I would like to tell a Story of four people who became very Close Friends by Circumstances. I used to call them the "MOVING TRAIN" till It became Imperative that They had to seperate because in Politics, There are no Permanent friend or Permanent Enemies..ONLY PERMANENT INTEREST

I wouldn't want to bore you with stories How they met and How they helped each other to great heights but let's put the story aside and face reality

They are

1. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi
2. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike
3. Magnus Abe
4. Dakuku Adol Peterside

Let's keep politics aside and Face Reality..These four people Alongside a few others came with the political Ideology and slogan then "I BELIEVE" in 2007. By The Hand of God and Their collective effort(Whether One of them contributed 0.1%, they all contributed one way or the other), On 27th October 2007, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi emerged The Governor of Rivers State and These were the only friends He could count on.

THEIR BOND OF TRUST AND LOVE WAS EARNED. Let me give you a run down of what they had achieved in Politics before they merged to form what I called "THE MOVING TRAIN" in 2007..

1. Amaechi became the Youngest speaker of The Rivers State House of Assembly at 33 in 1999 to 2007

2. Nyesom Wike Became The Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Council at 32 in Year 2000 to 2007( 2nd richest LGA in Nigeria with allocation nd IGR bigger than some states)

3. Magnus Abe became a Member of The Rivers State House of Assembly Representing The People of Gokana Constituency at 34. He Emerged Minority leader given to the fact that He belonged to the Opposition party then- ANPP. In 2003, He defected to the PDP and He was appointed commissioner of Information by the Dr.Peter Odili led adminstration.

4. Dakuku Peterside became The Chairman of Opobo/Nkoro Local Government at 31 in 2002 and Then Later S.A to the Rivers State Governor on Works at 32 in 2003-2005. In 2005-2007, He became The Executive Director of Development and Leadership Institute.

In 2007, Amaechi became The Executive Governor of Rivers State and This His "Cartel Men" took the stage in the Grand stance

- Nyesom Wike Became His Chief of Staff
- Magnus Abe Became The Secretary to State Government
- Dakuku Peterside Became The commissioner of works

There Has Never been a Squad like this since the creation of Rivers State till Date. They were so Powerful that Everyone even had advised Governor Amaechi to push them to Abuja because Rivers State could no longer Contain them. The Power was too much yet They Blossomed.

In 2011, There was no opposition in Rivers State except Some Adults playing in the sand

-Amaechi Returned as Governor for a Second Term
-Nyesom Wike became Minister for state for Education
- Magnus Abe Became A Senator
- Dakuku became the Member House of Representatives

In 2015, The Center could No Longer Hold but Today

- Amaechi is The Minister of Transportation
- Nyesom Wike is The Executive Governor of Rivers State
- Magnus Abe is Back to the Senate
- Dakuku is the DG of the Big Cash Cow "NIMASA" after running as The Gubernatorial Candidate of the APC in 2015

WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS, THESE FOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE OF RIVERS STATE. They might still be in Charge for at Least The Next 6 Years

AMAECHI is the Leader of APC in Rivers State

Wike is the Leader of PDP in Rivers State

From a Little Beginning, They bonded and later became The Strong Men of NOT JUST RIVERS POLITICS BUT Nigeria Politics

Today, they all seem to be operating individually, even at that, they remain the strongest forces in Rivers State.

They are fooling us...



We dey kill ourselves for their matter but
Those sailors anchor and deck together in closed seas.

Lolz.
They have made it big my brother. For now, they may seem to be separated.
But wait till a bigger interest surfaces!

Politics is a game afterall.
