₦airaland Forum

Madam PEJ,
It is a pity you are taking this too far as you've done in similar cases in the past. Been vindictive does not help you anyway especially at this time when the media and most Nigerians are mad with your public disposition to governance.
Of a truth, the woman that died is close but not your biological mother in that matter. I recall vividly your mum died 1993 and buried December same year. So why disturb the peace with unnecessary media releases.

ODENIG: Recent write up from Nairalanders does not show decorum and a complete writer etiquete.Peolpe comment base on the frustration they are going through mostly guys in Lagos who don't know what happening in Rivers State.Amechi is heartless Governor who should be thought a lesson.He is a good story teller and revenge planner.Amechi never considers anybody.You could imagine Amechi passing through Stadium road in Portharcourt saw water on the road came down and declared a car wash closed down.He keeps breaking shops and houses anywhere he sees.

My brother unfortunately that is NL for you. A lot of people just comment either for the fun or ignorance caused by the media. I met one of my friends who is a politician and an ally of Amaechi, you can imagine he has compiled names of people to be dealt with when/ or should he settle with Mr president. He is vindictive just as PEJ is.

$ugardaddy:
Point of correction pls. Rivers State is not a flash point of any sort, it is PEJ and her "worshippers" (Wike, Evans Bipi, CP, etc) that usually turns it into one whenever she visits. Without the "Jesus Christ of Okrika" and her sycophants, Rivers State is very peaceful and calm.

Chief Sugar Daddy,
I will still correct you that Rivers state is a flash point and not as peaceful as you claim. You do not know a jack more than I do, So keep to your opinion and name calling.

Mr Aboki: You will keep lying until your surname changes to Linus...

Please name one road that Amaechi demarcated a single lane and called it dualized.... We are waiting o!!

Opkoro Road - Is that road not currently under construction?! Infact was that road not expanded from its original size?! - Answers required


Woji Road - Is that not the same road that Temple Ejekwu and the band of Ikwerres there have insisted on being paid unwarranted compensation before work commences?!


My guy please.. Call Amaechi names, but dont ever talk shiit about him when it comes to Healthcare, Schools, Roads, security and Electricity.. The roads to be fixed are still very plenty, but the roads that have been fixed, and being fixed are plentier.

Nkpogu road seems dualised recently but only one lane is barely passable with more than a hundred dispersed pot holes for a less than 1km road.

Maxymilliano: The late Mrs. Iwarioba, popularly called Sisi is the first lady’s adopted mother since she lost her biological mum at an early age

She lost her mum 1993 and considering her age it is not really early as she was already in her 30's then. To topic, I believe she has a right to visit her own state and it should not be over-politicized. None of us complaining here would visit a flash point like Rivers state without taking full guide. In the past years she visits without much notice.

karl max: Watch as this new fades away unlike the fake rumour about his removal that made front page

I am waiting for the fake news peddler to adjust the score line alotted.

supersonic: It is good that way. Let the PC leave that state and by doing that, we will know the next step in tackling the River State problem.

Trust me a new CP will not solve any problem if Amaechi does not meet with the president as recommended by the ACN governors. Besides the new CP should not be used to chase opponents as Amaechi did towards the end of 2012. There are historical antecedence to this looming unending political conundrum in rivers state by using the security personnel to achieve an oppressive goal.

Chiddysville: Pls, which road are you talking about or you just want to seek for unnecessary attention?

Don't mind that dude. He is a false alarmist and propagandist. Name the roads blocked.

Nice one there CRA. This is what we expect. Some maturity in public speech.

Good stuff. I think the length of the cover letter is okay for the position applied. Most CV can hardly tell all the stories but that would be made during interview anyway.

Symphony007: How could the media have been so lazy as not to report to nigerians that mrs oba is not patience biological mother but foster mother. I guess that is why she stayed back at geneva upon hearing the news, rather than rushing home.

I confirmed on NL that her biological mother died 1993 and this is well known because I attended that funeral then, but the media that lacks investigative journalism keep saying it. Maybe madam PEJ has also not said anything on it.

pregnant

chino11: Amechi is getting more desperate by the day..

From every indication, he is drowning..

Wait for some guys to come here and tell you the opposite. I thought he accepted to review the recommendation of the "opposition" governors to meet with the president and the presidency also accepting to talk with him.

