Abi oooo, just the way you expect Patience Jonathan and Peter Odili to labour in vain.
True..When Wike was governor, he compensated both Odili and Jonathan..He didn't take them for granted.
Odili University got around 1bn naira from Wike..

When Tinubu was governor of Lagos, he dared and disrespected Obasanjo especially on the issue of Local governments.

Who is talking about respect?

Rivers Elders see deceiving him. He will soon become former governor.

If his street boys and the so called Rivers Elders decide to make the state unpeaceful after the impeachment of the kindergarten governor, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed and Unarmed Forces will declare a State of Emergency in Rivers State and deploy soldiers who ran away from Boko Haram and Bandits. Then the Commander-in-Chief will announce one of Nyezom Wike's boys as the Sole Administrator. Anybody wey wan die make he put head.

He said, a past governor that had successfully installed two successors in Igbo land and win for yourself 1M.
All the people you listed were able to installed one governor and before you know it, there was an infighting between them that caused their separation. Nowhere in Igbo land has godfatherism given fertile ground, except in Yoruba land. Yoruba even turn it to worship and sometimes see it as constitutional matter that must be respected by everyone, no matter your party and that has been killing party inclusiveness. This baba so PE politics is undemocratic and doesn't flow with civilization trend.
All the listed past governors all fell out with their successor. You need not lie because it's never a hidden thing.

Well, you can as well mention two successors the governors you listed imposed.

Let me first answer your question.
When Orji Kalu came in 1999 the issue of godfatherism was not known. So no one can say he brought Orji Kalu. Orji Kalu brought in Theodore Orji through PPA as a party and Theodore went back to PDP and that caused him and his godfather separation and till date Kalu never go back to PDP. Theodore installed Ekpezu and that is the end.

Now, you still have opportunity to win for yourself 1M naira. List a past governor in Igbo land that successfully installed two governors and stop grandstanding. My people doesn't complain to you that they are not been taken care of. You're in the line to be a millionaire if you can take up this challenge or you stop lying to yourself and the people reading your comments. I am not an Igbo but they have a culture that doesn't allow one man taking control of their political life. As much as they like Ojukwu, they never voted for him enmass because they see know reason for it as a warlord but you see they still have him the respect by always voting his party at the state level. They love inclusiveness but we outsiders see it as pride but you cannot take away one's inborn because it's embedded.

Keep promoting lawlessness, let them send the soldiers and police but remember Okuama in delta state, when boys resist them don't come here to shout they were on peace mission in Rivers state, though Tinubu will not be that reckless with Rivers because of one man's ego, the outcome will not be pleasant to the economy and nigerian state.

You see diversion tactics. Don't divert the message. Mention a godfather from Igbo extraction that have successfully installed two successors in a roll and stop this grandstanding. Mind you I am not an Igbo man, I am a Yoruba man and an Omoluabi to the core. It's not everyone that speaks the truth or go against the government on the altar of truth that is Igbo. If you think so, your mind is myopic and divisive.
Common on, the space still open for you to win the 1M, just man up and give us the name and the successors he planted.
Well, let me put this to you, there's nothing wrong in godfatherism but there are many things wrong if a godfather attach himself to wanting to control the government, to dictate who to become who as we have in Lagos. That on its own, is undemocratic and archaic of the first order.

Writing rubbish notes, so far a gov will keep handpicking a successor in your region instead of the democratic way of electing leaders in the internal and external party.

When Wike funded Fubaras election,campaigned for him, took the insults and fought for his success why didn't he reject since he knows he won't be loyal to Wike?
Do you expect Wike to labor in vain?
Did wike do all these from his pockets or from the common purse of Rivers state? In a sane clime, Wike would have faced the music for admitting on national TV that he single-handedly made the gov, the members of house of rep and senate from Rivers and all members of the state house of assembly...in a democracy.

I know a divisive mind when I see one. You're a divisive human being and it has shown in your comments. You think I am an Igbo person. I had corrected you before now but you're still linking me to Igbo because I tell you blunt truth the system obtainable in the south east, that they don't buy into godfatherism and that is the blunt truth.
You later went erroneously to say, if any governor picked a successor without following the democratic way of electing leaders internal and external party. Mr. Man, choosing of party flagbearer is purely party internal arrangement and not external in any way. The supreme court had said this many times. This is why some of us says, many of you are just zombies and don't know the law of the land, since you're use to baba sope and that is all. Anything outside party and constitutional provisions, it's undemocratic and archaic.

Besides, what a myopic mind, is it until you are a card carrying member of a party before you can know party issues. Mind you not everyone are regular party men or card carrying members of any political party but what they know about party issues surpass what many carrying members know because they don't read their own party constitution, electoral act and the constitution to be guided. They always think everything must be politicized and that is why you see parties are having problems after every primary done by each parties, because they refused to play by the rules.
I am not a party man and I don't want o be one but I contribute immensely on political issues on and off lines.

Now, to the may issue. Tell me the governor that have successfully installed two successors in a roll in Igbo land and stop diverting attention. You can only call someone a godfather, if he has control over the affairs of the party and her people but if a governor who coincidentally the leader of his party chose his successor and afterwards he could not exert any power, such cannot be said to be a godfather.
Let me help your brain. See this analogy below:
Victor Attah chooses Godswill Akpabio in turn Akpabio chooses Udom Gabriel Emmanuel in turn Udom chooses Umo Bassey Eno to succeed him. Now, who is a godfather amongst them that is controlling the political affairs of the state till date? Is it Attach that Akpabio relegated or Akpabio that Udom almost buried his political career or Udom that has gone mute since last year? Godfatherism gain root in the south west and not in the south east or South South. Please apply common sense.

