The General Manager, Public Affairs, NCAA, Mr. Fan Ndubuoke, told our correspondent on Thursday that the aircraft belonged to a private firm, contrary to claims by the Rivers State Government that it owned the controversial plane.

He said, “The document we have does not show Rivers State Government as the owner of the aircraft. The registration is saying that the plane is owned by a company and not Rivers. So it is you people that will ask Amaechi how he came in contact with the aircraft. What is his relationship with the owner of the aircraft? That is his own business and I cannot answer that question for him.

One thing is clear here. Amechi's hand is not clean. Nyesom Nwike was Amechi strong man when he had to run to Ghana when Omeha wanted to kill him.Soo he knows Amechi's secrete. Things having gone sour 4 both of them Nwike is now digging up dirts using his loyal boys at Amechis govt to nail him. I feel pity for Amechi cuz he might not finish his tenure. D heat is going north.

These guys should put more resources to stop this killings by Boko Haram... And our sluggish President being loyal to their Chieftains.

wetin sexskillz and mclatunji do okija-juju sef?

emmysenior: Is he being probed for being disloyal or because he stole and mis- appropriated funds?

In this case both are regarded as offence. If Ameachi feels unsatisfied the ways of pdp or jona, he should just decamp to APC openly and declare this publicly. By that he will not be taken as a disloyal individual but where he stays in pdp and measure hight with oga, then it is disloyal. Secondly there is a clear
misappropriation of state fund he is expected to give through account.
Am so happy over this gradual going downward of this arrogant and highly proud Ameachi.

antiembezzle: you coacoa brain dimwits, so corruption is no more a crime and public funds should be freely embezzled by public office holders, especially when they are pro apc. Your hypocrisy sure speak louder than you think, FOOLS!

Fish head,do you read my comment at all,or do you have problem with reading?

Toktee: Fish head,do you read my comment at all,or do you have problem with reading?

LOL, Em get phobia for reading

blink182: Amaechi probably N700bn somewhere that makes him bold but he should be very careful so he doesn't end like ibori.

Thank you. You sound matured. Have You lived with proud persons before? Ameachi is just the hight of a very proud individual. God dislikes or go against a proud persons. Just go near him (Ameachi), take time to explain to him why he should either leave pdp openly before planing other options, he will not listen to you. Why? Because of pride and when such persons are in money.
Now place pastor Bakare and Ameachi side by side. It is on record that Amaech insults jona and his wife beyond politics even more than Bakare, especially before and after the elections. Ameachi should be dealt severely. Am sure people will know jona shortly.

Garri water no be apple juice

Tigerhead: Very good, Amaechi should be probed. Guy is a disloyal upstart.

some people just come on nairaland with the sole aim of displaying their high level of stupidity

ibnzubair: Garri water no be apple juice

which one better pass.

I talk am say this K-leg governor go soon enter problem with the way him dey shoot him mouth everywhere. Una dey see all the katakata now...Which kind wahala be this?

Oh lord, heal our land!

Goodluck and his cohorts shld be probed also. Anyway, they can probe but he can't be arraigned b4 the court. The big boy has got immunity men!

Hate him or like him,i have a message for you that ur paymaster Jonathan will not succeed,he won his electiom thru court cos the likes of ur oldman and Jonathan do not wante him to be there,today he iz there against the consent of pdp and jonathan iz demanding royalty from him for what?
All these talk about probing ameachi actually make me laugh,can he (Jonathan) ask efcc to go after mr tony anenih to explain to nigerians where he kept the money he stole,patient to explain the source of dollars mr nuhu ribadu caught her at the airport trying to smuggle it abroad,bode george is still a free man,where is the man in charge of pension that Jonathan insist that he should not be arrested.
Retar.d,i want to let you know that in pdp if you are royal,you can get away with everything,lets waith and see wether your pay master can win thiz battle.

dridowu: No weapon fashion against my guy (amechi) shall prosper

Even if he is a thief and Riverians are in abject poverty?

NO MIND AMAECHI, HE MAY THINK HE IS SMART NOW BUT BRO JONA WILL EVENTUALLY GET HIM.

Thunder don fire am... Water front destroyer, what have you done there you went and buy a plane with people's money

emmysenior: Is he being probed for being disloyal or because he stole and mis- appropriated funds?

Ask them... Gej haters. If you are not in rivers state nus shut up and sit down

Tigerhead: Very good, Amaechi should be probed. Guy is a disloyal upstart.

SECONDED

Okija_juju: And people say Jonathan is a dullard..


Amaechi, you have started a war I so hope to God you can fight..

..... So ameachi no fear to challemge my president...hmmm i dey laugh am. Silva tins.

