Thank you so much bros.. You mind if i ask you some questions about resident permit in Hungary?

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio, met behind closed doors in Abuja on Thursday to deliberate on the polarisation of the Peoples Democratic Party governors.

It was gathered that at the meeting, Akpabio also solicited Obasanjo’s support for President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid in 2015.

Akpabio, who chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, was said to have used the opportunity of the meeting which was attended by a PDP chieftain, Otunba Oyewole Fasawe, to solicit for the intervention of the former President in ending the differences among the governors.

He was said to have told Obasanjo that the ongoing acrimony among the governors was not good for the image of the PDP and its determination to win the 2015 presidential election.

Since the conduct of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum election, which was won by Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, the PDP governors have continued to exchange hot words on the pages of newspapers.

While those who supported Amaechi’s opponent , Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State, have continued to accuse those in the other camp of betrayal, supporters of the winner said it was victory for democracy.

The outcome of the election had resorted in the NGF having two secretariats.

Also, some of the governors, like Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, have warned that winning the PDP presidential primary by Jonathan would not be a guarantee that he would triumph during the presidential election.

Lamido, who is known to be very close to Obasanjo, is one of the four governors from the northern region that visited Amaechi in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. The others were Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa).

At the meeting, Obasanjo was said to have listened with rapt attention when Akpabio solicited his intervention to smoothen the relationship between the President and the governors.

Though the former President was said not to have made any commitment, it was gathered that Akpabio was working towards bringing Obasanjo and Jonathan to come together and discuss.

Akpabio, who is also close to the former President, was said to have expressed his worry on how the former President had distanced himself from the activities of the PDP.

A source privy to the meeting which held at Hilton Hotel said, “It was a brief meeting, where the former President listened with rapt attention as Akpabio spoke. But unexpectedly, he did not make any commitment. But I think that President Jonathan would want to meet with the former President.”

Obasanjo was said to have immediately left for Zimbabwe after the meeting while Fasawe went to the headquarters of the PDP for a discussion with the party’s National Chairman, Dr. Bamanga Tukur.

Fasawe confirmed the meeting but declined to give details.

“But you know my relationship with Chief Obasanjo,” was the answer he gave when asked to speak on issues that were discussed at the Hilton Hotel meeting.

Meanwhile, members of the National Working Committee of the PDP have been asked not to turn Anambra State into an “oil well” during the forthcoming governorship election in state.

The PDP stakeholders in the state, who stated this at a meeting they had with the leadership of the party at its headquarters, called for transparency in the conduct of the primary.

The meeting was held as part of preparations for the November 16 governorship election in the state.

The stakeholders were drawn from groups within the party in the state.

Among those who spoke at the meeting were a former Governor of the state, Chief Chinwoke Mbadinuju; a former Chairman of Police Service Commission, Chief Simeon Okeke; a former Minister of Health, Prof. A.B.C. Nwosu; a governorship aspirant, Prince Nicolas Ukachukwu, and Mrs. Bridget Obi.

Obi said, “It is only in Anambra State that primaries are held in three different hotels and results would not be announced until they get to a police station.

“My plea is that, please don’t make Anambra your new oil well. Resist temptations in order to succeed.”

The meeting resolved that all members of the state PDP would work in unity to ensure victory for the party during the election.

They also said that all those who have cases in court should withdraw them failing which the party would take severe disciplinary measures against them.

While they said that no member of the party in the state shall institute any suit on any matter affecting the conduct of the forthcoming congresses and primary election for the November governorship election, they however warned that the PDP must not be partial during the polls.

Sincere 9gerian: The president does not have to fight anybody. The presidency is too big for that. All the president has to do is to look the other way while lizards (the enemies Amaechi made over the years) attack Amaechi.

What will d President do when he defeated such lizards.

kennybuda: I know her in person, she is very difficult person and she knows how to handle 9ja people.

Did you know about their Tourist visa application process.

Sincere 9gerian: Suddenly the governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, is now playing a victim while emergency activists and some rascals are shifting the blame to the president.

Prof Wole Soyinka and Femi Falana have already kicked off 'Save Amaechi' and 'shift the blame to the president' campaigns. The House of representatives has also stepped in, taking sides with their friend Amaechi, called for the removal of the state commissioner of police and tried to take over the lawmaking function of Rivers State House of Assembly.

But where were these activists and other rascals when Amaechi was gathering ant-infested firewood? Were they deaf, blind and DUMB when Amaechi was doing all of the following:

1 Turned the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) to a trade union and a tool for fighting the president
http://www.punchng.com/news/amaechis-govs-forum-is-a-trade-union-presidency/

2 Used the NGF to fight policies of the president including the creation of Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF)? For the records, the process of creating the SWF was supported by these same governors through the National Economic Council (NEC) before the 2011 elections. But after 2011 elections, the NGF, under the leadership of Amaechi turned 360 degrees to oppose the SWF.

