What Fayose's PDP Know,But Wike's PDP Dont Know
Yesterday, the cantankerous Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fasoye tried to pull a masterstroke as one plays politics without bitterness when he jolted Nigerians with an unexpected statement, urging Ekiti Senators not to oppose the nomination of his predecessor, Kayode Fayemi as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
That of course earned him kudos from all and sundry. No one expected Fayose to exhibit such peaceful disposition considering what he is known best at- full scale opposition to anything APC!
This is contrary to the continued drama in Rivers state where the PDP led by Gov. Nyesom Wike has spent long hours from dusk to dawn, strategizing on how best to scuttle former Governor Rotimi Amaechi's appointment as a Minister under President Buhari.
The truth, for the benefit of those who don't know is that Fayose knows something Wike knows but pretends not to know.
There is no written rule that says that a Ministerial nominee MUST be confirmed for appointment by at least two of three Senators from his or her state.
Fayose is in touch with his people and must have been informed that there was an Executive Session yesterday in the Senate chambers were some modifications and ammendments were made.
While it is better to allow some ignorant members of the PDP in Rivers state or beyond to keep having a false sense of hope that Amaechi will not scale through the screening because of the so called 2 over 3 rule, it's important to inform those willing to know that the APC controlled Senate and Federal Government know that the right against Amaechi is a fight against Buhari and the APC.
The ruling party will never succumb to the antics of the PDP which is on a vengeance mission.
The Senators who are mostly APC especially from the North and the West know better! And for this reason, an Executive Session was held where the issue among others were discussed and laid to rest.
I will only mention the three issues raised without bothering myself to give a detailed report.
First, on the issue of two over three, reasons were given in why that rule, though unwritten was made. It was made because the upper chamber discovered a dangerous trend in the past where Ministers and Senators from their states were usually at loggerheads. In a bit to foster better co-operation and unity, it was agreed in practise that the Ministerial nominee should be confirmed by two out of three Senators from his state.
But all that has changed. Just as the unwritten rule of a first time Senator not elected as a principal officer, where there exists older members from that zone, (recall the recent case of Godswill Akpabio, a first timer versus George Sekibo over the position of Senate Minority leader), so the rule has been modified. The new rule is that the nominee should be in touch with at least two out of three Senators. Reason for the modification is that Ministers are serving the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not their states. Therefore, Ministers are not to be endorsed by their State reps.
Secondly, the former practice of the Senators from a Stare to escort a nominee out of the Senate Chambers after screening is no longer acceptable. Rather, the Senators can only shake hands with the nominee as he makes his way out of the Chambers after screening.
Thirdly, for former lawmakers who are nominated as Ministers, they will no longer take a bow and leave. They will only be questioned by the Senate President! Then they can take a bow and go.
Governor Fayose had to key in, knowing that it would be a futile attempt to oppose a strong APC nominee under the watch of majority APC Senators.
This is what none of these PDP leaders would tell their supporters in Rivers State. It's unfortunate that unsuspecting overzealous party members are allowed to wallow in ignorance. Just like some have believed in the invincibility, omnipotence and omniscience of Wike, they have failed to realize that even God who alone has such characters does not obey protocols rather He acts on principles!
The earlier readers realize that even Dino Melaye stuttered in that interview, the earlier they would understand the biblical hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob.
Truly, Change has come, even in the Senate Rules!
A word is enough for the wise.

I don't get it! The nominees must be CONFIRMED by 2 out of 3, the nominee must be IN TOUCH with 2 out of 3. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Senators in Rivers are deceiving illiterates na...

How Did Obanikoro become a minister when all 3 senators opposed him, Wise should just chill biko I don't see how Amaechi as a minister will affect Wike's governance in Rivers State..

Wike Should face governance in Rivers Plssssssss except he's so scared he's not going to perform and might be overthrown by Amaechi and his new found cronies in 2019...

Very funny.. A "microscopic few" cannot stop what majority want. Wike is a local champion. Ameachi is a national champion loved by the north (NE, NW and NC), west and east. Let's see how your Wike will stop him.

Obanikoro use the bow and go been a former member


Amaechi is nt

The handwritting is boldly on the wall that Wike ia paranoia.He knows that Amaechi's emergence as a minister will facilitate his doom.........All his dubious activities would be exposed.Either he likes it or not,the lion of Ubima will become minister and we are going to witness more drama in Rivers State

@Op u no try at all. Amaechi's case is different from fayemi while ekiti is not rivers. Anyway, just as amaechi deployed all strategies and spent all money to fight Wike/GEJ same fate beget him. Let the senate do justice to the petitions on amaechi. I remember how Obadiah a nominee from Taraba was rejected under the seventh senate cos the senators from his state openly opposed him. If same happens to Amaechi Kini big deal!

Koro was a former senator.

Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi,minister of Niger Delta. Period!

Hon Rotimi Ameachi
Hon Rotimi Ameachi
Hon Rotimi Ameachi
I just killed thousands of PD_Pigs with that, hit like if u will like to join me in killing more.

This APC people sef. The same Fayose the thug and Election rigger is now being hailed as the grassroot man. Hypocrites!

I av never seen someone typed so much and make little sense like this Op before......

All I see is gibberish, jagbanjatis, hogwash, bla bla bla

He who laugh last., laugh first

These PDP supporters are going irrational by the day with their incoherent analysis. Op well written. Only a matter of time until the dust get settled. Wike is surely afraid, and no scheme hatch from hell can't stop Amaichi's emergence.

For the avoidance of doubt, the dominance of APC senators and the constitution that clearly spells out how a minister should be endorsed is enough guidance to put an end to the wasteful ventures these PDP vampires are sponsoring.

The truth is that, Amaichi will continue to remain a bad dream that needed to be put off by the PDP, not after the single one man show he displayed that crippled the umbrella party.

I still don't think Fayose knew all these. Am still giving it to him for endorsing Fayemi. Though I don't think anyone can stop Amaechi.

[size=18pt] How did obanikoro became a minister despite the opposition of all 3 APC senators from Lagos?
OK, let wike and his co travellers keep decieving themselves.
Oh I remember it is people decieving people. Pdepigs[/size]

Mumu, you don't even know what position ameachi was appointed to, you are here wailing.....olodo it's minister not Senator