The moment Rotimi opens his big mouth to tell the press that he is not subscribing to the president's transformation agenda I knew he had gone mad with pride and stupidity. For goodness sake the PDP is a team and GEJ( like him or hate him) is the leader of that team, and Ameachi must be a team player whether he like it or not or honourably leave the PDP. Until the death of late president Yaradua, which governor told him he is not part of the 7 point agenda? Even the eloquent Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is far better than Ameachi as far as being in a team is concerned he was asked during the fuel subsidy problems if he support the government he answered on the affirmative, stating that he would have since resign from government, had he disagreed with the policy. That is a team player.

so the waterfront wahala is your headache?you rivers ijaw will never cease to amaze me. what you want is to be left alone in that dirty unhygienic environment because them born una born water abi?

Govnr Aliyu babangida will be d next to hit.
He is no more royal to Oga at d top!

Uncle jona,because of 2015,that you dont even knw what is going to happen in secs to come,u are power thirsty,Think twice o bcs pasan ti a fi na iyaale n be ni aja fun iyawo o(d cane we used to beat first wife is still very much available at the roof top for d new bride)

Amaechi's high-handedness especially in Rivers State has been very reckless. This is a man who sacked an LGA chairman for hosting patie umblerra without his consent..flaunts his arrogance even to elders and churches in the state. I am really shocked he's still got sympathizers, this is someone who doesn't want sub ordinates to challenge him at all..yet he's challenging the PRESIDENCY? The height of impunity..dullard or not, I don't think He Amaechi would have tried this with another president. The issue of corruption or witch hunting should not even come up here because Ameachi is a bonafide culprit in that department

slap1
Timiboy, reconcile with Bro J and the 'missing' money will be 'found'. Even the EFCC will deny ever probbing you.

Just like the EFCC did their abracadaba and later denied TWICE catching Patience Jonathan with looted Bayelsa funds when Jonah was Governor.

Hmmmn now the intrigue is unfolding! I knew there was a hidden dragon behind these issue.
So state exec. and rich nigerians do not register their airplanes in Nigeria! what a loss of revenue to the country, these is just too shameful, yet they pay lip service to national development.
How will favourable climate for aviation development occur in Nigeria when its citizens/government do not trust in their country enough to invest in it?
Imagine Rivers state government registering an aircraft that carries its state Number one citizen bearing the registration licence of the state of UTAH! and generating huge revenue to UTAH,USA.
A STATE IN THE US POPULATED BY MORMONS(CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS), where until a few years ago the church doctrine was that the likes of Amechi and all the citizens of rivers state + all black people were considered subhuman and therefore incapable of being members of their church and by extension the state they occupy.
I weep for Nigeria.

Leadership is still a major issue in this country.When elected official are not patriotic and will willingly debase their country by registering a state owned aircraft as foreign and by extension contributing to the economy of a foreign state while their own economy/people are in poverty, just for the convenience of ease of travel!
If the government is so unpatriotic what then is expected of its citizens.
Yet the person perpertuating this policy is one viewed as a likely vice presidential candidate for Nigeria.
Its time we as Nigerians start to look at policies of politicians when they clamor for positions rather than their ethnicity , and regional affinity if the country must move forward.
Folks Like Amaechi should be very toxic in nigerian political arena not for his opposition to the presidency which i see as his right for free speech and right of association, and independent thought which he is entitled by the constitution, but for his unpatriotic stance to his country.
This same governor was the one that during the NGGTour in rivers state, It was reveled that Some of his teachers complained that Although he built great primary/secondary school in the state,but the management of the schools has been outsourced to Indians. where he pays the Indians more money than nigerian teachers with the same qualifications.
Which country outsources the education of its citizen to foreigners? Any developing nation that seeks advancement must invest in the education of its citizen case in point Singapore with no natural resources but has forged ahead into and advanced economy simply by raising the level of education of its citizen.
While Gov. Ameachi must be commended for his investment in educational infrastructure, he needs to do more in the aspect of training his educational staff up to the standard that will befit the kind of school he has in mind for rivers state. Not outsourcing school mgt. as that model will not be sustainable after his administration.But rather a gradual training of teachers/administrators/technicians sourced from rivers state with teeming population of unemployed graduate who will jump at such opportunity will be a more sustainable model.
Until the above is done, governor amaechi will still be perceived by many as an unpatriotic nigerian citizen and rightly so for his willingness to waste the commonwealth of rivers state on foreigners/improve the economy of nations far advanced than ours that does not require such help from rivers state.
My intent on writing this piece is not to vilify the governor but to offer a constructive critique. I must add that i admire the governor for his independent thought and investment in education and healthcare. I love the kind of schools he is building in RS.

Oga i gree with you 100% that is why we are saying that all this money flying in the air should have been used on land to develop the water fronts. Which one has he developed? If u chase a man from his house( even if na carton where would he stay? Do you know that the compensation given to some people for their destroyed houses would not be enough to pay the rent for that same house for 5 years? Abeg if i done lie make una tell me.
