Try to understand me,I am no fan of pdp either though who I vote is my choice but how can you compare Obj/Tinubu and his case.Lag had their funds held,Rivers had their money with igr to them,aside instances where fg refused to countersign any foreign funding like the water project for God knows why we are the Treasure Base,we dont deserve this. You always cite corruption at FG,how about Rivers and the lgas.I cited the furniture case,deny it didnt happen.
Pls dnt debate with me on Education reforms,I can seat him down and tell him how he scored less than 25.I Really wish he had more focus,what stopped the greater ph,why is their so much traffic and dirt,we have companies running in the states who can absorb our graduates,check Akwa Ibom list whenever Mobil recruits.Even galley hands at Kitchens abroad oil sites earn well instead our oil companies are taking graduates as roustabouts.
Imagine the energy with which he fights FG,if he dedicated it to work for Rivers people.
Cross River also lost oil wells to Akwa Ibom,the governor didnt raise hell's gate.
How did the issue start,what was the government's plan for relocation or compensation on water front demolition.Even in Abuja indegiens were compensated who didnt have anyone,how could he not consult properly and reassure the people.I guess thats why some villages have no drinking water for water pollution and we have commisioners for environment.
I give it to him for what he did with militancy,wish he dedicated that energy to other areas,do you know if not for not not to accuse him wrongly one would say he did that to enable him use the security vote like its happening up north where they tell you the state is helping the military buying them vehicles
We deserve better dear.

To be frank with u, I have so much to tell u that I simply don't know how to start. Unfortunately I need to move now however here is my verdict.
1) No one claims that Amaechi himself is a saint. On some issues I do not support him. Example was the rivers money for rivers people policy Crap that backfired. He was smart enough to quickly back pedalon that bullshit.
2) love him or hate him, Amaechi remains the best governor rivers have ever had in recent times based on achievement on ground.
3) does this mean he couldn't have done better despite dwindling income, distractions and detractors? Of cos he could have done better.
4) if am to choose between Amaechi's wisdom for Dakuku or shepopotamus wisdom for wike, this is no brainer, Dakuku gets it.
5) u talked about Amaechi's performance during first tenure, one of the core brains behind it was Dakuku as Commissioner for works.
6) if I don't want Dakuku, them am stuck with tout Wike.
A known failure as lg chairman of one of the richest lg in Nigeria.
A known failure as minister of education. What he couldn't acheive for months, a new minister did acheive in less than 24hrs.
A billionaire who have no life or major source of income after politics.
This is no brainer, the Apc option is a better alternative if we are not to even consider ethnicity. [/b]

here:

If you look closely,I didnt say I prefer one to the other.
I didnt also bring the Ethni card,but if your reason for refusing Wike is because is Wike then there is a problem with your judgement(Not rude). Because aside that they fell out,what changed?
They said Wike took money and didnt do a project,I asked how come EFCC was never notified but he was nominated for minister.
We deserve better and if Fashola can come I will vote for him than Peterside or Wike.
But really cab you answer me,what is Dakuku's masterplan,what guarantee is he giving us like if he doesnt achieve 35% in 2yrs he will resign,can he do that? I didnt even ask for 60%.

U need to wake up to reality here that Rivers for 2015 has just one out of two options. if u choose to call them both devils, fine but from these two we must choose one and wise ones will choose the lesser devil.
Do u think i wont also vote for a saint instead of the two if the option is there for me? But the truth is it isnt there. I have to make use and choose from what is available for me and that explains my preference for Dakuku.
Dakuku's precedence speaks for him and u too attested to that fact. Unlike PDP, if trully u are based here u will understand that APC aspirants were barred from going round publicly to solicit for votes. even at that preference for dakuku for me is all about their past/antecedents and not the future because i am no God. Dakuku to the best of my knowledge has no baggage, wike does


How is Dakuku different from Wike?

Go back to my previous post to u and find out. Dont make me repeat it all over

At Wike's screening,Wike said I raised that igr of the LGA that Abe here said if every chairman can be like Wike everyone would be happy(something close),

what are u saying here? are u saying that Abe (APC) was present during wikes (PDP) screening or what? This doesnt make sense. get ur facts right.

