinka said: ”Somebody sent me a message from Aso Rock to tell Amaechi that he is playing with fire, his playing with giants and cockatoos. I never delivered that message. Instead, I decided to study Amaechi more closely”.



Prof. Soyinka also commended Amaechi for standing up to President Jonathan during the NGF crisis. He identified the All progressive Congress (APC) national leader Bola Tinubu and Amaechi as the two main agents who brought down the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).


“The political atmosphere today, whatever you call it, change or hope or cautious hope and naked hope or careless hope, I recognise two personalities, in particular, who led the chant of change. One of them, I call him the architect of the process, the architect, in fact, that houses the essence of hope. That is Ahmed Bola Tinubu. The other person was unconsciously, perhaps, the arrow head of that charge that led to the change and that is the man that we gather here to celebrate.”

He also said Amaechi took a gamble during the crisis which exposed him to the wrath of the presidency.


“He (Amaechi) was the one who said no, we cannot turn the clock backwards. Nothing about the philosophy of the clock runs against what we were hoping for. It was a very unpopular and risky decision to take. But it exposed to us the basic arithmetic fallacy of governance in demonstrating that when 16 is said to be higher than 19, something is fundamentally wrong and the same kind of arithmetic leads to the cooking of figures in governance. And it was within that nexus that he stood up and challenged even his own colleagues, and said let’s change the mentality of the stock, let us re-orientate it towards the people and towards the nation and the electorate.”

Meanwhile the acclaimed Nobel Laureate, poet, writer and critic is set to be rewarded for his achievements in the field of poetry by being named as a professor of the field in the prestigious Oxford University.

Amaechi....


The lion of ubima


The slayer of Jonathan and the shepopo

Na una destroy Ameachi make una continue dey make im head big for notin!

Inkman:
Amaechi....


The lion of ubima


The slayer of Jonathan and the shepopo

why are you people disturbing me na

The lizard of Ubima has been thoroughly used.

He lacks support from the home front and currently a liability in Abuja.

Wike is currently unearthing the evil looting of one man who funded a presidential campaign from the state treasury. Amaechi might be the first ex-gov to end up in jail.

There is no way Amaechi's evils and blatant loot will be probed/ exposed ..... and yet he makes Buhari’s cabinet.

The person of Amaechi is a dent on the anti-corruption posture of the new government.

If Buhari insists in including him in his cabinet, then he might need to explain once again what fight against corruption means

Chiaka:
Na una destroy Ameachi make una continue dey make im head big for notin!

Amaechi deserves all the praises and accolades he is getting today!

And now somebody will come and tell me these patriotic elements will be sidelined by this government.

Recycled news

lol.... When will this old man realize that Amaechi does not have Rivers state Money to dole out to him anymore.... I mean can we move on for Dogo Yaro's sake?

Make we hear word kingsley

He identified the All progressive Congress (APC) national leader Bola Tinubu and Amaechi as the two main agents who brought down the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

We'll forever remain grateful to these men. They helped to liberate Nigerians from the firm grip of that otuoke Dillard.

@@@@

but the guys he blabbing out are legal looters of its kinds

then u asked the integrity of the man talking?

Hehehehe . That's all I can say.

Everyone's opinion differs. What you see as a hero/role model, another sees as traitor/vindictive or betrayer.

FYI, @OP mr Soyinka lost the oxford thingy to someone else.

.......... people always want to tell stories so they can feel important concerning issues

How exactly is ameachi destroyed? His candidate won the presidency? He is in line 4 a ministerial post? He is still happily married? His kids are still in school and feeding 3 times a day? He is richer than you ever will be? My friend "Shut your _dumb ass up and quit being a hater! By the way wipe that salt from your mouth, it shows how bitter U presently are!"

Adonbiliv that Soyinka said all that. the grammer is too poor to be linked with Soyinka. in fact, from your heading, Soyinka has already been alienated from what ever statement claimed to be made by him. lastly, the news is as old as Methuselah, Oxford has already awarded her professorship to another guy, Soyinka only took second. a beg no quote me ooooo

That can't stop his probe that is already in process

If it were at sane clime a cultist as Soyinka should be rusting in jail but since it is zoo they are glorified.

How Happily Happy ever after I am and will always be that he never got Rivers State with his Kuku puppet. Continue beating the talking drum for him to dance because that's what you are best at........and let him continue to be eluded by false praise...........wen him jam wall as him don jam so already he will either remain there or retreat.......and you don't need to cause to make a point that's the way of looser. just drop your comment and not to attack people on naira land. If I see you I for slap your face people like us when get action no dey abuse....we reply insults with slaps.
