2015..It's either Jonathan wins or APC loses!

Amanwulu1:
Mr MADDEST keep demonstrating in d market square. No more cure for ur madness.

What I continue to admire about Mr President is his resounding silence on Amaechi in all these apparent madness

You see why I call him an alarmist,
The above statement is not something that should come from a state governor. He has tried at every given opportunity to demean the Presidency and the wife of a man who doesn't even mention his name.
A question for Amaechi, why award contract arbitrary without due documentation and also release full funds without the contractor even executing the job, what happened contract bond and Advanced payment guarantee APG and why allow them share the money meant for Rivers people as if you are giving your personal money.

Rivers State Governor and Chairman of a faction of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has alleged that his refusal to surrender the state coffers to Dame Patience Jonathan led to the problem he was having with the Presidency.


He also blamed the resurgence in militancy and kidnapping on the backings the criminals were allegedly receiving from powers that be but assured that he would not renege on the oath of office to secure the state.

“Remember, when I became governor, I fought militancy.  Right there where you built a new house, there used to be a hole where they pass into the river and escape.  The security report reached me and I came here and chased the militants away.  I asked them to fence the school premises and block that hole. I have to protect you because, it is my responsibility.  Some of the militants went to Lagos, Ivory Coast, Ghana etc.


“Today, they are back because the wife of the President brought them back to protest against me.  I refused to give them money in Abuja because if I do that, I won’t be able to carry out any development project or finish the road from Rumuolumeni to Rumuepirikom.  The quarrel between me and the wife of the President is because she said I should bring your money, Rivers people money and share with her", Amaechi alleged.

He called on Rivers people and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to resist the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) from manipulating and rigging the 2015 general elections in the state.
Amaechi stated this yesterday during the joint graduation of students of University of Ibadan and Pioneer graduands of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education held at Rumuolumeni, in Port Harcourt.


He also expressed fears that if the PDP was allowed to rig and manipulate the election and President Jonathan was voted into office in 2015, poverty and underdevelopment would crumble the state.

According to him, “Now that, you are graduates, you are now eligible voters that can use your voters’ card to change society.  Ask yourselves this question that I have always asked Rivers people.  What have we (Rivers people) done to President Jonathan that he has refused to bring any project to Rivers State.  We had to fight them before they could do the East-West road. I had to abuse the federal government and they abused me back, before they could do the work you now see on that road. Our President, from the South-South has taken our oil wells from Soku in Rivers State to Bayelsa State. What about the 41 oil wells in Etche that was given to Abia State? Is the President or his wife from Abia State?  Why do they want us to suffer?  If President

Jonathan comes back to power in 2015, Rivers State economy will crash".

He frowned at the consistent shortfall in oil revenue and the negative impact it had created to frustrate innocent Nigerians and urged the graduands to question the inconsistencies of the federal government.

“Graduands like you have the opportunity to ask the federal government to explain what they are doing with our money.  Since September this year, federal government has not been able to pay any state from the federal allocation. They said, they don’t have money.  This is the first time that our President is emerging as the 6th richest person in Africa", Amaechi said.

Amaechi equally tasked the graduands to register as eligible voters ahead of the 2015 general elections.

He further blamed the failure of the Rumuolumeni road construction project to an indigene of the area and described Nyesom Wike as a Minister who was incompetent.

“I told the people of Rumuolumeni that we have awarded N1.5 billion for their internal roads and have also paid the indigenous contractor who is from the area the sum of N700 million.  We said, Rivers money for Rivers people, because they don’t have capital.

“This man took the contract and gave it to a man who now wants to be governor. This man that is being backed by Mrs Jonathan gave N250 million to the indigenous contractor and disappeared with N450 million without constructing the road.

“And this is the man who wants to be governor, with billboards screaming the concept of New Vision.  What kind of vision is that for a thief?  They have been thieves for too long, so it cannot be new vision.

“The only thing that is new is that he has industrialised stealing.  The former Minister of State for Education in a radio interview said, he 'shedded tears'. Everyone knows there's no word like that", he said.

