PoliticsNigeria: Do You Know The Genesis Of The Rivers House Of Assembly Crisis? by marel1(op):
That house was one of the most unified in the nation
until the removal of the duly elected Chairman of
Obio-Akpor Local Government. 5 members of the
house objected to the process used in removing him
and they described it as undemocratic and not
following due legislative process. The other 27 stuck
to their gun. The state government denied
involvement in what was purely a legislative action.
The governor appointed a caretaker chairman who
took over from the elected chairman. It later
emerged that the removed elected Chairman was
sympathetic to Minister Nyesom Wike who is
believed to have been instrumental to his getting
the ticket to contest. The other 5 legislators are also
Nwike's beneficiaries while still the Chief of Staff to
Amaechi and the most powerful local politician of
those days.
Those seeking a solution to the crisis should also
look at Obio-Akpor situation. It needs resolution
because I don't believe the constitution envisaged a
situation where an elected LGA Chairman will retain
his seat at the mercy of state legislators. If that is
the case, we need urgent amendment of the
relevant portion. That it was called "suspension"
suggests to me that a loophole in state laws was
used to effect the removal.
What does Nyesom Wike Want?
He was a local government Chairman under Odili.
When Amaechi was shoved aside by imperial
Obasanjo who described his due nomination as
having K-leg, Wike faithfully supported Amaechi.
Whereas others linked up with Omehia, Nyesom,
Chidi Lloyd and a few others were loyal to Amaechi's
cause. It is believed that Nyesom actually paid a
major part of the cost of litigation that returned
Amaechi to power as well as provided him with safe
hide out while he was being hunted by the PDP
muderous cabal of those days described then by
someone as a nest of killers.
When Amaechi was restored, he promptly
compensated Nyesom and not only made him Chief
of Staff but also the most powerful man in the
regime's first tenure. Most people familiar with the
govt will tell you that Wike was larger than life. He
acquired stinking wealth and political goodwill. But
then Amaechi has always been a strong character
himself and could think for himself.
In 2011 Nyesom wanted to go to the Senate. The
same senatorial constituency with Amaechi.
Amaechi reasoned that if Nyesom should get that
seat he will not agree to relinquish it in 2015 for
him. He opted to put a "controllable" candidate who
can be quietly eased out in 2015 for Amaechi to
become Senator Rotimi Amaechi. To compensate
Nyesom, he offered him Rivers State Ministerial slot
and actually nominated and pushed his candidacy to
the President.
Unfortunately, some guys at the presidency were too
scared of Nyesom Wike and didn't want him closer
than necessary to the President. He was appointed a
junior minister of education. What does Nyesom
know about education, talk less of the humiliation of
being junior to a female minister. The man must
hate his current job passionately and has nobody to
blame but Amaechi. That was how he became a
willing recruit in the hands of those who had issues
with Amaechi. Pay back.
Two principal issues Amaechi had with elements in
the Presidency include his confrontation with Mrs
Patience Jonathan over the demolition of PH
waterfront. Mrs Jonathan is from Okirika and in her
maiden triumphant visit to her hometown as
President's wife, her people inundated her with tales
of how Amaechi demolished the waterfront and
expelled their people from their homes. Those were
same people that have already collected millions
from Amaechi as compensation. Only God knows
what more they want. If you know the PH waterside
in question, you will praise Amaechi's courage and
determination to demolish it. It was a criminal
enclave and a major recruiting point for militants
and sundry criminals. The likes of Late Soboma
George were proud alumnus of Port Harcourt
waterfront.
Amaechi's cardinal objective in his first tenure was
security of lives and properties. He pursued it with
uncommon zeal. He would have scored zero if he
didn't demolish the waterfront. But like every multi-
ethnic environment, some people stoked the fire and
alleged ethnic bias against their people. They ran to
their most prominent daughter and complained
bitterly. Sadly, the woman they complained to
shared a common attribute with Amaechi-
abrasiveness. She forgot protocol and publicly
chastised Amaechi right before his subjects in a
public event. Even me pitied the governor who was
publicly humiliated by the wife of the President
without hearing his side of the story. But then
Amaechi would have done same in a reversed
position. They have that in common-yawoyawo.
Regardless of the foregoing, Amaechi still worked
with Jonathan and was everywhere campaigning for
him. He delivered over 2m votes which was key in
pegging back Niger-born and child voters that
showed up in Katsina and Kano. As a Niger Deltan,
he has done his bit and can be proud of that. But
even that was not enough to earn the respect and
trust of the Madam on top of our President. She
never pretended to like or approve of him. It was
only a matter of time before the two large egos will
clash again.
This time, Madam's team have a good recruit called
Nyesom Wike. They started stalking Amaechi and
imputing wrong motives to ordinary actions and
utterances. Of course he didn't help himself. He
talks too much at times. And then the issue of
Rivers-Bayelsa oil issue came up. Don't forget that
Rivers previously had issues with Abia and Akwa
Ibom on border delineation and ownership of oil
bearing land. It is common knowledge in Abia that
many of the oil wells credited to Rivers actually
belongs to Abia and even some found right within
Abia are being horizontally drilled and credited to
Rivers. At least many Abians suspect that much but
lack the resources to fight the richer Rivers.
Supreme court and boundary adjustment verdicts
still favour the highest bidder who can arrange
certain comforts including the capacity to hire the
best legal representation and navigate the top
echelon of the judiciary and boundary adjustment
commision. This is still Nigeria.
Akwa Ibom adopted a fire for fire approach in their
dispute with Rivers in their boundary dispute and
delivered a humiliating blow that cost Rivers billions
in derivation revenue and effectively made Akwa
Ibom the most liquid state in the South South and
South East. The blow was too much for Amaechi to
bear and there were suspicions that Akwa Ibom had
help from above. "Above" in this case can only mean
the all powerful Presidency. Your guess is as good as
mine as to who Amaechi/Rivers suspected of
undoing them in favour of Akwa Ibom.