3 Attacked the FG over the East-west road. Has Amaechi finished constructing all the state roads in Rivers State?

4 Accused the president of being responsible for the oil wells it lost to Bayelsa state. For the records, there have been several instances of states fighting over oil wells including the latest between Anambra and Kogi, but none has accused the president of taking sides.

5 When Amaechi accused the FG of neglecting federal roads in the state because the president is 'fighting' him. For the records, every state has some measure of federal roads in dare need of attention but none has attributed the state of these roads to personality issues. Some state govts have even reconstructed hundreds of kilometre of federal roads,eg Akwa-Ibom without any media war.

6 Through the rubber stamp state house of assembly, Amaechi sacked elected local govt chairman and councillors

7 Amaechi accused the presidency of grounding his aircraft whereas it was his pilot that failed to submit the flight manifest as required by law.

8 Started attacking the state commissioner of police. For the records and as we speak, ALL opposition governed states (Lagos, Anambra, Imo, Ogun, Ondo, Nasarawa,etc) are in good working relationship with their respective state commissioners of police. Why is that of Amaechi different?

9 T[b]hrough the rubber stamp state house of assembly, Amaechi seized the allowances of the 5 anti-Amaechi Rivers State lawmakers

And so and and so forth.

Where were these emergency activists and PAY-AS-YOU-GO pro-democracy activists when Amaechi was gathering this magnitude of ant-infested firewood? Why the alarm and why accuse the president of inaction now that lizards are beginning to gather around Amaechi?[/b]

My question to you in this matter is what is the concern of GEJ/PEJ in this matter, d Rivers Factional PDP and Wike. You guy keep saying the presidency and his wife is not involve... so why are you arguing linking the rivers crisis to Amaechi suppose sins to the President.

Why is the President afraid to confront Amaechi directly and fight him through proxy?

Why is the Presidency not man enough to confront their battle??

The PDP said the protesters were showing their disapproval of the governors’ visit.

The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condemned the Tuesday visit of the governors of four northern states to the embattled governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi.

The party also cautioned the Rivers Commissioner of Information and Communications, Ibim Semenitari, to observe decorum in her comments on issues pertaining to the state which the party said are inciting and portraying the Rivers people in bad light.

The governors: Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), and Babangida Aliyu (Niger), who is also the Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum, NSGF, paid a solidarity visit to Mr. Amaechi in Port Harcourt.

The party, in a statement issued and signed by the Special Adviser to the State Chairman on Media, Jerry Needam, said the visit of the governors and that of the Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka were unnecessary, adding that it could aggravate the political crisis in the state.

“On the visit by the Governors of Jigawa, Kano, Niger and Adamawa States as well as Prof. Wole Soyinka, we see it as unnecessary, and it is only meant to aggravate the political crisis in the state.

“It’s the like of these visitors from across the country that is encouraging Amaechi not to have regard for the Rivers people, elders and constituted authorities in the state which is unfortunate.

“This visit to Amaechi is certainly political and aimed at aggravating the crisis in the state and is therefore not welcomed by the people of the state.

“We also condemn in very strong terms Mrs. Ibim Semenitari’s attempt to link the Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike to the protest against the visit of the four Northern governors to Government House, Port Harcourt.

“This is another strategy to divert the attention of the public from the numerous evil plots by Gov. Amaechi to ensure there is no peace in the state, so that he will continue to rip off the state with his few acolytes”, the PDP Media Adviser declared.

The convoy of the visiting governors was attacked by the anti-Amaechi protesters in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, with the PDP saying the youth were just protesting the governors’ visit.

The party said Mrs. Semenitari was not informing people rightly in her desperate bid to save Mr. Amaechi, who it alleged was busy creating more crises in the state. Mr. Needam alleged that the peaceful protest by a group of Rivers youth who gathered at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa on Tuesday morning was apparently to disapprove of the solidarity visit to Gov. Amaechi by four Northern Governors.

It claimed that while Mr. Amaechi remained recalcitrant and was bent on creating more confusion in the state, the information commissioner “continued to leave her mouth wide open to lie to the unsuspecting Rivers and the Nigerian people.”

The Rivers PDP said it wondered when it became conventional for governors and politicians to pay solidarity visits to their colleagues in other states, abandoning their own responsibilities at home, if they were not taking advantage of a tele-guided fellow who had turned the state to a goldmine to all manner of diggers at the expense of the deprived starved Rivers people.

Mr. Needam added that while the party would not support any group of persons in whatever guise to indulge in any act that could breach the peace or brew crisis in the state, it demanded to know why Mrs. Semenitari would always describe those opposed to her principal’s excesses as thugs whether they were expressing their views in newspapers, on radio or physically.

It claimed that when such protestations were in favour of Mr. Amaechi, such persons were hailed as solidarity visitors.

kasiem: has amaechi tried visiting gej and gej shuts his door against amaechi? okay, u want gej to run to him and bless his faction?