I love this man!
It's too early but permit me to shout this morning.....GEJ till 2019!

Demdem:

Hmmmm, u sound like wike supporter. Kindly deny if not.

Am not sir, have you been to PH lately and can you deny the statements above on Amaechi?

But being in a member of a political group does not preclude anyone from agitating for the release of the girls.
However, it's wrong for any political party to use BBOG struggle as part of its campaign

justitiaomnibus:
With all this heavy weight, if. PDP wins... APC will say its "Undermilitarisation" since there won't be many military personnel in states in 2015 elections.

Imo state deserves better governance than we are currently seeing. Hopes were so high with Rochas coming in to power but few years down the line, what we have today is simply a case of "over expectations and anti climax"
I wish they get it right in the next elections

I like Obi, he's style of administration is so unNigerian.
Met him aboard an commercial flight once, economy for that matter and he was so simple and cool all through the flight.
He opened up a lot of villages through wonderful road network, and you could easily drive and connect different towns within a small time frame.
I only pray Obiano consolidates on his good work and does even more.
As per his defection, I leave him with his decision.

God bless Anambra!

kenbee:
Agbaso owns it, period!

I have no problem with his candidature as I don't know much about him,
But are you insinuating Rochas will lose to him?

Unless I see the sms alert or....adonbilivit

Ara as in madness or......?

Many judges will be jostling to head his next impeachment panel,

Welcome back to the fold,
Imo state PDP governorship primaries won't be an easy one with the likes Ararume, Ikedi Ohakim, Emeka Ihedioha, Martin Agbaso and co all in the race

texazzpete:
The way some of you clowns talk, one would think you want Nigeria to remain a one-party state.

And can you pls tell me the difference bw the two major parties you have. What we have are politicians jumping from one party to another to serve their selfish interest.
My problem is with a governor who started so well in his first tenure and somehow allowed himself to be derailed by praise singers and opportunists who made him believe he's a superstar.
My problem is with a governor whose only news line is Jonathan and PDP as if those are his daily nightmare experiences.
My problem is with a governor who single handedly removed an elected council chairman and yet shouts of persecution by the president.!

Whether he is best fit or right fit,
There's no vacancy in Aso till 2019!

Noise maker!
Can someone pls beg Amaechi to utilise just a quarter of the the loan he procured to rehabilitate most of the bad roads in PH begging for his attention.

Off post; am not supporting Wike for governor but the massive crowd he pulled today must be giving Amaechi serious migraine

The soft part of me is no 5

Mehnnnn....see headdddd

ahmed486:
In what seemed like a speech prepared to incite Rivers State youths against President Goodluck Jonathan, Governor Chibuike Amaechi urged youths in the state to vote out the President in 2015.

He pointed out that it has become necessary for Rivers people to vote against President Jonathan because of the hatred he has shown against people of the state.

Amaechi and his noise disgusts me!
He has no moral right to open that mouth of his and spew any trash against anyone. A drive around most of the roads in PH will only force you to ask what he does with all the funds accruing to the state,both federal and internally generated.
Let Amaechi like it or not, GEJ will surely contest and win the 2015 election....by then, he may choose to die or commit suicide!

ChimeChimezie:
Nina, who contracted Ebola while treating Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan at the Emory University hospital in Texas, is now free from the virus after being successfully treated at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. When President Obama heard she was Ebola-free, he sent word to her asking if he could hug her and she agreed to meet him.

If it were you, will you dare to hug her?

As for me i cant't o

Just one word; Leadership!

joseph1832:
This proves that jonathanians actually rushed to rescue their leader from defeat.

No probs, ask Buharians to do same.
It's called politics

Am not surprised, every election not won by APC is always rigged.
Sore losers!

Pennywise:
No use wasting your vote. GEJ is out. He will try to rigg election as usual. If you live in the North or the west you should be more concerned about surviving post election violence. I hope the military will have the good sense to stay out of our civil life.

No vote for GEJ will be wasted and anyone that incites post election violence will rounded up and prosecuted!
