wasiudvd: I do not know how many lawmakers thery have in river's house, but according to the news "5 pro JEG lawmakers vs 23 pro Ameachi lawmakers". So how can there be impeachment?
Didn't you follow the NGF saga? the less the number (and with GEJ's backing) the more voice/vote you have.

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.

Please explain wut U mean by Amaechi shoudl finish wut he started?

I'm trying to refrain from calling you an ignoramus so please explain.

Or wait, was it Wike fighting Amaechi over NGF? Oh! That's true, Wike is now an NGF member right? He's governor of Okrika land. . . Tssshhhhwwww

As for those talking about humility, it might interest you to know that our once dear lowly Jonathan is now an arrogant scum with excess wings.

Even if you claim he's not arrogant and his wife is responsible for her own actions, isn't he man enough to put her under control?

Loooong time ago, this woman berated Amaechi in Public! She even snatched micro-phone from him!

Billionaires: One thing is certain, Rivers State House will never be the same again and Amaechi has gotten to a point of no return. He cant win this fight as far as he moved to the Legislative assembly to intervene in the scuffles of Legislatures cos of quest for self-preservation.
You can't be so sure of that. Amaechi is also fighting to protect his position. For goodness sake why would 5 lawmakers attempt to impeach the speaker and maybe the governor. GEJ, Wike and PEJ should leave Rivers state alone. They have been distracting our governor, now they want to cause mayhem, they would not succeed.

FYI, Timi Alaibe, the NDDC chairman, and Ada George do not have any problems with Amaechi. Kenneth Kobani is in ACN, he is an ally of Abiye Sekibo.

Why did Sekibo leave ACN? because of Tinubu's romance with Amaechi. So WTF are you saying my dear?
Re: Rivers' Speaker Impeached, Amaechi Storms Assembly As Fight Erupts? by henroe2k2(m): 5:36pm On Jul 09, 2013
I love the political doggedness of Amaechi. But, for his timely intenvention, the Mace would have gone into the hands of the pro-janathans. And that would hv been an outright impeachment for Amaechi by rivers state house of assembly. If that had happend he would have been counting his losses by now.
He was wise to have taken the mace to government house.
I guess GEJ would be speechless nw.
Lets see the next move from Gej nw that symbol of the authority of the house is with amaechi.

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

Thank you jare. People should say the truth for goodness sake. Those militants were actually paid ten thousand naira each, they were cooked for. The police commissioner provided protection for them while they blocked the government house.

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.

Why did Sekibo leave ACN? because of Tinubu's romance with Amaechi. So WTF are you saying my dear?
Whatever the reason Sekibo left ACN is not the issue here, or are you saying Sekibo's problem with Amaechi is because Amaechis is romancing with Tinubu, would 'nt he rather be happy if the governor wants to join his party? Sekibo wants to be governor, Omehia wants to be governor, Wike wants to be governor, Opara wants to be governor. They should all wait till 2015 before they start fighting over themselves. For goodness sake, Mr Slimghost, as we used to say when we are children, say the truth and let the devil shame. What has Amaechi done to warrant impeachment? Is it lawful for 5 out 32 assembly members to impeach a speaker or the governor. If the other assembly members say we see no reason why Amaechi should be impeached, why is PEJ,GEJ and Wike still insisting he should be impeached? Are they the ones that voted him in? Has Amaechi not performed more than most PDP governors? Is it not right to call them enemies of the state?

Bunch of bullocks. That you are an Amaechi buttlicker dose not mean you should come here and embarrass yourself. I wouldn't want to indulge in a senseless back and forth argument with you but its a known FACT that Amaechi is not in good terms with all those people i listed. You can continue making up childish and laughable excuses for him but he really needs to check himself.

My guy, reason a little, he did not say they are in a romance with Amaechi, he has only listed reasons he believes they could be against Amaechi.

The reason is because of his attitude. Amaechi sees himself as a demi-god in Rivers and most of these people find it difficult to have a good relationship with him. He is proud, arrogant and self centered. How can one man be fighting almost all the political heavy-weights in Rivers state? haba!!! Something is wrong with the man.

Everyone thought it was going to work keeping Wike at Abuja that was why for the first time Rivers people never protested that governor and minister from same tribe. Wike was instrumental to Amaechi victory but was also a burden to him. He ensures that the governor sign cheques, etc even if He met him on the road- no protocols at all. Wike is a grass root mobilizer and evil at heart but Amaechi attitude contributed to all this wahala. W[b]ith less talk and more good projects [/b]every rivers man would have willingly stood to fight for him .
Meanwhile, the anti- Amaechi group are already drinking and jubilating at todays drama as I write.
Be sincere to yourself, Amaechi has done well, in the area of roads, education, health, youth empowerment, employment etc. I make bold to say, I don't know of any other Rivers governor that has done these much. Do you know how much unemployment has reduced in Rivers state? Do you know how many Rivers youths are outside the contry for undergraduate and postgraduate studies? Do you know how many Rivers youths are in private companies gaining experience for 2 years while being paid stipend by the govt so that they can gain experience to apply for jobs. No governor has employed doctors and teachers like Amaechi has done. A good number of the roads have been recoated, dualised or being worked upon presently. There is virtually no community that has received a project, including that of the first lady and Evans.
They can jubilate and get drunk but they did not succeed and will never suceed in their bid to destabilise this state. Wike can NEVER be governor of Rivers state, no matter how hard he tries.
