Present Your 19 Governors, Presidential Aide Dares Amaechi by bcomputer101: 6:06am On Nov 20, 2013 |
Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, on Tuesday dared Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State to present the 19 governors he claimed re-elected him as the chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum. In his reaction to an earlier interview Gulak granted The PUNCH in which he said the Presidency identified Governor Jonah Jang as the NGF chairman, Amaechi had on Monday said he was re-elected by 19 governors against the 16 who voted for Jang. “It is a known fact that in the election for chairman of NGF held on May 24, Governor Amaechi got the mandate of the majority of his colleague-governors to continue to serve as their chairman when 19 governors voted for him as against 16 that voted for Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang. We know that 19 is always greater than 16,” Amaechi’s spokesman, David Iyofor, had written. But Gulak insisted on Tuesday that Jang remained the chairman of the NGF recognised by the Presidency. While faulting Amaechi’s claim that his re-election was accepted by majority of the governors, the presidential aide asked the governor to present the 19 governors who voted for him. He said the poor attendance recorded during the retreat the Rivers State governor organised in Sokoto on Saturday was a clear sign of the non-acceptability of his leadership by his colleagues. “If Governor Amaechi is claiming that 19 governors re- elected him as the chairman of the NGF, let him present the 19 governors. You are aware of the poor attendance at the retreat he organised in Sokoto. That was a sign that he is not the leader of the forum,” Gulak said. On the statement that he was misleading the President, Gulak said, “If I am misleading the President, who is leading him (Amaechi)?” He insisted that the seven aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party governors were being led by their personal ambitions and not national interest. Gulak said the earlier they embraced peace and settled down to work for the citizens of their states who elected them, the better for them.

The most silly thing I've read in a democracy It's an open secret ballot that was captured on camera Can this idiotic aide present to us all the voters that elected GEJ into office? If he can't, he should just STFU 1 Like |

Foolish man is this presidential aide. Its like us asking Jonathan to present the millions that voted for him in his election and buhari should also present his own millions. That 19 govs didnt show up for his meeting doesn't suggest or nullify the election proper. Udaughan was the returning officer and so far he hasnt denied the fact that on election day, 19 voted Amaechi. |

Demdem, you're right: Asking Rotimi Amaechi to present the 19 governors that voted for him like asking Goodluck Jonathan to present the millions that voted for him. If this is done, Jonathan won't even get up to a fraction. If this were a developed country the electorate would have approached INEC to coduct a recall on the President. |

Orlando Owoh: Demdem, you're right: Asking Rotimi Amaechi to present the 19 governors that voted for him like asking Goodluck Jonathan to present the millions that voted for him. If this is done, Jonathan won't even get up to a fraction. If this were a developed country the electorate would have approached INEC to coduct a recall on the President. In addition, its possible that all those that voted for him then currently dont support him now. Some voted Jonathan then but now dont support him again but it doesnt in anyway nullify their votes in 2011. That will stand till the next election. The same is applicable to Amaechi. That a Gov who voted for him then do not support him now doesnt nullify the votes during the election proper. Elections held and a winner emerged which was Amaechi. case closed. They all should wait till his tenure expires. Simple. 1 Like |

I beg not to comment because they are only Presidential Aides, who can never stand on their own and say or do anything like Amaechi, people like them will only live and die sycophants like Anenih, Jerry Gana, Ojo Maduekwe etc enjoying the pay back for their sycophancy as they remain AGIP. Please Sir Governor Amaechi, send your aides too to reply them because they are not worth your time. |

For God's sake what calibre of lowlifes do we have in Aso The highest authority on the land and dropped down to tittling-tattlling with a troubled state Governor. Everytime you turn around they are exchanging assaults and insults with a Governor or with opposition. This is the kind of regime one gets when Ibos are the pillars of the ruling administration, less ruling and constant ego flexing. Oh my God!! |

I love Nigeria politics, u will surely c smtin to discuss abt. If d NGF election video that i watched is d real video of NGF election , dn Amechi is the authetic chairman of NGF. Gulak can also produce video that produce Jonah Jang as NGF so that we can all call Amechi liars |

Does this nitwit really know politics?? If yes, why would he be asking Amaechi to present the 19 Govs that voted him in. Is it not visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Amaechi won the Election?? Only in Jonathan administration, 16 people would be considered more than 19 people. |

