Wait 1st,what has government to do with controlling of water level in d river? If d govt fail 2 sensitize d populace on threatening flood,isn't at dat point d government be blamed? My opinion though.

Acidosis:
Buhari has finished this country.


No single plan for the masses, just word of mouth and disgusting promises!

warrior01:
Can you imagine telling someone to shut up in his own house? What an audacious act though it can only happen in a master- slave relationship. Thanks to the few courageous ones that gives me hope. More respect to FFK

oh boy....see English!!!

APC: Active Professional criminals. Am not surprise because we know how their godleader ruled lagos state before spreading out. This is not a change but a conspiracy to forcefully remove the opposition from the race. So far so long, there has been no re-run in all the APC rulling states or would they argue it that petitions were not submitted to the tribunal and that there was no rigging in their elections(winnings). We must get to the fact that CHANGE should be random(re-run of elections where riggings took place) and not loopsided. My question is, if(conditional statement) PMB looses in 2019, will he accept defeat just as jonathan did or lead nigeria into her second civil war by not accepting the defeat? Answer the question in your heart.

you have to understand the politics of each state and apply caution when carrying out functions. The politics of rivers state is a politics of warlords and gangsters . Forget federal might or army,when the chips are down nothing works again.what seems to be happening now is the FG seems to be setting the place up for groups and gangs to fight and clash eventually this may or will lead to a state of emergency in that state.

Truckpusher:
And the EFCC is now deaf ,blind and dumb to the outcry of the Rivers state people over the massive looting of the state treasury by Amaechi? yet Akpabio was invited ,Jona Jang was invited and a whole lot of others.

Amaechi refused to answer to a panel of inquiry set up to probe his stewardship which he refused and mocked yet Mr integrity deemed him fit to become a minister......smh

Shame on you.

peppyluv02:
You really don't have any reason to insult his father. And he clearly didn't insult anyone unlike other posts. How many APC fans did you insult when they insulted GEJ or PDP fans when they insult Buhari. This is a daily occurrence on the politics section but I haven't seen you scold any of those hard core tribalists and party fans.
You picked the person you feel is quiet,I bet your father is in no way better than his father. Fool!

bennywise30:
People that are close to WIKE should advice him to release those IPOB members that were arrested ,with that been done i believe the igbos will willing vote for him because i don't think the igbos seeking for biafra will vote for apc,they will just sit at home on that day and very sure pdp and wike will come out of this with victory ,i can belt my money on this .apc will go down with shame

dinachi:
If you are Igbo, then I am happy for you because it appears our people are gradually removing themselves from Ijaw slavery. This time around, the Igbos should not vote based on PDP and Wacko Wikes sentiment. Dakuku Peterside from Opobo an empire that was founded by an Nkwerre man King Jaja of Opobo once openly declared that they owe their ancestry to Igbos! Wike for jail, Dakuku for Governor. Ka Chineke mezie okwu!

TonyeBarcanista:
Rivers state is a multiethnic society but one thing that has kept us together in fairness, equity and unity of purpose. As the rerun election approaches, many riverians look forward to return Nyesom Wike to Government House as they did in April 11. Though I recognise that the good people of Rivers state will return Wike to power, this article is to lay support to the decision of Rivers people.

1. Riverine/Upland Agreement Has No Effect On Wike:
While it is true that since 1999, the upland has been occupying the number one seat of rivers state, it is also true to recognise that Nyesome Wike wouldn't have been the candidate of the riverine communities IF a riverine person had done what he did to challenge the madness of ex-governor Amaechi and his APC mad house. Wike was not the only minister from rivers state during Jonathan's era, he was however, the only one that stood his ground, defended Jonathan, an illustrious son of the Niger delta, got insulted and abused by the APC and their agents on Jonathan's behalf. Dakuku Peterside, though a riverine man is unfit to preach the riverine/upland agreement when he was the same person that vigorously campaigned against Jonathan for his parochial interest and made a fool of himself on March 28 to please his masters in Bourdillon road and Daura. It was Wike that stood by the Rivers people, it was Wike that stood by our brother Jonathan. So if we the riverine communities are to consider voting based on "sentiment", it is NYESOM Wike that fits the bill. Dakuku's master, Amaechi once declared that Jonathan, an Ijawman isn't his brother, Wike never denied the brotherhood between himself, an Ikwerre man and Jonathan. As a riverine, Dakuku is our blood brother, but he doesn't represent us.

2. Ikwerre Deserves The Position:
The spirit of Rivers state is one that promotes unity and give everyone a sense of belonging. It is fair that the Ikwerre nation, produce the Governor of the state since the Senator representing Rivers East, George Sekibo is a riverine man from Okrika. It is only fair and deserving that the Ikwerre nation produce the Governor. Rivers state is known for fairness. We gave mandate to Peter Odili, an Ndoni man in 1999 and 2003 not considering the minority population. In 2007 we shifted the mandate to Celestine Omehia/Rotimi Amaechi, not minding the fact that he's an uplander. In 2011 we returned Amaechi to power because we believe that the Ikwerres deserve an unbreakable 8years in office. In April 11, we dumped Peterside but queued behind Wike despite his Ikwerre root because we saw the spirit of Rivers in him. It is time to once again tell the Ikwerres that their son is indeed worthy of the mandate that the court erroneously voided. Upland or Riverine, Rivers is not divided.

3. Like Abiye Sekibo, Like Dakuku Peterside:
To those that may not know, Sekibo is an Ijawman from Okrika. Despite being an Ijaw son, his kinsmen(we) have vowed never to thumb-print for him in ANY election. In fact, it is safe to state that it is easier for the son of the Sultan of Sokoto to be elected Chairman of Okrika Local government than for Sekibo, a son of the soil. The reason is simple, Sekibo as SSG and Minister (under Obj) pioneered cultism and never brought development in the state. He brought riverine sentiment against Amaechi in 2011 as ACN candidate but was highly defeated in the riverine region(and the entire state)

On Peterside, he positioned himself as an enemy of Niger delta, Rivers state and the riverine people by his disgraceful drama during the Presidential election. He led his thugs to demonstrate against the will of the people when they thump-printed for Jonathan. Peterside has positioned himself to be seen as one that seeks to please his external masters. He's a puppet that is best suited for an appointment as PA to his master Rotimi Amaechi.

4. APC Government In Rivers State Was Disaster:
While the PDP government of Rotimi Amaechi that lasted between 2007 and 2012 was one of the best in the history of the state, the APC government of Amaechi that lasted between 2013 and sent parking in May 2015 was the WORST government ever in Rivers state. It was the APC government led by Amaechi that shut down the courts and state house of assembly, and also put the state in comatose. Amaechi's APC government refused to pay salaries for 3months and failed to appoint Chief judge of the state. Wike led PDP government came on-board and reversed the madness. Amaechi's APC government that we have thrown into the dust bin of history is Dakuku personified.

I believe in the true spirit and determination of rivers state to seal up the dust-bin that APC belongs. Our state can not be led by one that is not for us.

I am tired of both parties. They are just diverting attention from the failure of the other.

My wish is for PDP to go through another disgrace.

49cents:
Wike has a germaine argument; it has never happened that a party sweeps the house of assembly, senate and house of reps then loose in the gubernatorial

Even APC man Jega confirmed the elections were okay

Buhari is a real two faced man
