Chai..........see our lives outside! We will almost kill ourselves that Saraki should be jailed and sentimentally want Amaechi as Minister. Now see the same Saraki planning to save The Lion. These people are just one, don't do the abobaku on them.

Fake news is when they say Akpabio is now supporting Amechi. Amechi that fought GEJ and bank-rolled Buhari's campaign, siphoning all River's money to the North.
Please stop insulting the great Akpabio.
He deserves better.

Senate President Bukola Saraki and 12 other senators may have resolved to support the confirmation of former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi as cabinet minister, sources said yesterday.

The three Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators representing Rivers State had raised an objection to Amaechi’s nomination and vowed to stop his confirmation.

Our correspondent gathered that Saraki and former governors in the Senate have vowed to save one of their own from humiliation.

Besides Saraki, others in the group are Senators Godswill Akpabio, Sam Egwu, Theodore Orji, Joshua Dariye, Danjuma Goje and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Others are Senators Jonah Jang, George Akume, Bukar Abba Ibrahim, Ahmad Sani, Aliyu Wamakko, Adamu Aliero and Isiaka Adeleke.

Our correspondent further gathered that the senators, who cut across party lines, may have started reaching out to other senators to garner enough support for Amaechi.

It was also revealed that while Saraki will be rallying All Progressives Congress (APC) senators, Akpabio who is the Minority Leader will be reaching out to senators of PDP extraction.

An aide to one of the senators who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity shortly after plenary session on Wednesday, confirmed the senators’ position.

The aide said: “I can confirm to you that all the senators who were governors have decided to rally support for Amaechi to ensure his confirmation. As a matter of fact, they have picked two among themselves as contact persons.

“Their position is that somebody who is qualified enough to be governor should also be good enough to be minister. The ex governors are also of the view that humiliation of one of them is humiliation of all”.

You're rookie in Politics,
By Supporting Amaechi,, Akpabio wants to remain in the Good books of PMB and secure his own loot.
He doesn't gain anything by being enemies with amaechi

Really, pitying buhari for Compromise with saraki and past governors. This is saraki wining and pdp/npdp take upper hand. Buhari is loosing in this game since he cannot do without saraki and Pdp/npdp. Shame on his anti corruption war that he is fighting by depending on the people he said that they are corrupt. Buhari is fighting for Corrupt men that he wants to appoint ministers because they used their state corrupt money to sponsor his election. SHAME SHAME SHAME

Amaechi has a date with destiny. Saraki handed NGF to Amaechi& both belong to nPDP and left for APC. If Akpabio(PDP) is in alliance with Saraki despite Saraki's humiliation of PDP like Amaechi, I don't see any problems with Akpabio et al supporting Amaechi.

The mention of Akpabio is enough for any discerning mind to know that the story is fallacy..this is how your media Wing hoodwink the masses, and then force themselves into positions with the excuse that they had support from heaven itself

The crowing of Amaechi and other corrupt element ministers of the federal republic of Nigeria is a confirmation that Nigeria under Buhari will continue the tradition of encouraging corruption and sheer hypocrisy. Buhari has proven to be a cancer in the anti-corruption fight and a promoter of coruption. No sane country would take Nigeria under Buhari serious considering his open support for the sustenance of corruption. It is a shame that a more corrupt government has taken over the reins of power.

RIVERS PEOPLE, LEARN FROM FAYOSE OF EKITI STATE.

Support Fayemi's Nomination, Fayose Tells Ekiti National Assembly Members by MrImole(m): 8:18am
Ekiti State Governor, Bashorun Peter Ayodele Fayose has directed lawmakers representing the state in Abuja to ensure a former governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi have a hitch free screening exercise at the floor of the senate come 13th October 2015 when screening of the country's ministerial nominees is scheduled to take off.
Fayose who made this known while having a father to son discussion with student leaders of Ekiti origin at the conference hall of the governor's office Wednesday night said "Ekiti is my number one priority, I called all the house of reps and senators that went to Abuja from here, some people petitioned the national assembly, stating how Fayemi sunk Ekiti into heavy debt, I have told the members not to do that.
"It is God that judge people, not we. You must support him there. If a child would die, it shouldn't be from the mother. They should not go to the house and oppose Kayode Fayemi, NO, they must never do that. An Ekiti man is an Ekiti man. I appeal to everybody, you must support him.
"All former ministers from here in the time past practically really have nothing to show because we pull one another down, we pull one another down... We must not pull them down. If they are behaving like that, we must live a better life. Promotion does not come from man but from God Almighty"

Nice development. Amaechi the slayer of the clueless man will make it. Forget all these obstacles.

Wailers before ministerial list: Amaechi has been used and dumped by the Apc. He became a laughing stock.

Wailers after ministerial list: This change is fake. As long as Buhari Nominated Amaechi,he isn't serious on his corruption war.

These guys are a gift that keeps on giving.

My brother Pls tell them. It is strange how pple take positions just to push their imaginatiins through.

You are quite a dishonest man for crucifying a man that has not been convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction. Your hypocrisy wouldn't allow you see beyond this government to the endemic of corruption that bedevilled the last government.

I perceived you are sinking slowly to insanity with the level of hate you littered this forum daily. The accusation still lies largely on your Gej for failing to bring this persons to account if indeed they actually stole. You will do well to toe Pa Clark who has been beat to line by the change mantra, otherwise you will remain a lone ranger shooting yourself all the time.