The previously All-powerful Governors Forum has been divided and Weakened. That was the main (Strategic) plan all along; and has worked Perfectly. It's outcome is good for the President, and for our Democracy. The Governors Forum was constituting itself into d single Most Powerful body/institution in the country, and frankly, d final arbiter for National and sub-National, including political, decision making; all d more dangerous, seeing that it is an extra-Constitutional body!! It had tried to capture Power from the last 3 Presidents, controlling and financing Party apparachik across the country and basically picking the President and Vice from itself since 2007. Kudos to GEJ for reducing them to size...... Now, to d far less important issue of Ameachi Vs Jang: Ameachi shld continue to hold his meetings with his co-travellers; same as Jang. Any one of them that can gather a greater No of Govs at a time, good for that person. E no concern me. In fact, may confusion continue to be in their midst for d forseeable future. AMIN. 5 Likes |

Demdem:Clap for urself. In ur quest to support anything Anti-GEJ, is obvious you can go to any length to disprove truth. He called for his gov's, yet could not command d prescence of even 10 and here you are demonstrating ur crass ignorance and stark dumbness with this false and cheap so called analysis.

NGF is not a political organisation and should never be compared or adjudged as such. A social partnership where every member knows each other by name, face and ethnic background should not be shredded in secrecy. If an election involving 35 able men is being disputed, they should call for vote of confidence for both acclaimed Chairmen using option A4 to settle this impasse. |

Amaechi doesn't have 19 governors under his control which makes him just a factional leader. The Jang camp even has more regular attendance than the Amaechi camp. Moreover, Good riddance to the rubbish called the Nigerian Governors Forum. 7 Likes |

ozolity: Amechi over to u. Where re the 19? One APC governor did not even attend that meeting and did not vote. How did Ameachi get 19 govs voting for him that he has been unable to call out for a meeting? The much publicized Sokoto retreat was dominated by Deputy govs and still less than 13 states were represented. 2 Likes |

geeez: The most silly thing I've read in a democracy Geez! After all these long years of e-tomfoolery, your case seems to be getting worse. Your level of intelligence is evident in your comparison of a small peer-review forum election involving a mere 36 persons to a national election involving millions of people. It is laughable how you clowns always try to be clever by half. Open secret ballot or not, since a dispute arose after the election, how else should the dispute be settled once and for all if not by Amaechi reaching out to the governors to identify the 19 that voted for him? In spite of the so-called open secret ballot, the 19 governors that purportedly voted for Amaechi would be bold enough to tell him afterwards that they voted for him, and they should also be bold enough to identify themselves in the open. This is a simple and quick way to end the imbroglio once and for all, instead of hiding behind the vacuous excuse of "open secret ballot"; why dilly-dally? 4 Likes |

99/100: U aren't making sense at all. That govs didn't come for meeting has nothing to do with the NGF election that held and Amaechi won. If some of those that voted for him then no longer want him, good but it hasn't nullify that election. He remains the NGF chair till another is done. That is the way it ought to be done. |

Ngwakwe: NGF is not a political organisation and should never be compared or adjudged as such. Deeperlifer, who was the returning officer (gov) of this election and was there any objections from him when counting was ongoing? Refer to the video that all has been able to authenticate to be true. |

pro01: How dumb? To start with the election was recorded so there's no basis for any controversy Also adjudging from your silly assertion, are you saying INEC should bring in each and every voter at election tribunals to identify who they actually voted for? You and everyone that liked your post are the reason why Nigeria's average IQ is less than 70 |
Re: Present Your 19 Governors, Presidential Aide Dares Amaechi by Nobody: 1:12pm On Nov 20, 2013 |
geeez: Mr Man, stop embarrassing yourself (even though you can't help it). You mentioned "open secret ballot" earlier, and now you are talking about a video recording of the voting process. Does the so-called recording show the voting pattern of each of the governors? If yes (in spite of the ballot), then why is it difficult to identify the 19 that voted for your Amaechi? If no, then what exactly is your point? Your subnormal IQ is evident in the vacuity of your posts. . . . .clearly less than the national average. I'm sure you would find your fellow lower-than-national-average IQ APC goons to like your post in their hundreds, since you seem obsessed with the idea. 1 Like |

What a very dumb demand. How can a presidential aide make this kind of demand Asso Rock is really filled with clowns(excluding GEJ and few others). I'm a fan of GEJ but on this issue, I'm not with him. With the video I watched, Amaechi is the chairman of NGF. #Take it or die leaving it# |
