Amaechi current passive stance is strategic and it is best for him. He can't frontally fight President Tinubu and he can't align with Odili, Secondus, Maeba, Sekibo, Austin Opara, etc who detest him politically. So, joining hands to form another political party is one option he can explore.

But one thing is certain, Wike influence in Rivers State is monstrous at the moment. The only thing is that being the chief accountant during Wike's tenure, Gov Fubara's hands may be tied to expose Wike's acts of looting as he might also be complicit directly or indirectly.
U nailed it .

But I think fubara is weak politically.
But if wike is d incumbent governor of d state ,no political godfada hold him Ransome.

He will finish d godfada..

Amaechi is not a politician. He would remain silent in the political space of Rivers State bcoz he doesn't have any project in the state for his 7 yrs as Minister.

2ndly, he spent so much during the primary against Tinubu. He lost a lot of money. Unfortunately for him he doesn't know how to reconcile. Reconciliation is part of politics. I expect him to have done that when Tinubu visited him after the primary. He lost the opportunity for reconciliation thinking that Tinubu would die before the election proper.

Don't also forget that even when he was Minister, all his supporters like Chidi Lyoid and other hot guys have been bought over by Wike.

Recall also the removal of Dakuku from NIMASA which was direct from Presidency.

Amaechi is not a politician by Nigeria definition.

Just look at the Chess game Wike is playing in PDAPC. His legs are in the 2 parties and he's still a force to reckon with. You do away with him at your own risk.

Tinubu gave him FCT as a compensation for the confusion he created to reduce Atiku chances in the state. That's what politics is all about.
His biggest weakness is grudge. For good 7 years, apc under him was in turmoil. He couldnt reconcile factions. He was presenting tomato can stooges as apc gov candidates in 2015 and 2023, when he had magnus abe by his side.

In 2015, apc won 2 senate seats in rivers, but amaechi killed all of that shine thru stubborness, that by 2019 the party had no candidate.

Because of his likes, apc lost edo.

In short, whatever he gained in the milestone of apcs 2015 victory he has lost over night.

Are you nigerians not foolish? why are you asking where Amaechi is? what do you want an ex governor of a state 2 administrations ago to do regarding the problem that the current governor is having with his predecessor? I thought you guys were always complaining that politicans do not want to leave office for others, but you are here askiing for Amaechi.. for what? its just like Sanwo Olu is having problems with Ambode, you are asking where Fashola is. Nigerians are utterly foolish.

Amaechi is a politician by every definition, Nigerian or not. If you don't understand politics, keep quiet. There are always realignments for different interests. Even Wike has lost some followers.

Amaechi hasn't told you he has a grudge against Tinubu. He exercised his right as a Nigerian and came second in the APC presidential primary. He has a right to choose not to be in the government.

Amaechi is on the fence
Observing proceedings...
Waiting to jump on the side that will butter his bread....
But for now, things are not looking favourable to him.
No benefits for him for now.
He’s on the fence because that’s the only accommodation available to him.

Peter Odili has already anchored with Sim so Amaechi can’t find a spot there.

Wike group both in the PDP and APC will not welcome him.

Mr Amaechi is defenestrated politically.

He is keeping low. That's his only choice until Mr Tinubu leaves office.

Nor can he go back to grievance-riven Pdp or join Labour party. No obvious political pathway for him right now.

Even after the current administration goes, I don't see a way back to the political heights he reached previously. Highly unlikely under APC because of the way he reacted after losing Apc primary, and his refusal to accept or acknowledge the President.

Things like that are not easily forgotten in politics. He is now inconsequential.
You Don't Understand Politics grin ....

It is all About Interests.... No Permanent Enemies Nor Permanent Friends But "Secular Interests" Determined By "Time & Choices" !

Who told You Amaechi is not even the one Bankrolling Fubara UnderG ....

Politics has no Moral or Immoral .... It's Just a Game of Wits & Interests ... cheesy.....

Amaechi go dey one corner dey chop him proceeds dey laugh una.

Ameachi was one of the most qualified (in terms of experience) to be President, but una say na Abagado.

4UI, he has used this opportunity to go get additional academic qualifications. He is now a Lawyer 😃 😀 😄

What else do you want Amaechi to aspire to?

Senator?
President?

He has reached the height of politics already...

Nothing like finished there.

Stop yapping finished finished finished all over the place like a lunatic.

Amaechi is in one corner enjoying his life , touring the world,,,,
And some nonentities and riffraffs are calling him politically finished...

Wetin Amaechi wan be again?

Presidenthuh

Only 0.000001 percent of Politicians end up becoming President...

Even the whole of Rivers state will not likely produce a president in the next 50 years.

For amaechi silent is the best answer...he does not want to he does not want to bring problems and wahala to rivers State...it's better for peace to reign

For amaechi is political career has gone unless he defects to labour party..... amaechi had issues with Tinubu when Tinubu won the presidential primaries and amaechi did not support Tinubu during the presidential election so he cannot go back to APC....he also had problems with PDP and Jonathan and Amaechi defected to APC at 2015....so how can he support fubsra that is in PDP after amaechi had defected to APC and ad problems with PDP at that time

garfield1:

If he doesn't consider a Senator a higher position than a Governor or a Minister, he may not aspire to be a Senator.

The only position which is unarguably higher than what Rotimi Amaechi has been is the President of Nigeria.

Except for people that are looking for more money to chop, most people consider a Governor higher than a Senator.

A man who is already loaded with money like Amaechi may not be motivated to be a Senator.

Which political career again.?

You think it's everyone that wants to die in politics?

A southerner like Amaechi who's already around 60 years old knows that he can't have a shot at the Presidency until 2039.

He will be about 75 years old.

I bet you a smart man like Amaechi knows that having failed to be President in 2023,
It is over for him.

Nothing else to aspire to.

...how old is tinubu... Tinubu is now 72 years as president and Buhari was 80 years when he completed his 2 ND tenure as president..so amaechi can also contest as president at 75 years old

So are you saying that all politicians who did not have a Presidential ambition or that all politicians who did not make it to be President failed in the Political careers?

In that case 99.99 percent of politicians failed na!

... but the GEJ's sin against him didn't bury GEJ politically? Dey deceive yourself. When Amaechi was suspended from PDP and another River's state PDP faction was recognised by NWC instead of that of the Governor,what did GEJ do to correct the situation?

Amaechi didn't handle the pre and post primary elections well - he acted like a baby.