I have said it that you're a divisive human being. No tribe tribe that wasn't involved in the structure for the restoration of democratic rule and they all faced the military.
Here below is what Segun Osoba has to say in his book:
"However, when the June 12 election was annulled, the CUU, in conjunction with such groups as the Movement for National Reformation (MNR), led by Chief Anthony Enahoro, Egbe Ilosiwaju Yoruba, led by General Adeyinka Adebayo, Afenifere led by Chief Michael Ajasin, the Progressive Alliance for Justice and Unity (PAJU), Justice Forum and National Patriotic Front (NPF) and several other pro-democracy and human rights groups like Beko Ransome Kuti’s Campaign for Democracy came together to form NADECO in General Adeyinka Adebayo’s house, GRA, Ikeja. Papa Ajasin emerged as the leader of the new group. The group now included politicians and activists throughout the country who were committed to the validation of the June 12 presidential election results. This was on May 15, 1994.

“Eventually, 49 people representing these organisations signed the document establishing NADECO with the following preambles:

“Whereas the military as an institution is essentially authoritarian and cannot, therefore, midwife democracy in Nigeria; whereas the Nigerian political class which has been abused, subverted and humiliated in the past ten years for cooperating and working with the military political agenda, how now realised that there is no alternative to democracy in Nigeria; now therefore, the leaders of the major democratic and progress organisations and eminent Nigerians hereby resolve to create a nationwide, broad-based political reform where all democratic and progressive forces can find accommodation for a joint struggle for the restoration of democracy and true federalism in Nigeria.”


The founding 49 signatories to NADECO were: Chief Michael Adekunle Ajasin, Mallam Lawal Dambazzau, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Chief Anthony Enahoro, Major General Adeyinka Adebayo (retd.), Chief Bola Ige, Commodore Dan Suleiman, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Professor Anya O. Anya, Colonel Yohanna Madaki, Reverend Father Moses Adasu, Dr Beko Ransome-Kuti, Reverend Tunji Adebiyi, Chief Ade Ojo, Chief Ralph Obioha, Chief Empire Kanu, Chief Michael Anyiam, Dr. Sola Soile, Vice Admiral Akin Aduwo, Chief E. Duru, Mr. Nick Dazzang, Mr. Labaran Maku, Dr A. A. Akingba, Mr Babas Eko Oyekanmi, Mr Alex Ayatolla, Mrs Sarah Jubril, Alhaji Ganiyu Dawodu, Mr O. P. Edodo, Mr A. Barber, Otunba Olabiyi Durojaiye, Chief Olusegun Osoba, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, Alhaji Mohammed Siraj Hamza, Dr. Wahab Dosunmu, Otunba Aboyade Cole, Major General Olufemi Olutoye (rtd), Chief Sobo Sowemimo, Dr. Steve Achema, Chief Olaniwun Ajayi, Chief Olu Falae, Brigadier-General Jonah Jang, Chief Abraham Adesanya, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Mr. Alao Aka-Bashorun, Mr. Emmanuel Njiwah, Chief Vincent Nwizugbo and Dr. Uma Eleazu.

“When Abiola returned from South Africa in May 1994 he was renewed and re-energizsed. NADECO leaders invited him to a meeting where he was asked to confirm if he was ready to actualise his mandate and lead the struggle.



Arrested in my house

“Soon after NADECO was formed in May 1994, I was arrested in my house and became the first of many others to follow later. I called the BBC correspondent on my mobile phone to announce my arrest which was immediately relayed live on the BBC Radio World Service as I was being driven to the police headquarters in Kam Salem House, Lagos, where I would be detained.

“The security agents were everywhere looking for other NADECO leaders to arrest. The man in charge of my interrogation was one Auta, a deputy commissioner of police. I was left in very humiliating condition in a large, rat-infested office where about twenty policemen had their desks. Once the policemen closed for the day, the big rodents took over. A combination of four desks served as my orthopaedic bed.

“However, I was lucky that one of the commissioners of police at Kam Salem House, then Prince Rilwanu Babatunde Akiolu – who later became the Oba of Lagos as Oba Rilwanu Babatunde Akiolu 1 – gave me the key to his office and asked me to sleep there every night.

“I was grateful for this but was apprehensive that I could put Akiolu in trouble if found to be aiding and abetting an ‘enemy’ of the regime. He asked me not to worry. I also used his office phone to contact my colleagues in the struggle.

Later, Commodore Dan Suleiman and I were charged to court for forming an ‘illegal organisation called National Democratic Coalition (NADECO).’ Interesting enough, the man who led our defence in court was Chief Abraham Adesanya, himself a leading member of that ‘illegal organization.’ Others like Chief Enahoro and Dr Beko Ransome-Kuti of the Campaign for Democracy were also arrested. Former Governors Bola Ige and Balarabe Musa were also detained with us briefly.”

Hope you have seen the names and link them to the tribes they belong. Better stop this divisiveness you people are doing. It won't give progress to this country. A word is enough for the wise.
