which section do u visit??

Politics...99.7%

All threats, warnings, and no corresponding action while Nigerian lives remained in danger.

Which section do they weild their influence? Cos I hardly know close to 40% of them.

emiye:

emiye:
yobe and borno only

Ali Modu Sherif defeated the PDP governor of Borno in 2003.

lolababe331e:
He is right however if he was a good leader his people would not br running to SA in droves so he is part of the problem. He should fix his own country then his people won't have to go elsewhere for job opportunities.

There are Americans working in Nigeria. Does that make Nigeria more "fixed" than the USA?

You won't hear this kind of words from Jonathan other than "America will know".

...did I hear somebody say talk is cheap?

PDP for d south east. Let d stagnant transformation continue!

ozoigbondu:
Another igbo advise thread why do people like taking panadol for our headache

Are you more igbotic than the author?

Quit this destination addiction. Read and think before making childish judgements.

You lots are more interested in what happens in Osun than in Abakaleke.

It is well...witht you OP

Sounds plausible...I hope this is not true.

UnknownT:
Nigeria Reporters eh!!!! Why withholding his name when you have already announced that he was the PDP senatorial candidate for Edo South constituency. Or are they expecting 2 PDP candidates contesting for one election at the same time?

The man was a HOA candidate from Edo south zone. Not the senatorial candidate.

Mogidi:
Devolution of power is what I stand for, with GEJ or without GEJ.
Excessive power in the hands of power-drunk dictator like Buhari is dangerous.
GEJ never abused his power like Buhari did in the 80s, jailing anyone that has the temerity to scrutinize his actions or inactions.

Why do you choose to be among those who lack basic understanding of the difference between the type of govt that Buhari presided over in the 80s and what is obtainable in the current dispensation? It is quite damaging to be willfully ignorant out of convenience.

Even at that, did GEJ not abuse his powers by notoriously haunting, and embarrassing Amaechi and almost setting up a parallel govt in the state?
It's on record that Opposition governors and leaders were placed under surveillance and sometimes had their movements restricted. Or you want to tell me that there was someone else running the government on behalf of GEJ, committing those abuses?

kolomax:
Oga even tinubu did the same so what's the fuss about that remember apart from politics buhari is a senior man am sure when he was head of state most of this guys are still in secondary school

Well said.

Mogidi:
I disagree with this position, the president has too much power.

Yeah!...but I'm sure you wouldn't have disagreed if the president was re-elected.

Does Gej still think those executive powers are meant for him to use? No doubt the clueless one was instructed by his "advisers" against signing it because it was a ploy by the opposition to reduce his presidential powers and "sabotage" his government

They should send it back to him the next time he gets drunk.

Meanwhile, someone please remind him that Nigerians won't require his catastrophic signature on such sensitive documents after May 29th.

raumdeuter:
Supported

Concentrated Yoruba with thick proverbs should be the language of deliberation in the House of Assembly

The place na shrine ni?

acenazt:
And when I say I hate this fools people say I am being rash. GOD where I fit find any S.A mofo.

Mtn, dstv, choprite etc

TheGoodJoe:

Gov. Amaechi did not lose. He is not running any election.

He definitely has to play a role at the National level. Someone who would have been able to fight for the Rivers and Niger Deltans.

However, the Rivers People prefers GEJ and Patience who did nothing for them. Is that not crazy.

Gov. Amaechi did not lose Rivers State. Rovers State should pray Gov. Amaechi still loves them to continue fighting for them.

I agree with you.

atlwireles:
This came from you? Amaechi will learn a basic life lesson, east or west your home will always remain the best. He has successfully made himself a strange in his own village. His worse enemies now, are his new friends. You have already thrown him under the bus. As dem say, such is life.

I respect Amaechi and still regard him as a dogged fighter (maybe hero), considering the odds against him. But I had to view the whole thing from a different perspective.
I hope he gets his desired compensation from the in-comming govt. It is only morally correct to reward hardworking loyalists without considering their political leverage (which, honestly, Rotimi Amaechi has lost).

millionaireman:
The way I am seeing things eheeem __

Under President Buhari, are you people sure that Nigeria can contain all Nigerians?

Yes. Nigeria will contain everybody as long as they are disciplined, incorruptible and law-abiding.

It is safe to conclude that Amaechi has no clout in his home state (domain). How could he be so roundly beaten twice by his rivals (no matter how powerful they are) when he still remains the Governor of the state?

Amaechi has no stronger rivals than Oshiomhole of my Edo. Osho has the Igbinedions, Anhenis, Dokpesis, Onolememes, Orbis, Ize-iyamus and numerous others (all with federal backing for impunity) to contend with, yet he was able to win One senate seat, 3 HOR, about 45% of the presidential votes, and 21 out of 24 HA seats.

I don't think Amaechi is a smart politician with popular appeal. He doesn't seem to know what to do either.

That said, Amaechi has come a long way. He gave his best for the in-comming administration and I hope they don't acknowledge him less because of this.

iyatrustee:
These people just think we are all fools! See him attributing it to 2019 elections. If he had won would there be any issues pertaining the transformer?

Yeye dey smell

Let me add that his explanation just wasn't convincing enough.

A typically shallow PDP "leader".

WJonathan and his gang of thieves ran this country like their private lives as if the world wasn't watching.

Now it has finally dawned on them that there is no peace for the wicked, and no one will shield them.
They will never be allowed to eat their loot in peace.

Sai Buhari!
Sai Nigeria!
Sai Interpol!

This is why campaigned and voted for Buhari. Not becaause I liked him.

Let them help themselves by loving themselves enough to vote credible leaders into power in SE.

They just won't get it!

Firefire:
Elected and acting in his capacity as Senate President.
The storyline now is, why would someone return to the house for FIVE times ?
For David Mark his people could be voting for him, but for Kolawole Taiwo he is been imposed and no voting before now but doctored election result been read. (Adibo tabi a o dibo, o ti wole, that is no more)
...If Nigeria election is free and fair, we shall then know who the people love.

For a person to continuously win or lose election, it has more to do with the campaign strategies of the candidate and the calibre/credibility of his opponent.

How about admitting the fact that the PDP strongmen have been "imposing" a worse option on the people of that constituency since 1999, and they just weren't strong enough to rig those candidates in?

Firefire:
Brigadier General David Alechenu Bonaventure Mark is an old fool, sorry.
After excessively amassing wealth in the military era, he and his cohorts now transformed to become politicians
I pity his people for re-electing him.
When shall they vacate and allow the younger generation to occupy ?

It's interesting how you couldn't say this when he was busy acting as GEJ's chief manipulator at the Senate, promoting impunity for PDP, and in the days leading to the election.

Firefire:
How can one person be representing an area since 1999?
Politics of godfatherism.

What do you say about David Mark and others who have been elected into political offices from one level to the other since 1999?

Some US congressmen/senators have been wining re-election for more than 30 years.