One man squad I guess!

biolabee: So the birth mother also died on a road and still they did not fix these same roads...?
So how many more lives....
Ok ooooo




Still a lot of bad roads in naija
Rmber that yakowa died avoiding the roads taken by the masses






Na today dem dey use taxpayer money anyhow?

Don't be lazy, is comprehension a problem to you? I mentioned 1993 i guess you were not born then

mascott: The dead woman is not her biological mother but adopted. Her biological mother died many years ago. Please confirm from the right sources to avoid misinforming the public.

You are right, She is not her biological mother. Her mother died 1993 at Aggrey road Port Harcourt by accident too on her way to church. I attended the funeral then.

The usual critics of anything good the government do are avoiding this thread. Am still waiting to see how they claim this was initiated 10yrs ago. It is good to criticize and keep the government performing optimally but some believe in pull him down by all means except you give me 2015.

taharqa2: And Bros, are you Surprised?? That is Surprising!! You clearly do not know d kind of PATHETIC HYPOCRITES we are dealing with here, do you?.... Anyways, welcome to d 'club'...

My bros it is becoming clearer that I have to quit NL forever. I like constructive criticism but what I have seen lately is very disappointing. Either some young forks here are acting based on frustration of getting a job or a failed culture is what I don't know.
No one would insult their mums, aunts, uncles, senior brothers etc at home willingly even if they are the worst in demeanors but it is now a regular exercise here on a per second basis.
Seun, please review rule 2 to allow for meaningful discussions and political debate on this section please.

Thanks for this comparison, at least we have balance view. Though one would think it ws wrong but clearly even michell Obama alighted the plane before Obama. Why are peole now adding handshake is what I don't understand because the earlier complain was she been in front.

Worldlife: They are all militants that cm out frm the creek.

No sir, although I will no longer comment on this fight anymore but the leader of the group Mr Nwanosike is from Igwuruta town in Ikwerre LGA and most of the people standing there are from Obio/Akpor LGA. Only rivers people know their people not the bias media.
Again, I do not support the protest just as it was wrong timing for those governors to visit CRA.

@Bensonite

Fair enough!
We are on the same page. personally, I hate amaechi as person cos of his arrogancy and slight extravagance. I still see no reason why a state governor should use public funds to buy private jet for his exclusive use, when the money could be put into better usage. Aside that, he performed well as a governor going by Nigerian standard.

Let's look out for the eggs of the current situation when the storm is over.

Well, we just need peace and progress thats all. Politicians will always mend ways when their interest is assured but we the citizens should always demand for the right thing to be done.

Rhino.5dm:
@Bensonite.

You are right, I live far away from town and can't even remember the last time I had anything to do with that side. 35 years in PH . . .I give up. My movement is between GRA, waterlines, Trans - Amadi, Artillery I & II, Mile 1,3 and 4, Choba . I would 've actually like meeting you, but for security and personal safety (If na Lagos or Abuja)


On a side note,

1- Do you really believe this press release has nothing to do with current political crisis, I mean ethnically motivated?

2- How do you see amaechi as a governor, I mean his performance cos I know of his arrogancy and other not -so-.nice attitude (first hand).

Rhino,
I am well learned and also working in the O/G so will not hurt you or put you in harms way- though I seem to know the good and bad boys- you name any of them very well. I only wanted to clear some facts because the media has influenced our emotions too badly.
On your questions:
1. It is possible to think that it is ethnically inclined since the author is riverine and rivers state seems polarized since its creation into upland/riverine but if you are friendly with rhythm 93.7 fm and the local print media, Mr Jerry Needam(Ogoni man-upland) has been crying of this since 2011 pre-election and post-election. Infact, the approval of the jet in 2011 by RVHA brought so much press releases and criticism but so many people kept deaf hear because Amaechi was performing.
2. On a personal note Amaechi is closed to some of my friends having lived in Borikiri(Okarki street to be precise) and also Diobu in his struggling days- there are things I cannot say here for now.
On governance, let me eliminate his days as speaker and assess him as governor. No doubt He belongs to the "A" cadre and only a blind man will say He is not performing. PH has transformed significantly but he is not judged by performance anymore but on attitude which is has contributed to the whole political conundrum in Rivers state.

@Bensonite
What did I said that is wrong here? isn't it right to tie everything to tribe and region in this present day Nigeria? I see you trying to water down the glaring facts that majority of people calling are on the side of amaechi with this your "some of the callers are paid ".