[s]do you know clearance required affirmation of the nominees state senators,did Abe and other ever tell the Senate this man has a questionable character,can we take it Senator Abe and others decieved the Senate?[/s]

Inconsequential. Abe is no issue here. The core players we are discussing are Wike, Amaechi, Dakuku, PDP and APC

What has Amaechi done the last 6yrs how is it different from Katsina?

U dont sound like someone in Rivers. I wont even waste my time attending to this thrash. Google is ur friend. U dont call Amaechi the best governor in recent times in Rivers ithout doing anything for the past 6 years.

tamunoibiso:

Rivers State needs a regime change, so I believe all wike's fellow aspirants that lost in today's primary will be promised some appointment and they all will be fall back into line.
So I foresee victory come feb 2015 for PDP rivers state.

Okijajuju1:


Rivers State under Wike would return to what the state use to be like under Odili which is "share the money".. #Tufiakwa..[/b]

tamunoibiso:
What a landslide victory, I believe he will replicate these com feb 2015.

RICHIEBOI1:


Ibiso, instead of you to advocate for your town man kalabari man to rule rivers state, u dey support Dis Ikwerre tout that can barely express himself properly. SMH

Mordyb:
you want people to die needlessly because of this. Tout

mbulela:


[size=14pt]It will be worse.
At least Odili pretended to be doing something.
Wike will not even pretend to be doing anything.

mbulela:


Because the party structure is completely in his bag pocket. The man is a grass root politician,there is no doubt about it. If PDP tries anything, he will go to Labour party and still win the election. While the man was busy building the state structure for PDP through GDI,the other contestants were busying fluffing around.

However, the man is bad news.
It is like asking Adedibu to be the governor of Oyo State 10 years ago.

YEMOYEMI:
He will lose to the APC candidate as expected. Even PDP members will not vote for that tout. He speaks english like someone eating hot yam.

stinggy:
But he won't win Peterside come Feb

Demdem:


Fool, is Buhari a contender for ph brick house which is the core reason why this thread exist?
Fool, i think u are lost.

ShaddyTerese:

So what are his chances against APC under Amechi's watch?

obataokenwa:
writing from Rumuola....with the way it stands here in PH, only God can stop WIKE....Dakuku is not outspoken and his camp is silent while Wike is discussion in almost every nook and cranny of PHcity....discussion is both of good and bad...but the good is more than the bad....he was liked mainly for his generosity and popularity and he speaks the peoples mind...

mbulela:

Another Fayose in the making.
Much more than that, he has the rigging manual in his back pocket. For all his loquacuousness, Amaechi is not a grass root politician and neither is Peterside. Being a grass root politician is not particularly a compliment but it is what you need to win elections in Nigeria. To show you how strong Wike's grasp of the PDP structure is,not even GEJ can do anything about it. He can play as dirty as you imagine. Rivers state has stalled a piece of fish bone that will be difficult to dislodge. That bone is Nyesom Wike. The crux of the matter is a system that throws up characters like that for positions as sensitive as governorship.
What was Amaechi thinking when he nominated him for minister?
What was Obasanjo thinking when he handpicked Yaradua and GEJ? Short sighted decisions that have wrecked the country. A country with aspirations should have no business with an inept and clueless president like Jonathan.
If Amaechi thought Wike was good enough to be a minister of the Republic then Rivers people must get ready to enjoy his leadership as governor. The man will trounce Peterside.

Rolly83:


Come 2015,I hope you will remember this your senseless statement.

tamunoibiso:
With the look of things Nyesom Wike will be the governorship flag bearer of PDP. Will soon update the total votes he got in its entirety.

We deserve better dear.

Blakyclyde:

My sister, are you not ashamed? I expect a sensible person like you to rise up against the Ikwerre-monopoly of the Brick House. Instead of you to speak against the injustice meted out to Tonye Princewill, Dumo Lulu Briggs (which happen to be your brothers!, you're here dancing for Wike! I just don't know what is wrong with my Kalabari folks. This height of foolishness is becoming nauseating! How can one particular tribe reign supreme over nearly about 40 of such?
Rivers state is truly a Rivers of Stu.pidity.