Why do you expect him (Amaechi)to run visiting GEJ for beg him for mercy or favour.. bros there is a word call integrity. After all, all men are born equal and the quality of a man is his ability to fight for what he believe in whether good or bad.... For me... Amaechi is a true symbol of true man with courage? He do not allow the political power of the presidency to intimidate him asking about his rights.... so his actions are tolerable for any rightful thinking person

atlwireles: He is huge in rivers,then the people of rivers will vote for Yoruba and hausa ticket? Why don't most of you talk about
things you have a clue about

Where did u got dis ur assumption from??... Mr fish brain

jmaine: When your ready to engage in a more robust debate, please hit me up.

Your childish tantrums and straw grasping won't help our cause of having a stimulating exchange of views . . .

Feel free to engage in your foolery until a better and well versed poster engages me . . .

Ranting again!!!

jmaine: Says a fellow whose shallow and repulsive post was consistently punctured.

You need to go call your betters for a worthy engage on this thread . . .

You obviously want to deviate from the topic, so am leaving you to continue living in your ignorant paradise... long live the intelligent mugu of our time

jmaine: Another loads of rubbish . .OBJ, Tinubu et al., are powerful and influential politically in Nigeria . .

Your aimless tripe can't invalidate that simple sentence . .

Keep straw grasping to no where . . .

You are just ranting and making no common sense... You obviously want to deviate from the topic, so am leaving you to continue living in your ignorant paradise... long live the intelligent mugu of our time

jmaine: Another empty irritating post. You went on a ramble without really saying anything . . .

Doofus, OBJ, Tinubu et al., are powerful and influential men in the polity, you don't just go hounding them any how.Amaechi pedigree pales against them in the political power game of Nigeria. Ibori who ran helter skelter was also powerful and influential until when the elements of the presidency was unleashed on him. . .

Your shallow thought process is appalling. . . .Please take a break lest you embarrass yourself further . . .

Ignorance is bliss. Been Powerful is different from been influential. The likes of OBJ, Tinubu are political influential but they cannot be said to be powerful because you need authority (Political Post) to exercise your power... That is why people keep saying OBJ choose Yar-dua, so that he can rule by proxy.... so Mr. Dim-witted, read your book very well before you exhibit and infected the little one with your nonsensical and absurd theory in public forum.

jmaine: Your one of those political toddlers whose naivety is unquestionable . .

With power comes influence, you can't influence what you have no power over . . .

You need refund your pay masters for an embarrassing display on this thread . .

You just shows the whole world how dump you are.... a sitting governor political power is base on authority of his office while an ex-governor political power is base on influence (personal good-will) which is very subjective??

I expect you to have difficulties in comprehending the above statement because it is meant for only the intelligent readers... which I know you are not...

Maxymilliano: https://premiumtimesng.com/dev/wp-content/files/banners/al_Mustapha_431357560_206139632.jpg

The court upturned the judgement of a Lagos High Court.
The Court of Appeal in Lagos has discharged and acquittedHamza Al-Mustapha from the murder of Kudirat Abiola.

The judgment overturns that of the Lagos High Court which sentenced him to death by hanging.

The presiding judge accused the lower court of being“stroked to secure a conviction by all means.”

Mr. Al-Mustapha was a former chief security officer to the late dictator, Sani Abacha.

He was sentenced to death on January 30 for conspiracy and murder of Mrs. Abiola.

Mrs. Abiola, 45, was shot in Lagos on June 4, 1996, as the lower court ruled, on the orders of Mr. Al-Mustapha.

Details later…

Another attempt by the Presidency to throw confusions between the SW and the North people.... Good strategic but let see how this play out

Samabu07: Soldiers are stationed in yenagoe, Government House. Even at times there are gun battle between Soldiers there and Militants. Its very possible for soldiers stationed in Rivers. The Niger Delta security can be threatening.
I served in Bayelsa 2012!!!

We are saying the same thing bros

jmaine: Look at him . .an Ibori out of Govt was way more powerful than an Amaechi in govt . . Your such a shallow thinker bruv . .its like comparing an OBJ with any of the sitting governors in the PDP despite not been in Govt . . Are you kidding me ?

if your looking at the immunity clause then you know nothing . . .There are various loop holes to exploit at the behest of the presidential powers

You lack argument superiority, you just keep jumping from one off-topic to another.... all because you want to make a point.... influence is different from power. Equip your self well with facts next time you make any attempt to defend your paymaster.... ciao

jmaine: He is just indifferent but not involved . .

If he desires to actively get involved, then look towards the Strong Man Ibori who ran helter skelter out of the shores of Naija. Then GEJ wasn't even sure of having this tenure yet . . .

Comparing a sitting governor to an ex-governor shows you lack political sophistication.

jmaine: it's your ignorance that is corrosive and dangerous . .

An appeal from the Amaechi camp doesn't erode the current validity of the Nyesom Wike faction. Things will only change when the Appeal court rules otherwise.

So right now , pending the Appelate Court Judgement, the Wike faction run things .Your emotional pain cannot change that simple fact.

Your next response should please make more sense cos am beginning to get bored with your false toga of knowledge . .

What things did you think they are running they attempt to impeach the speaker with just 5 members or what again?