You know that amaechi really dealt with the okrika people and it is expected and natural for them to fight back, but trying to say this press release is not ethnically motivated will amount to dishonesty on your own side. From the demolition of waterside to displacement of okrika cultist like Ateke Tom and Abiye Sekibo. Amaechi became sworn enemy of PEJ after the demolition of waterside, and his sheer arrogancy didn't help the situation either.


Secondly, Wike is just an opportunist cashing into the present fracas to pursue his political ambitions of becoming the next governor of rivers state, so his angle and his followers shouldn't count per say. His problem with amaechi started when amaechi announced during a town hall meeting that no ikwerre man will succeed him, after his second tenure. PEJ saw wike as a willing tool to fight amaechi and nothing more.


Lastly, the rumours of amaechi trying to contest against president jonathan, which was peddled by Orubube to pacify the president saw amaechi fighting 3 wars at the same time. So, I can bet my last dime that this press release is ethnically motivated.

I won't be around for 2 weeks, besides you know the security siietuation is now deteriorating since the latest showdown.

Rhino,
It is true Amaechi had problems with Okrikans in an attempt to demolish the waterfronts(no doubt PEJ acted silly too). Look at the bolded except you are not familiar with Port Harcourt very well. Amaechi demolished only Abonnema wharf and Njemanze waterfronts(this places constitute less than 5% of the planned demolition) which are not occupied by Okrikans but mainly Kalabaris. Shortly after Amaechi re-election he ran to Okrika to celebrate his birthday for the massive vote received even winning Abiye Sekibo in his ward. Till date Okrikans hold the key commissioners positions in the state viz health, information and communication, education and lots of special advices. Out of the three Okrika lawmakers in the house of assembly two are with him. What more do you need to know that though not all okrikans love him- just with his own people but there is relative peace as He did not carry out the rest of 95% planned demolition. It is good to say what you know bro not media propaganda.
At your last paragraph, I would have love to show you around old PH township where I lived over 35yrs because I believe you live far off from the city center.

pro01: At a time of great governance crisis and volatile security situation in Rivers state ENTIRELY caused by the recalcitrance and stupidity of the state governor, what do these jobless renegade governors seek to achieve by going there under the guise of a supposed "solidarity visit"? Solidarity with who, for what purpose, to spite who, to achieve what sinister ends? These fools are all clowns, and they deserve whatever misfortune befalls them. The protesters should roast them alive if possible, to serve as a deterrent to others that are in the habit of stoking crisis in furtherance of selfish and mischievous ends. Nonsense.

Well spoken! Why such a visit when they know all is not well. Similarly no pro-GEJ group should visit. They should allow the senate do a proper investigation and proffer solution if possible.

@NaijaFlow
What are you talking about? Thesame Abeyi Sekibo that left the party? Let me tell you this, if really you are interested in knowing the mindsets of rivers people on this power tussle then tune to one of these rivers state radio stations; Love Fm, Nigerinfo, Cool Fm, Rivers radio, Wazobia. They are constantly bashing the presidency.

These guys are from okrika, the same place patience jonathan originated from, so we expect them to side with the presidency.

You keep dragging tribe into this crises even when evidence show it is not a tribal war. If it was tribal as you are painting it Rivers state would have boiled beyond what it is. So you mean Sergeant Awuse, Odili, Austin Opara, Azubuike Emerekini,Chibudom Nwuche, Elem Chuku Oboh,Nyesom Wike are all from Okrika. Jerry Needam and Kenneth Kobani all former ACN who have are Ogonis are they also from okrika. Even the current ACN secretary that signed the piece we are reading is from Kalabari just as Tonye Princewill is criticizing Amaechi.
Again you are not saying the truth on these radio programmes you mentioned as we all listen too. I will invite you to listen to viewpoint rhythm 93.7 on Saturdays 8:15am. Some of the callers are paid from both sides of the crises. Walk into the street and villages then you will see the real people. You once invited someone to meet you at genesis GRA can I invite you this time. I am not on any side of the divide because I want peace to rain but we should not jettison truth to get sympathy.

Ikengawo: I'm just hearing that Wole was a part of IBB's regime
is there any truth to this?

I thought you people like asking google for everything this days.
Anyway, he served as head FRSC during IBB regime.

I believe the writer of this piece was not Kalu has some have already construe it to be. It was rather a comparison of two personalities(Soyinka and Kalu) approach to the political conundrum in Rivers state. While one proffered solution after blaming all the players, the other just took side without solution offered.

by John Okiyi Kalu
Do you know the genesis of the Rivers House of Assembly crisis?

That house was one of the most unified in the nation until the removal of the duly elected Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government. 5 members of the house objected to the process used in removing him and they described it as undemocratic and not following due legislative process. The other 27 stuck to their gun. The state government denied involvement in what was purely a legislative action.

The governor appointed a caretaker chairman who took over from the elected chairman. It later emerged that the removed elected Chairman was sympathetic to Minister Nyesom Wike who is believed to have been instrumental to his getting the ticket to contest. The other 5 legislators are also Nwike's beneficiaries while still the Chief of Staff to Amaechi and the most powerful local politician of those days.

Those seeking a solution to the crisis should also look at Obio-Akpor situation. It needs resolution because I don't believe the constitution envisaged a situation where an elected LGA Chairman will retain his seat at the mercy of state legislators. If that is the case, we need urgent amendment of the relevant portion. That it was called "suspension" suggests to me that a loophole in state laws was used to effect the removal.

What does Nyesom Wike Want?

He was a local government Chairman under Odili. When Amaechi was shoved aside by imperial Obasanjo who described his due nomination as having K-leg, Wike faithfully supported Amaechi. Whereas others linked up with Omehia, Nyesom, Chidi Lloyd and a few others were loyal to Amaechi's cause. It is believed that Nyesom actually paid a major part of the cost of litigation that returned Amaechi to power as well as provided him with safe hide out while he was being hunted by the PDP muderous cabal of those days described then by someone as a nest of killers.

When Amaechi was restored, he promptly compensated Nyesom and not only made him Chief of Staff but also the most powerful man in the regime's first tenure. Most people familiar with the govt will tell you that Wike was larger than life. He acquired stinking wealth and political goodwill. But then Amaechi has always been a strong character himself and could think for himself.

In 2011 Nyesom wanted to go to the Senate. The same senatorial constituency with Amaechi. Amaechi reasoned that if Nyesom should get that seat he will not agree to relinquish it in 2015 for him. He opted to put a "controllable" candidate who can be quietly eased out in 2015 for Amaechi to become Senator Rotimi Amaechi. To compensate Nyesom, he offered him Rivers State Ministerial slot and actually nominated and pushed his candidacy to the President.

Unfortunately, some guys at the presidency were too scared of Nyesom Wike and didn't want him closer than necessary to the President. He was appointed a junior minister of education. What does Nyesom know about education, talk less of the humiliation of being junior to a female minister. The man must hate his current job passionately and has nobody to blame but Amaechi. That was how he became a willing recruit in the hands of those who had issues with Amaechi. Pay back.

Two principal issues Amaechi had with elements in the Presidency include his confrontation with Mrs Patience Jonathan over the demolition of PH waterfront. Mrs Jonathan is from Okirika and in her maiden triumphant visit to her hometown as President's wife, her people inundated her with tales of how Amaechi demolished the waterfront and expelled their people from their homes. Those were same people that have already collected millions from Amaechi as compensation. Only God knows what more they want. If you know the PH waterside in question, you will praise Amaechi's courage and determination to demolish it. It was a criminal enclave and a major recruiting point for militants and sundry criminals. The likes of Late Soboma George were proud alumnus of Port Harcourt waterfront.

Amaechi's cardinal objective in his first tenure was security of lives and properties. He pursued it with uncommon zeal. He would have scored zero if he didn't demolish the waterfront. But like every multi-ethnic environment, some people stoked the fire and alleged ethnic bias against their people. They ran to their most prominent daughter and complained bitterly. Sadly, the woman they complained to shared a common attribute with Amaechi-abrasiveness. She forgot protocol and publicly chastised Amaechi right before his subjects in a public event. Even me pitied the governor who was publicly humiliated by the wife of the President without hearing his side of the story. But then Amaechi would have done same in a reversed position. They have that in common-yawoyawo.

Regardless of the foregoing, Amaechi still worked with Jonathan and was everywhere campaigning for him. He delivered over 2m votes which was key in pegging back Niger-born and child voters that showed up in Katsina and Kano. As a Niger Deltan, he has done his bit and can be proud of that. But even that was not enough to earn the respect and trust of the Madam on top of our President. She never pretended to like or approve of him. It was only a matter of time before the two large egos will clash again.

