boss good pm...boys are loyal Sir...

Whynotthetruth:
To me, I think Amechi boiled lots of Rivers money in sponsoring APC...hence any buhari attempt to witch hunt/intimidate past or present PDP governors in the name of corruption fight will be met by revealing the dirt in Rivers state which was used supposedly in favour of buhari presidential campaign...this they(APC/Amechi/Buhari) want to avoid so as to have a field day while hunting down PDP leaders especially if they become a pain in the asx as opposition...
Remember, some folks are expecting APC to do TV/media prosecution of PDP leaders too as a show of buhari fighting corruption... this cannot be easy with men like Fayose, Wike etc leading the front for PDP because these guys are ready to fight dirty too & lots of treasury loot by APC/Amechi will be used to blackmail buhari if he comes after PDP men...

It was clear the case lacked merit

Efforts by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, to stop the inauguration of the State governor-elect, Chief Nyesom Wike, as the state governor on May 29 suffered a set-back yesterday as the Federal High Court sitting in Owerri Imo State, struck out a suit instituted by the governor.

The state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Worgu Boms, and the APC had in suit number FHC/OW/CS/100/2015 asked the court to stop the inauguration of Wike and the deputy governor-elect, Dr. Ipalibo Harry-Banigo, on May 29.

But at the sitting of the court yesterday, the presiding judge, Justice S. M. Shuaibu, struck out the matter on the grounds that his court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter.

Counsel to Amaechi and the APC, Beluolisa Nwofor (SAN), had argued that the court could hear the suit as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that was listed as the third defendant, the police (listed as the eighth defendant) and the Department of State Security (DSS), listed as the 10th defendant, all had offices in Owerri.

Shuaibu however did not buy the argument.

He held that by the provisions of the Federal High Court 2011, notice on the venue of filing suits and the territorial jurisdictional limits of the judicial divisions of the Federal High Court enacted by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court pursuant to section 19 of the Federal High Court Act, Port Harcourt and not Owerri is the place in which the suit ought to have been filed.

The judge said it was so because all the principal claims in the suit are against Wike, and Harry-Banigo.

Reacting to the ruling, the Chairman of the PDP in Rivers State, Felix Obuah, praised the judiciary for rising up to the occasion as the true hope of the common man.

He noted that Amaechi was a creation of the judiciary as a court judgment put him in office.
He, however, said the governor had shown only one agendum since he came to power: ridiculing and destroying the judiciary.

He stated that Wike and the PDP were ready to meet the governor in any court of law.

Obuah welcomed what he described as sound and unambiguous judgment delivered in Owerri by a Federal High Court, presided over by Justice S. M. Shuaibu in favour of Wike, over his swearing in ceremony billed for May 29.

“The PDP expresses gratitude to the judiciary over the failure of Amaechi and the APC, through his Attorney-General, to secure judgment in the matter through the back door, which it believes would have truncated the democratic process in the state,” he said.

Obuah said he felt disturbed over the desperation exhibited by the out-going governor which clearly shows his exceeding hate for the governor-elect, even when everyone is expecting a robust peace in the state.

He said: “For us, the Owerri Federal High Court judgment clearing way for the inauguration of the PDP government and swearing-in of the governor-elect, Wike, on May 29 has further strengthened our hope and conviction that no matter the distractions and destructive tendencies of the out-going Amaechi-led administration in the state, the PDP government under Wike will still succeed.

“The PDP is therefore of the view that rather than wasting its time and Rivers peoples’ resources on fruitless court cases and non-productive actions aimed at thwarting the smooth inauguration of the incoming government, Amaechi is better advised to channel his energies in joining the administration of Wike in building a united Rivers State.

“Amaechi and the APC should allow peace reign in the state by not distorting the anticipated smooth handover of government to the PDP in the state on May 29, which is sacrosanct, as the party cannot wait to deliver to the people of the state what it promised them and many more after being inaugurated.”

Fayose benefited from it, likewise the honorable comrado. If he feels he's been duped, nothing stops him from seeking justice. And I pray he finds it.

Most of you idiot arguing here never think deep to know why the incoming administration was demanding the assistance.
You will argue and abuse as much your mouth allow you and you will never ask question about zero inventory of cash Jonathan is leaving behind. You this wast generation should reason for second. Do you think Buhari is stupid as you are? Or those demanding for such don't know what they are doing? It is an avenue to burry your mentor alive. He will regret his cluelessness.
I hear many of you saying Jonathan
should not be probe for any reason, if your papa came to this world with Nigeria in his hand while he was in womb I will know. Jonathan is going to jail, no doubt about it.

mudiana:

I'll rather be dumb than be a hypocrite!

MzJackBaueress:

You TANoids are fuccking dumb. Unfortunately,Jonathan is so clueless he does not have USEFUL TIPS to give to his successor.

What a shame!

TheOnlyWiseMan:

Did Shagari give Buhari tips on how to kick-start his administration in 1984 ?

He's only creating excuse for his imminent failure.

Truckpusher:
When we called him olodo General his zombies would attack ,now the super clueless has finally realized that it's not about winning elections.

Did Yaradua give Jonathan any useful tip before his demise?

Oya o, janjawiids come and defend BABAONECHANCE on this his early morning gaff.