It was therefore not surprising that when another
dispute arose between Rivers and Bayelsa, Amaechi
went all out to avoid further loss of land and
revenue. In a moment of carelessness, rumors have
it, Amaechi said some things that wasn't so
complimentary of the office of the President in a
state exco retreat at Obudu Cattle Ranch in Cross
River State. Someone took the tape to Abuja as
evidence of anti-Presidency stance of Amaechi. That
was quickly added to the "sins" of Amaechi for which
he must be dealt with and treated as an enemy to
the Presidency. Those who have personal and
political issues with Amaechi seized on the theme to
draw up a road map for Amaechi's humiliation. The
VP propaganda was manufactured and sold to the
President and the public. Even without any concrete
evidence of Amaechi being interested in any such
position.
Rather than quickly meet with the President to
explain his own side Amaechi dug in and tried to
fight back and protect his dignity as a person. Of
course he employed all the experience of his long
studentship at Nigeria's political school to ensure he
stays afloat. Nigerian people love the "underdog"
and hence were sympathetic to his cause. On the
other hand, Jonathan's political opponents saw an
opportunity to divide his political base and make his
re-election difficult, if not impossible. They stoked
the fire endlessly and offered Amaechi a phantom
shoulder to lean on. All they want is to use the crisis
to mess up the re-election of the President. While
the likes of Wike have seen an opportunity to pay
back Amaechi and possibly get the senate seat they
want in 2015. To booth, moribund politicians like
Odili, Omehia, Honorable Nwuche, Abiye Sekibo etc
are now caucusing together in the true spirit of my
enemy's enemy is my friend. The same gang that
raped Rivers State with impunity for 8 years.
God Dey!
Way Forward.
Amaechi should immediately take steps to douse
the tension and make up with President Jonathan
himself. Forget the wife and her antics. Forget third
parties. Do it yourself. Approach the President and
explain your position. If necessary, apologize
profusely and offer your support for his 2015
project.
It is unthinkable for the Niger Delta to lose the
Presidency and settle for anything less under any
guise or arrangement. It is terrible politics.
Moreover, if the come comes to become you will be
on your own. All the Professors in the world and the
media of the world will move on and find other
engagements. If in doubt, ask Late MKO Abiola and
Diepreye Alamisegha. Political oblivion beckons and
must be avoided at all cost, including pride. There is
nothing about Chidi Lloyds and his murderous gang
that can save you. Most likely they will negotiate for
themselves to remain in power and avoid long jail
terms. There is simply no such thing as
parliamentary immunity for attempted murder. I
was among those deceived by the media into
believing it exists. It doesn't exist.
Removing a governor is as simple as the method
applied in removing Obio-Akpor LGA Chairman. In
Nigeria, the process doesn't have to be right and
after the initial uproars everyone will move on to
other things. Be guided.
Restore the Obio-Akpor LGA chairman as a
confidence building measure. You can no longer
claim "legislative affairs" given your physical
intervention in favour of the 27 at the state house of
assembly. If you can intervene in a legislative fracas
to save the majority then you must also intervene to
restore the Chairman. There are other ways to
asphyxiate the man if you no longer like him.
Moreover, the next LGA election is only a year away
from now. He who goes to equity must go with clean
hands.
Concurrently, you must visit the battered Michael
Chinda and not only offer your sympathies but also
make sure he gets the best possible medical
treatment available in the world. Condemn without
reservation the barbaric actions of Chidi Llyolds and
your security aides and distance your self from
them. Chidi will do same to you if the heat starts
getting hot. Don't forget that Chinda is also an
Ikwerre man like you and all the 32 legislators are
your subjects and previously worked for you, just
like you worked for Jonathan previously. There is no
permanent friend or enemy in politics and a wise
man is the one who remains politically relevant.
Brave men don't last in politics and only those with
staying power can run their laudable projects. The
other side is lonely, my governor. Don't go there
with your two eyes open.
This is the time and opportunity for Mr President to
show statesmanship. He must remember that a
house divided against itself cannot stand. No sane
man uses all the powers he has and a forgiving spirit
is the true hallmark of a great leader. Removal of
Amaechi or even his destabilization might be as
simple as ABC but the ripple effect might not be
palatable. There are sub-ethnic connotations that
have recently come to the fore. People are talking
about Ijaw versus Ikwerre in high and not so high
places. Ogoni people are queuing behind Amaechi
because they know only his completion of his tenure
can guarantee the next governor being of Ogoni
extraction. Remember their long held suspicions of
the Ijaw including the wars of the 90s. Don't divide
the state and Niger Delta because you must show
Amaechi where the real power lies. Most importantly
Mr President, you will need more than 2m votes
from Rivers state to wedge against the evil
opposition that has gathered against you. If you get
74% of Rivers votes you will lose the election sir. No
Niger Delta or South East state should deliver less
than 76% of the votes to you for your Presidency to
be assured in 2015.
Mr President sir, what shall it profit you if you win
the battle against Amaechi and lose the 2015 war?
Where on earth are the so called traditional rulers
and elders of the Niger Delta? Why are they keeping
quiet while Rome burns? Why are they taking sides
in a fight between two brothers? When will you all
gather and take Amaechi to the President for
reconciliation? Are you waiting for anarchy to go
anarchical before you show your partisan faces?
Have Ghana must go bags turned you to
unreasoning men of timber and saw dust? I don't
want to mention your names but you know
yourselves and must know that it is now or never. If
you do nothing, next week might be too late. The die
appears cast for a full and final showdown.