This time, Madam's team have a good recruit called Nyesom Wike. They started stalking Amaechi and imputing wrong motives to ordinary actions and utterances. Of course he didn't help himself. He talks too much at times. And then the issue of Rivers-Bayelsa oil issue came up. Don't forget that Rivers previously had issues with Abia and Akwa Ibom on border delineation and ownership of oil bearing land. It is common knowledge in Abia that many of the oil wells credited to Rivers actually belongs to Abia and even some found right within Abia are being horizontally drilled and credited to Rivers. At least many Abians suspect that much but lack the resources to fight the richer Rivers. Supreme court and boundary adjustment verdicts still favour the highest bidder who can arrange certain comforts including the capacity to hire the best legal representation and navigate the top echelon of the judiciary and boundary adjustment commision. This is still Nigeria.

Akwa Ibom adopted a fire for fire approach in their dispute with Rivers in their boundary dispute and delivered a humiliating blow that cost Rivers billions in derivation revenue and effectively made Akwa Ibom the most liquid state in the South South and South East. The blow was too much for Amaechi to bear and there were suspicions that Akwa Ibom had help from above. "Above" in this case can only mean the all powerful Presidency. Your guess is as good as mine as to who Amaechi/Rivers suspected of undoing them in favour of Akwa Ibom.

It was therefore not surprising that when another dispute arose between Rivers and Bayelsa, Amaechi went all out to avoid further loss of land and revenue. In a moment of carelessness, rumors have it, Amaechi said some things that wasn't so complimentary of the office of the President in a state exco retreat at Obudu Cattle Ranch in Cross River State. Someone took the tape to Abuja as evidence of anti-Presidency stance of Amaechi. That was quickly added to the "sins" of Amaechi for which he must be dealt with and treated as an enemy to the Presidency. Those who have personal and political issues with Amaechi seized on the theme to draw up a road map for Amaechi's humiliation. The VP propaganda was manufactured and sold to the President and the public. Even without any concrete evidence of Amaechi being interested in any such position.

Rather than quickly meet with the President to explain his own side Amaechi dug in and tried to fight back and protect his dignity as a person. Of course he employed all the experience of his long studentship at Nigeria's political school to ensure he stays afloat. Nigerian people love the "underdog" and hence were sympathetic to his cause. On the other hand, Jonathan's political opponents saw an opportunity to divide his political base and make his re-election difficult, if not impossible. They stoked the fire endlessly and offered Amaechi a phantom shoulder to lean on. All they want is to use the crisis to mess up the re-election of the President. While the likes of Wike have seen an opportunity to pay back Amaechi and possibly get the senate seat they want in 2015. To booth, moribund politicians like Odili, Omehia, Honorable Nwuche, Abiye Sekibo etc are now caucusing together in the true spirit of my enemy's enemy is my friend. The same gang that raped Rivers State with impunity for 8 years.

God Dey!

Way Forward.

Amaechi should immediately take steps to douse the tension and make up with President Jonathan himself. Forget the wife and her antics. Forget third parties. Do it yourself. Approach the President and explain your position. If necessary, apologize profusely and offer your support for his 2015 project.

It is unthinkable for the Niger Delta to lose the Presidency and settle for anything less under any guise or arrangement. It is terrible politics. Moreover, if the come comes to become you will be on your own. All the Professors in the world and the media of the world will move on and find other engagements. If in doubt, ask Late MKO Abiola and Diepreye Alamisegha. Political oblivion beckons and must be avoided at all cost, including pride. There is nothing about Chidi Lloyds and his murderous gang that can save you. Most likely they will negotiate for themselves to remain in power and avoid long jail terms. There is simply no such thing as parliamentary immunity for attempted murder. I was among those deceived by the media into believing it exists. It doesn't exist.

Removing a governor is as simple as the method applied in removing Obio-Akpor LGA Chairman. In Nigeria, the process doesn't have to be right and after the initial uproars everyone will move on to other things. Be guided.

Restore the Obio-Akpor LGA chairman as a confidence building measure. You can no longer claim "legislative affairs" given your physical intervention in favour of the 27 at the state house of assembly. If you can intervene in a legislative fracas to save the majority then you must also intervene to restore the Chairman. There are other ways to asphyxiate the man if you no longer like him. Moreover, the next LGA election is only a year away from now. He who goes to equity must go with clean hands.

