Senate Receives 10 Petitions Against Amaechi, Others-the Punch by myners007: 2:33am On Oct 08, 2015
No fewer than 10 individuals and groups had presented various petitions to the Senate through its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Petitions against the 21 ministerial nominees presented for screening by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Investigations by one of our correspondents on Wednesday revealed that apart from the petition against the former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, which was submitted to the Senate in plenary, other Nigerians had forwarded no fewer than nine others to the committee.

A member of the parliamentary staff, who works closely with the committee, told one of our correspondents, on condition of anonymity, that the petitions had been properly documented for consideration.

The source said, “I don’t really know the accurate number of petitions we have received so far, I am not in the office at the moment but they should be up to 10.”

The Committee chairman, Senator Samuel Anyawu, did not speak on the issue when one of our correspondents called him on the telephone on Wednesday evening.

He said, “I will speak with you later please, I am sorry.”

Meanwhile, the Presidency on Wednesday said it would take its time before reacting to the various criticisms trailing the Tuesday’s announcement of President Buhari’s ministerial nominees by the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

Saraki had at plenary announced 21 names as contained in the ministerial list sent to him on September 30, saying the screening of the nominees would commence on Tuesday, October 13.

But the announcement attracted criticisms with many saying the names on the list did not worth the wait for four months before making the names public.

When contacted, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the Presidency was aware of the criticisms.

Shehu said the Presidency would however not react yet because it expected that many more criticisms would still follow.

He said, “We will react to the various criticisms at the appropriate time. We are aware of the criticisms and we expect that more will still follow. We will react to all of them at the same time.”

Amaechi was never a lion but a mere Judas who betrayed his people for a mere ministerial post. Will he succeed and how will he end? Let wait and see as karma is a biatch

Truth be told, I'm indifferent about Amaechi being on the list, as long as Fayemi and Fashola are there. However, the many political errors cum shallow permutations wailers put up on this forum has left the likes of me not only to admire Amaechi but to love him. You all predicted his end against Jonathan but reverse was the case. He championed the downfall of Jonathan.

Seeing that's not enough, you all took solace in telling yourselves that he won't be recognized under a tribalistic president, again, reverse is the case. Amaechi has been around, noticed and visible like a 64 inches LG television around the president.

"Amaechi won't make the cut", he did and now you're all perplexed. "Amaechi would never become a minister", we're still on that and we know how it would end.

I have heard and seen cries/wailings with moves/actions, una own na lie. You all come to Nairaland to make yourself feel good when in reality you cannot argue or protest Amaechi's case from your living room to the entrance of your street/avenue or wherever.

Cowards only quake and hide when they have erred. Amaechi is one, if not THE toughest politicians I have seen in Nigeria. Give it to him, abeg!

The Gospel truth is this, there would be wailings on Tuesday when Amaechi stands before the Senate. He'll be mocked even but he'll eventually be allowed, not because "he is clean" but because the petitions coming in now are late. Wike was clearly sleeping before now. Like many here, he was sure Amaechi will not be considered.

The president has chosen. If Amaechi has the tendency to outperform a/the previous minister in the capacity he'll function in, then no problem. He should go on ahead.

Even after his sojourn with his masters in Abuja, will he not go back to the same people he betrayed? How would his end be? Please don't pray to be an outcast

Prophet warrior, since you can tell his inevitable end, please amuse me and other curious Nairalanders what awaits him. And in what sense did he betray his people. Did he leave Rivers a PDP politician only to return and APC man Please enlighten me on this. Perhaps you're referring to the downfall of Jonathangrin Amaechi may have championed the cause but he didn't do it alone. Frustrated Nigerians joined him to kick Jonathan and Patience outgringrin

10 petitions against Amaechi! for only one person head. ! hmmmmmm na only God go save this man. but the way am seeing this, the petitions may not affect , he will still pass the screening.

Never knew they dreaded him this much. He must truly be a lion. The epithet, "lion of Ubima" must have had an effect on their psyche. They may come in one direction but will flee in a thousand ways. The look on his face alone is enough to send shivers down their spine. The guy is that fiery!

Their only grouse with him has always been, "he betrayed our own."
Bunch of nincompoops!

Shut ur trap Goon. Which people did he betray? Is Jonah-daft "his people "? Was it not his cries of snatched oil wells which brought bad blood that is the Genesis of all these? The same oil wells wike is currently begging to be returned. Did Jonah-daft not also not betray him by aligning with an aboki instead of him when it mattered? The last time Amaechi was in PH, he entered like a king and it was obvious his people loved him. That u wike thugs hate him is understandable but is plain silly to believe that whatever u fools want the entire rivers people also want.
Amaechi is and remain a respected son among his people. Chew on that.
