The struggle to grab and maintain power in the Rivers State has become shameful! It is more unbelievable when you remember that lives are being lost and the instigators of this crisis are known political figures in the persons of Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, former #Governor of the state and #Nigeria‘s #Minister of Transportation, and a former Minister and the serving Governor of the State, #Nyesom Wike!

To me this is disgraceful on both parts. These leaders are meant to be the ones calling their gangsters in order to stop the violence that is destroying the state instead they are vomiting words that are motivating the youth to create mayhem .

The #PDP via its Twitter handle has alleged that #Rotimi Amaechi is mounting pressure on President #Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency on Rivers State.



If this allegation is true, one wonders if Amaechi has forgotten he is no longer the Governor of Rivers State, he must know that his ministry has a lot of challenges he should face squarely. Amaechi must allow Nyesom Wike to govern his state, he is the governor for Christ’s sake.

On the other part, Nyesom Wike should stop making us believe that his mission as the governor of Rivers State is to bring Amaechi down. He is the one who is meant to reach out to the stakeholders in the state to bring back peace in the state. He should know that you can’t drive development in the midst of violence.

Fashola has left Lagos State and is facing his new assignment instead Amaechi and Dakuku keep going to play politics in Rivers and disturbing the current state government.
If Amaechi is not interested in working for Ministry of transportation he should say so , there is so much work to be done
