those are the folks they are telling us are humble.
Arrogant clowns who have found themselves in positions they are not qualified for and unable to contain their excitement.

Abagworo:

Jonathan ad Amaechi. This fight has a long history and could be traced back to when Jonathan's wife dragged mic from Amaechi publicly and scolded him for building a school. In her community.

If it were Obasanjo, Amaechi wouldn't have had issues at all because Obasanjo was a strong leader and understood mutual respect. He would have successfully done that without crisis. Nigeria today is on a threshold and it only requires killing of few pro-Amaechi or pro-GEJ politicians for a war to start or military take over the least.

I know you are a staunch Amaechi buttlicker, but please present facts the way they are. This is a fight between Wike and Amaechi, don't rope GEJ into this local fight. Let Amaechi finish what he started.

The Rivers State House of Assembly complex today broke into chaos and staff fled as members fought and exchanged blows as a group of law makers impeached the speaker Rt.Hon. Otelemaba Dan Amachree and installed Hon. Evans Bipi representing Ogu/Bolo constituency as speaker. A group is also thought to have attempted to collect the mace of the assembly while some staff who fled told reporters that Governor Ameachi himself stormed the chambers and took away the mace. Some of the Governor’s cars were destroyed and there were injuries .
However,in an attempt to put a lid on the situation, Leader of the house, chidi Lloyd called reporters to say that their was no impeachment but could not explain the heavy security and the broken stones and bottles littering the complex.
An eye witness who called reporters365.com had this to say:
“It was a free-for-all fight at the assembly today
Members started walking in to the chambers at 9 am this morning with the
Speaker walking in at about 9:50am to commence sitting
“WEY VOKOR”! were the speaker’s first words calling Hon Victor Ihunwo by his alais.
“Oga leave me abeg” Hon Victor replied”
“So Vokor even you!” the Speaker asked Hon. Victor.
At that point Hon.M.O Chinda walked in..
“THE CHF JUDGE” House majority leader hailed him.
I will not give or take any hand shake” M.O Chinda responded.
The speaker teased him and said ” are we not brothers again?
“WE ARE NOT BROTHERS, Hon. M.O chinda retorted.
since YOU PEOPLe DECIDEd TO TAKE FOOD OUT OF MY EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
The war of words continued until Hon Evans came in.
Immediately he came in, Hon. Chidi Lloyd shouted OPU-OWU be[meaning big masquerade in Okrika language]
At this point the connection to the public address system in the chambers was cut.
At this point the Speaker told Evans “Alabo me Bleep-up me” [a vulgar speech meaning chief you messed up in okrika language]
The house leader also said the same thing to Hon. Evans which made him angry. He told the house leader Hon. Chidi Lloyd”If i take insults from Mr.speaker ,I wont take it from you Chidi”
Hon Chidi repeated the same vulgar statement moving menacingly towards Hon. Evans at which point Hon. Evans took the camera tripod on the floor of the house and flogged the hell out of Hon. Chidi
Hon. Azubike left his seat and grabbed Hon. Evans .Both started fighting
When Hon. Evans over powered both men, the house leader picked the mace and broke Hon. Chinda’s head with it.Hon. Chinda is a supporter of Hon. Evans.
A call was put through to the Governor by one of the pro-Amaechi Governors to the effect that the war was being lost to Evans and his group.He arrived shortly.The Governor met a free -for- all fight in which his followers were badly bruised and he
took the Speaker, Azubike, Leader and the Clerk of the house away
20 mins later Hon Evans and some members of the House appointed Hon. Victor Ihunwo as speaker pro tempore and impeached the speaker and left.
An hour later the Deputy Governor of the state Tele Ikuru led the speaker and 10 members into the chambers from Government house . They sat and quickly adjourned.”
We will bring you more details as they unfold.

http://famouspeoplenews./2013/06/04/ateke-tom-at-war-with-gov-amaechi/

Former warlord – ex-leader of the Niger Delta Vigilance Movement,  Ateke Tom recently  led many protesters on the streets of Port Harcourt ,the Rivers State capital, asking Governor Rotimi Amaechi to resign. Though the protesters however claimed they were not sponsored, sources in the state are presently pointing fingers at the 1st Lady of Nigeria, Mrs. Jonathan, as the brain behind the sponsorship of the protest. Tom Ateke is said to have been aided by the first lady who will be delighted obviously if Amaechi is schemed out the office in the present plot against him. This is a result of the feud between Gov Amaechi and the Jonathans. It’s no longer secret that the first Lady is a not in good terms with the incumbent governor whom she had heated exchanged with on several occasions. The popular amongst their numerous fights was when the 1st Lady forcefully collected microphone from Amaechi. It was at Okrika, Mrs. Jonathan’s hometown, at public function where Amaechi   was a special guest of honour. Governor Amaechi who in his address  was listing some of the good things his government had done to the Okraka community. Gov Amaechi who visited Okrika, told the people of Okrika point-blank, that he would unfailingly demolish the waterfronts, rebuild it and sell to prospective buyers knowing the sensitivity to the issue of the demolition of the waterfronts to the Okrika people

phantom: o boy no be today o!!!!

REVOLUTNIS: Amechi is a very poor and reckless political strategist. Now, what point does he want to prove by contesting for NGF election? What point has he proved? He continue to play the fool by thinking that Jonathan and his promoters would allow him (Amechi) to rub their faces in dirt. SHAME ON HIM

The wedding witnessed the attendance of political bigwigs in the country, including, Former Governors of Rivers State, Sir Rufus Ada-George, Dr. Peter Odili and his wife, Chief judge Mary Odili, Senator George Sekibo, Barr. Nyesom Wike, Hon. Austine Okpara, Dr. Abiye Sekibo, Sir. Celestine Omeiha, Timi Alaibe, Kenneth Kobani, Alabo T.O. Douglas, NDDC boss, Hon. Chibudom Nwuche, Rivers State PDP Chairman, Chief Felix Obuah.

Others include the Wives of all the South-South Governors, excluding Judith Amaechi.

In recent times, political observers have blamed the President’s wife, Patience Jonathan for orchestrating the political crisis in Rivers state. An allegation which the presidency has continuously refuted.

Symphony007: HOW RIVERS STATE SPEAKER RT. HON. DAN AMACHREE WAS IMPEACHED

The Rivers State lawmakers have impeached the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly Rt Hon Dan Amachree . A new Speaker Hon Evans Bipi has been elected .However, the Speaker Dan Amacree denied on phone that he has been impeached .We gathered that immediately the speakers was impeached the Assembly complex broke into choas and staff fled as members fought and blows were exchanged.

A group also attempted to collect the mace of the assembly while some staffs who fled claim Gov Ameachi himself stormed the house and took the mace. In an attempt to put a lid on the situation ,Leader of the house, Chidi Lyod has said via call that there was no impeachment but that there is heavy security at the complex, staffs have fled.

Memwhile the Rivers State Commissioner of Information, Mrs Ibim Seminitari has called on channels TV to give the governors side of the story on the issue. She claimed that while the house was about to begin it’s sitting and the speaker was exchanging pleasantries with other members, the leader of the Pro GEJ lawmakers, Evans frustrated with their inability to Impeach the governor walked up to him and started slapping him, to which the speaker fought back and a massive fight erupted in the chamber between Pro Ameachi and Pro GEJ lawmakers. And then some hoodlums hired by the Pro GEJ group according to her jumped in from the gallery and joined the fight attempting to collect the mace.

Upon hearing this from the government house which is a few blocks away from the assembly, the governour set off in his motorcade to the assembly with his security and when he arrived the fight intensified with Pro GEJ lawmakers throwing things at the governor. Cars were destroyed, their were injuries on both side. The commissioner said a full statement will be released on the incident.

mascott:


Not very regular here but the bolded comment sounds childish.

AWKA_MADE_GUN: Amaechi should stop all these rubbish. His desperation is getting out of hand. Well am going to PH tomorrow, we will get to the root of all these madness. If he wants to decamp, he should do so without a fight. As for any SE governor on the same train with Amaechi, he is finished politically.

There is every indication that he is gonna end up in jail, alot of misappropriation and misapplication of funds in Rivers state.

Oga@TheTop:
Sey your source na Maggi Cube, salt or na palm oyel? A picture of the brouhaha could still serve as source.. so try and get pix abeg.

slimming: It is unlawful for the Governor to do that.

Care to explain why Saint Amaechi is also not in good terms with all these people? Oh, i forgot, they are all pro-Jonathan. SMH

ssii:
Amaechi does not have any issues with all the people you have listed, the fact that they attended the wedding of Evans Bipi does not mean that they have problems with Amaechi. Besides not everybody would like a person, just as not everyone in PDP agrees with GEJ. For most of these people, they are former political holders who have just found an ally in Wike, people who hate the focused leadership of Amaechi and wants him to share Rivers money for them. Chibudom and Opara are former political office holders who do not want to do any other work than eating from politics, they want Amaechi to share Rivers money for them but Amaechi would not. Opara had contested with Amaechi in the PDP primaries, Chibudom lost in the PDP senatorial primaries.
Don't be deceived, Peter Odili does not have any problems with Amaechi, he is Amaechi's mentor and despite the issues they had when Amaechi was denied his ticket, they have always maintained a cordial relationship. Abiye Sekibo contested under ACN, lost the elections. He is suddenly a PDP man now because he feels he has axe to grind with Amaechi.
Wike clearly wants to be governor, Amaechi has told him it won't be possible because they are from the same tribe. Wike wants to make sure Amaechi is out so that he can easily become governor of Rivers state.
Omehia is still angry that he was removed by the supreme court, he contested again under APGA and lost. Right now he is so broke. These men are yesterday's men who are still waiting to share from the national cake instead of looking for something else to do.
What you should ask is why are 27 out of 32 assembly members behind Amaechi despite all the threats and enticement. How come all the Rivers house of representative members solidly behind Amaechi and 2 out of 3 senators supporting him. Only losers and those with ulterior motives, who do not have the interest of Rivers at heart are fighting Amaechi.
