Amaechi is OUT... I pity my man DEMDEM and HungerBAD

omenka:
This has got to be the height of junk journalism. Totally speculative, not even an "unnamed source" was quoted to have said this was the purpose of the "visit".

dridowu:
If Obanikoro could be minister despite being opposed by the 3 senators from Lagos , what will stop Ameachi as minister is not yet clear to me.





God Bless Our Hustle




God Bless Nigeria

LordMecuzy:
Senators in Rivers are deceiving illiterates na...

How Did Obanikoro become a minister when all 3 senators opposed him, Wise should just chill biko I don't see how Amaechi as a minister will affect Wike's governance in Rivers State..

Wike Should face governance in Rivers Plssssssss except he's so scared he's not going to perform and might be overthrown by Amaechi and his new found cronies in 2019...

What Fayose's PDP Know,But Wike's PDP Dont Know
Yesterday, the cantankerous Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fasoye tried to pull a masterstroke as one plays politics without bitterness when he jolted Nigerians with an unexpected statement, urging Ekiti Senators not to oppose the nomination of his predecessor, Kayode Fayemi as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
That of course earned him kudos from all and sundry. No one expected Fayose to exhibit such peaceful disposition considering what he is known best at- full scale opposition to anything APC!
This is contrary to the continued drama in Rivers state where the PDP led by Gov. Nyesom Wike has spent long hours from dusk to dawn, strategizing on how best to scuttle former Governor Rotimi Amaechi's appointment as a Minister under President Buhari.
The truth, for the benefit of those who don't know is that Fayose knows something Wike knows but pretends not to know.
There is no written rule that says that a Ministerial nominee MUST be confirmed for appointment by at least two of three Senators from his or her state.
Fayose is in touch with his people and must have been informed that there was an Executive Session yesterday in the Senate chambers were some modifications and ammendments were made.
While it is better to allow some ignorant members of the PDP in Rivers state or beyond to keep having a false sense of hope that Amaechi will not scale through the screening because of the so called 2 over 3 rule, it's important to inform those willing to know that the APC controlled Senate and Federal Government know that the right against Amaechi is a fight against Buhari and the APC.
The ruling party will never succumb to the antics of the PDP which is on a vengeance mission.
The Senators who are mostly APC especially from the North and the West know better! And for this reason, an Executive Session was held where the issue among others were discussed and laid to rest.
I will only mention the three issues raised without bothering myself to give a detailed report.
First, on the issue of two over three, reasons were given in why that rule, though unwritten was made. It was made because the upper chamber discovered a dangerous trend in the past where Ministers and Senators from their states were usually at loggerheads. In a bit to foster better co-operation and unity, it was agreed in practise that the Ministerial nominee should be confirmed by two out of three Senators from his state.
But all that has changed. Just as the unwritten rule of a first time Senator not elected as a principal officer, where there exists older members from that zone, (recall the recent case of Godswill Akpabio, a first timer versus George Sekibo over the position of Senate Minority leader), so the rule has been modified. The new rule is that the nominee should be in touch with at least two out of three Senators. Reason for the modification is that Ministers are serving the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not their states. Therefore, Ministers are not to be endorsed by their State reps.
Secondly, the former practice of the Senators from a Stare to escort a nominee out of the Senate Chambers after screening is no longer acceptable. Rather, the Senators can only shake hands with the nominee as he makes his way out of the Chambers after screening.
Thirdly, for former lawmakers who are nominated as Ministers, they will no longer take a bow and leave. They will only be questioned by the Senate President! Then they can take a bow and go.
Governor Fayose had to key in, knowing that it would be a futile attempt to oppose a strong APC nominee under the watch of majority APC Senators.
This is what none of these PDP leaders would tell their supporters in Rivers State. It's unfortunate that unsuspecting overzealous party members are allowed to wallow in ignorance. Just like some have believed in the invincibility, omnipotence and omniscience of Wike, they have failed to realize that even God who alone has such characters does not obey protocols rather He acts on principles!
The earlier readers realize that even Dino Melaye stuttered in that interview, the earlier they would understand the biblical hand of Esau but the voice of Jacob.
Truly, Change has come, even in the Senate Rules!
A word is enough for the wise.

Vote Mikel Obi for African Best Player...

Sanchez01:
What will happen at the very end: Oliseh's brawl with Enyeama would be his undoing. The dressing room would be thorn and he'd keep on pretending nothing serious took place. Enyeama would be begged by the NFF or NFA and notable Sports Journalists, the likes of Mitchell Obi, Aisha Falode and co... And then he'd return but then Oliseh would have been fired.

Oliseh is temperamental. Anyone who watched him play back then would know this. Tyranny and iron hand is not enough to impact and heighten the mindset of footballers. Ask Mourinho this and he'd tell you.

Akbee:
Shut up there cos if u decide to hang your boot both at the club and international level,football will still be played in every nook and cranny of the world.infact the sports will even become more popular than ever.
Mr Oliseh might have bn wrong there but lets not be oblivious of the fact that he is the head coach of the national team which Enyeama happens to be the shot-stooper.The boss has the final say bros Enyeama n ur just a follower.
I never knew the once humbled Enyeama could be this arrogant and still have the gusts to make it known publicly.

My folks says it's the same @ home in lag buh here in osun state, power supply is actually their pride



Buhari's body language is no longer functioning I guess..

zik4ever:
I pity Nigerians who insult each other because of politicians. Most of them are one and the same. Some people decamped to other parties due to issues with the party in ONLY their state -at heart, they have maintained their greed and networks. Watch out, across the party divide, the Senators and nominees will sort things out, strike deals and shake hands/smile to the Banks and to the brim. As we are here debating, they are meeting to arrange how next week screening will be.

dunkem21:
I will quote you and type rubbish ..

..The list is rubbish

NgeneUkwenu:
Vanguard is fast becoming a Useless Paper!


Their propaganda against Buhari is too petty, childish and irritating...

For the reminder: No Useless and idiotic Senator dare reject any nominee from that lists or the person will face immediate recall by his constituents!

Wailers, there is no story here, he has no complaint, just rehashing the usual personal beef he has with PMB..

He even commended Audu Ogbeh...

Bur in 9ja I think gift like this are mostly not just awarded to people anyhow unless they're into politics... Hope the woman isn't a political member #JezzSaying

HungerBAD:
A President that has a Heart.

I believe in you and your Government President Buhari.

If it were to be Jonathan's Government, that N268,790.00 you said should be paid, would have been converted to N268 Million Naira in the paperwork. And the rest kept in their pockets.

Continue your good job.

WE the PEOPLE of Nigeria, are SOLIDLY behind you.

Daura Security Service!

Hope the Nigerian police is aware of this. They should bring the guy in for questioning.

Sappyman:
