APC lost because of only one thing, d sentiments of GEJ loss. Majority are still bitter. That bitterness over GEJ loss is d reason rivers people wont Even Vote Apostle Paul as APC candidate but will vote Herod as PDP candidate.

I agree wit u to an extend. But I want to inform u that despite our annoyance, Amaechi caused apc's failure. Almost everybody in my house, friends and even I heard someof the voters saying it open that 19th of March; that Amaechi coming down to insult Jonathan again during the campaign to the rerun and asking us to disgrace Jonathan was a pride took too far. We were so angry with him insulting Jonathan during the campaign to the rerun. Pls tell your apc not to allow Amaechi hold Mic for the Edo state campaign or else, what happenedin Rivers will repeat itself. Pls when last did u hear Oshiomhole insulting Jonathan againor calling his name? the moment u do it, we will vote against u outrightly. Amaechi should have learnt from what happened in Bayelsa when Syva lost because of same Jonathan. They should sell the party to us and not by insulting the man they ganged up to ousted from power because of minority joined with selfish people like Amaechi.
We are indeed angry, but Amaechi killed the party more down the south because of pride and his cancellation of the Nigerian Maritime University was seen as anti Niger Delta

Amaechi the guy who developed his state in education, health, security, infrastructure, Jobs, is the enemy while Jonathan who did nothing and wike who embezzled state funds as local government chairman are their heroes. This generation is the cursed generation. Even if a goat contested under the pdp, rivers people would vote that goat.

Pidggin:
APC will keep losing SS and SE states, whether they like it or not. I wonder why only 5% population is bothering them like this

TonyeBarcanista:

Excuse me gentleman, my problem with Amaexhi has nothing to do with his beef with PEJ/GEJ. It has nothing to do with his defection to APC nor his support for Buhari. It is his fundamental right to align with anyone politically. Don't forget that I was once pro-APC/Buhari.

My problem with Amaechi stem from the fact that he allowed his success of his first term to override his brain. In his second term Amaechi stopped carrying out sensible projects but instead diverted Rivers money to fund APC, he embarked on elephant projects and brought to zero the same reserve that he initiated and got hailed in 2008. Amaechi owed pensioners and shut the judiciary for TWO years. The worse is he still wanted to impose a prefect, Dakuku on Rivers people.

Honestly, No governor has governed Rivers better than Amaechi(2007-2011) and we(Okrikans) will always credit him for his deeds in our land despite the water front issue.

That is what I can't just comprehend even tonyebarcanista with his wealth of knowledge fall into the same category. I believe people should vote for their development not on hatred of two man/party affairs.
I challenge tonyebarcanista to write an epistle of how
1. PDP rule in Rivers state is far better than Ameachi 8 years rules.
2. How Jonathan influence has developed the state?
3. How did Amaechi betray Jonathan and PDP?

olutunde12:



Who are these people for God's sake?
......Amechi rule
........PDP rule
........APC rule.
The so called Amechi's rule is PDP rule(7 years), APC rule( 1 year)

Get little sence ok?
Lagos residents who know what Amechi did in rivers more than river's people..... Fools!

nairaland should provide a space for loving a comment not always like everytime.
I love ur comment.

TheGoodJoe:


I just knew you will blow the Propaganda whistle.

Amaechi stopped performing because GEJ decided his progress should stop. GEJ and PEJ went to war against Amaechi and made his ruling hell.

That was simply why he could not perform as before.

GEJ reduced the states allocation by diverting Rivers Oil Wells. There was no way Amaechi would match his old performance. GEJ had mercenaries in the state to make the Rivers House of Assembly a place of terror.

Remember the repeated cry of the state honorable members for protection.

Unfortunately, people like you never saw anything wrong in GEJ's actions against the Amaechi.

TonyeBarcanista:

Ada wet in? That idiot is only better than Odili, Dieter Spiff, Milford Okilo etc but he's miles below Amaechi (2007-2011). Admittedly, Amaechi 2013-2015 will rank as one of the worst in Rivera history]

Elections in Rivers have always been rigged right from 1999 and everybody knows this. The international observers said so very clearly and the culprits have been the PDP and the stray elements that now find themselves in APC.

What really played out was a rigging contest by erstwhile colleagues with the same strategy in a situation where there was no time to develop new strategies.. This explains the vitriol . The strategy devised by Wike was to ensure enough terror , verbally and physically to keep voters away from the polling booths. This explains the low voter figures. Amechi could not do much as he had no "locus" like a sitting governor.

Any repeat of the process will only produce the same outcome and more casualties.. Rivers is under siege by these politicians.

herbie27:
Are u in Rivers State?.

What do u knw abt Ameachi?. He built infrastructures and stole more dan what he spent on capital project, example of one: monorail.

Ameachi is the Biggest criminal Rivers State has ever produced.

APC never baff well where Rivers people dey.

Even if APC presented a cow as a candidate, Northerners would still vote that cow. Don't be one sided.

The question I ask Rivers people that I haven't been able to get an answer is this

U punish ur son ameachi (that's developed ur
state for 8 years) because Jonathan ur brother from another state ( that didn't nothing for ur state in 6 years)

Now who is the bigger bitrayer... Rivers people or ameachi

ddippset:
Nonsense. People would tell you 'we don't like amaechi'. Then you ask why? They tell you he is stubborn and he doesn't respect elders. Nobody would tell you he is not a performer, an achiever or a workaholic. You only hear crap like 'he doesn't respect elders' cursed generation! And o yes if chidi lloyd should be in jail then people like ateke tom, solomon ndigbara, Félix obuah, even wike should be hanged already.
