:oWhy is okukpe afraid, are they planning to rig 2015 election? They should not rig n think dat ppl will go to court to seek redress, when its obvious dat d president is d one controlling d juudiciary, d police d sss d army n d inec. And they should stop saying dat ameachi is a benefitiary of d court judgement, wit d way things are going in dis country, if it was to b under GEJ administration, ameachi will never av won dat case. Under GEJ administration, minority is d majority. 16 > 19. In ekiti, 7 > 21

Inasmuch as I don't subscribe to election rigging, civil disobedience is never a decent way to reclaim mandate. The government, inec and police must do all they can to ensure a free, fair and credible election so as to avoid breakdown of law and order.
So even a mere e-campaigner has more sense than a whole Governor. SMH

APC will never win a free and fair election because they have not distinguish themselves from PDP. majority of thier leaders are PDP reject. They do not have a a Presidential candidate in place less than 3 months before the election. No manifesto. All they are trying for is to get the presidency by hook or crook.

As for Amaechi, he always talk before he thinks hiding behind Governors immunity. He would run away come January because by February he will be in prison. Ask yourself, why did he shipped his family abroad asking other people children to fight for him to get richer?

Presidency Thursday declared the utterances of the Rivers state governor, Chibuike Amaechi, that should the All Progressive Congress (APC) lose the 2015 general election, the party would resort to civil disobedience as incitement, treason and gross rascality.Addressing news men on the outcome on the APC Salvation Rally, the Senior Special Assistant to President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said, "Mr. Amaechi who became Governor of Rivers State in 2007 consequent upon a court judgment, said at a street rally organized by the All Progressive Congress that if the 2015 elections are ‘rigged’, his party will not seek redress in court but would rather carry out what he called ‘civil disobedience’ as well as form a parallel government”.

According to the President's aide, "This statement is clearly a further evidence of Governor Amaechi’s penchant for lawlessness and anarchy in his unbridled pursuit for power. It is curious and unthinkable that a man who was himself a beneficiary of the court process would disdain the very platform through which he acquired the opportunity to make his reckless and provocative statement.

"It is even more worrisome when one considers the fact that Governor Amaechi’s party, which is relatively new, came on board promising hope to Nigerians. With statements like this it is clear that Amaechi is more of a liability to his party than an asset and has the potential to bring his party to further opprobrium and disrepute. For someone who aspires to become the Vice President of this country, his disdain for law and order is not only unfortunate but also patently dangerous and sends dark signals about the survival of our democracy.”

Highly treasonable and shouldn't be taken lightly like the last time Buhari said something like this and the Boko boys were unleashed on us. In fact Amaechi should be arrested for such irresponsible statements.
why has the government refused to take Buhari to court if they feel he has a hand in boko. It would make all this easier.

And who is Asari Dokubo undecided this is a sitting governor we are talking about. People should not let sentiments cloud their sense of judgement.
Shut up your mouth there, what do you mean by who is Asari Dokubo?, Asari is a millitant who can gather thousands other millitants and create problem for the whole country.

Who should be taken seriously, Dokubo a millitant or Amaechi, a common civilian who rely on Police and Soldiers which GEJ is the grand commander?

Unfortunately, these are the guys seen to be progressive by the new crop of young Nigerians.

If I recall, a certain Asari Dokubo, an ex-militant, threatened Nigeria with war if GEJ doesn't win elections come 2015.
I also recall NOBODY called for his arrest or ascribed his threats as treason till date. Doyin Okupe and his master apparently suffer from Selective Amnesia grin

forming a parallel government is a treason.

Exactly. True. Very correct on that.

But 'if election is rigged, we will form a parallel government' is not a treasonable offence.

Infact, nothing he said is an offence. If it were, they would have made a move on him by now.

The word 'forming' means present continous while if puts the whole sentence in future.

Can you arrest someone for future treason?

it is not the party to decide if the election was rigged.we all know how long it takes the judiciary to settle election cases in nigeria even when there are proofs....