Concurrently, you must visit the battered Michael Chinda and not only offer your sympathies but also make sure he gets the best possible medical treatment available in the world. Condemn without reservation the barbaric actions of Chidi Llyolds and your security aides and distance your self from them. Chidi will do same to you if the heat starts getting hot. Don't forget that Chinda is also an Ikwerre man like you and all the 32 legislators are your subjects and previously worked for you, just like you worked for Jonathan previously. There is no permanent friend or enemy in politics and a wise man is the one who remains politically relevant. Brave men don't last in politics and only those with staying power can run their laudable projects. The other side is lonely, my governor. Don't go there with your two eyes open.

This is the time and opportunity for Mr President to show statesmanship. He must remember that a house divided against itself cannot stand. No sane man uses all the powers he has and a forgiving spirit is the true hallmark of a great leader. Removal of Amaechi or even his destabilization might be as simple as ABC but the ripple effect might not be palatable. There are sub-ethnic connotations that have recently come to the fore. People are talking about Ijaw versus Ikwerre in high and not so high places. Ogoni people are queuing behind Amaechi because they know only his completion of his tenure can guarantee the next governor being of Ogoni extraction. Remember their long held suspicions of the Ijaw including the wars of the 90s. Don't divide the state and Niger Delta because you must show Amaechi where the real power lies. Most importantly Mr President, you will need more than 2m votes from Rivers state to wedge against the evil opposition that has gathered against you. If you get 74% of Rivers votes you will lose the election sir. No Niger Delta or South East state should deliver less than 76% of the votes to you for your Presidency to be assured in 2015.

Mr President sir, what shall it profit you if you win the battle against Amaechi and lose the 2015 war?

Where on earth are the so called traditional rulers and elders of the Niger Delta? Why are they keeping quiet while Rome burns? Why are they taking sides in a fight between two brothers? When will you all gather and take Amaechi to the President for reconciliation? Are you waiting for anarchy to go anarchical before you show your partisan faces? Have Ghana must go bags turned you to unreasoning men of timber and saw dust? I don't want to mention your names but you know yourselves and must know that it is now or never. If you do nothing, next week might be too late. The die appears cast for a full and final showdown.

Happy Weekend!

This is welcome CRA be assured GEJ will do something. We needed maturity like this not propaganda statements. Peace unto my dear oil rich state.

Abagworo: Amaechi was a Norseman in School and not as a Speaker or Governor. Please don't mix issues here. Bipi is a member of Icelanders who are a group of touts, miscreants, dropouts and illiterates. They copied a lot from Vikings but can never be Vikings. Even as an elected official, he is still involved in the cult activities as evident from the video.

I did not say Bipi was Vikings read my post but a cultist. But I insist that CRA was a SVC while he was speaker shikena. Don't argue what you don't know.

Abagworo: Please don't mention my name in your lies and deceit. Those waterfronts do not belong to the squatters and is never their ancestral land. Amaechi in his kindness offered them well constructed and better settlements at Etche but they chose to bring tribalism in their usual manner. That Ikwerres are peace-loving and for the sake of brotherhood decided to let people live peacefully does not mean that the truth is not known.

Constructng a school in your community is now a sin.

You are the greatest lier on earth then. So Patience home at Oba-Ama directly adjacent Kalio town do not belong to her people when Amaechi planned to bring down buildings without consulting them.
You have no idea on how the waterfront came to be so I am not ready to engage you on that but continue in your lies only time will tell better.

phantom: my bro.i would very much like that too but we must remember this is a democracy and we must strive to grow way above ethnic politics.we cant move forward if we go on like this.when patience came to rivers to stop amaechi from demolishing waterfronts to build schools nobody saw it as sister fighting brother.but because amaechi insisted on oil wells being illegally removed from rivers its now brother fighting brother..lol.as for the issue of rigging,we all know how the cookie will crumble. .

Phantom I know you to be rivers man and sincere at analyzing issues. Don't act like Abagworo who is from outside but known for spewing lies. First Amaechi never handled the waterfront issue well by engaging the people. He rather in several fora threatened to use the army to flush any one that dares him. Infact at Bundu alone that fateful Tuesday over 7 persons were shot dead and corpses deposited at Moscow road police head-quarters before mass burial at cemetary. He went to patience town and threaten to remove her structure at Oba- Ama which made her to act in a silly way. I don't support her action either. The next week he suspended the okrika LGA chairman and subsequently sacked him from office.
On the oil wells, If you don know well between 1992-1997 the disputed wells caused the death of many between Kalabari and Nembe kingdom. Its age long but Amaechi presented it like fresh issues and has continued to use it as propaganda.Just last year Akwa Ibom took all known all fields from Cross-rivers while Rivers took 76 wells from Akwa ibom
