A tense confrontation erupted between former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and police officers at the National Assembly.

In a viral video on Tuesday, Amaechi, a former Transportation Minister, could be seen engaging in a shouting match with police operatives.

Amaechi, who attended the protest with his son – a medical doctor – said he brought him along in case the demonstration turns violent and injuries are sustained.

He explained that he came with his son to demonstrate his belief that during major protests, leaders should be at the forefront with their families.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain called on Nigerians to rise up, adding that all opposition parties ought to be on the streets to protest the Senate’s decision.

Amaechi alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is opposed to electronic transmission of election results because it fears losing elections.

Power is transient. Wike, Akpabio, Tinubu, and other politicians should take note.

I didn’t know that FTC was possible until today. High Chief, take a bow.

Please, what's available for FTC and I hope I haven't already received it by taking a bow?

Ok ooo

Not enough original content

This APC transportation minister for 8 years of President Buhari’s regime is now an adc chieftain?

This man Amaechi is one of the biggest problems of this country...

It is much expected. When you know you are losing, you scatter everything or ask to start the game again. This is basic primary school tactics.

Let NA approve mandatory transmission now, it's still the same losers that will cry for years that their votes were not counted because it wasn't mandatorily transmitted.

Amaechi is simply hungry for power seizing the opportunity of the protests to put on the garb of an activist.

Na wa, all this because of free money

Rotimi Amaechi was among those who brought the ant infested woods

Rotimi desperately seeking for attention. By the way, where is the video of the "clash"?

Gimmick

Only person I respect is Obi.

Meanwhile, APC haven't told us what is in that E-transmission that they are so afraid of.

Burob:
He is now an adc chieftain?

Go and ask your grandfather

ok wat happened again oo

The man that wants to 'save Nigeria and the masses' came to a protest in a bullet proof vehicle costing close to N650 million at todays' price, wearing a white attire costing perhaps 3 to 5 times the minimum wage of the people he claims he wants to save.

Also, last year, he announced to the world that he was hungry, and that he was living off his wife's income. So where has he found the money to maintain this horrendously expensive vehicle?

As Minister for Transportation, Mr Amaechi wasted humongous resources to build a railway to a foreign country (Niger Republic) in the crazy belief that Northern politicians would make him President of this country. He conveniently forgot to use those resources to save the Nigerian masses then.

You just have to laugh at these hypocritical politicians, and feel sorry for their deceived followers.

mascot87:
I wonder why the protesters didnt stone him as he previously said. Have they forgotten or are they cowards?

I was really surprised also, just shows say na hypocrites dey protest.

Authoreety:
This man Amaechi is one of the biggest problems of this country...

With the introduction of mandatory e-transmission of election results people like Amaechi can't find there way back to the leadership position again.

Emeskhalifa:
Gimmick

Only person I respect is Obi.

Meanwhile, APC haven't told us what is in that E-transmission that they are so afraid of .

Call your senator to find out.

Ameachi should be arrested and charged with disruption of peace, tranquility and constitutional obligations of lawmakers.


He is a statesman and should know better!

Burob:
Call your senator to find out.

Na wettin dem tell una for una WhatsApp group say make una dey talk be this?

What are you guys afraid of that you don't want the results to be transmitted electronically?

Ameachi is struggling to be relevant.

DeLaRue:
He came in N650 million bullet proof car

Ameachi and his son doesn't look hungry at all

Wow! I am surprised, if I can’t get it let’s scatter it, however I expect all well meaning Nigerians to come out for this protest

How did he became a problem?
Is he the one sponsoring boko haram or the one increasing fuel price

Burob:

This shows how f6ol-ish-ness some Nigerians are. Supporting someone keep u in bondages in 8years. Meaning that if buhari come out from grave now, Una go praise him cos he's supporting adc

Burob:

The Tinubu that claimed to makr Buhari President and supported him throughout his 8 disastrous years is who APC data boys are calling the best thing after slice bread.

Tenses:

Even Obi would not get 95% he got from the South East again.

What is tense here.

You came to protest in your jeep. Hahahahaha

Ameachi actually said sometime ago that the prophet who told him he will be one governor also told him he will become president.

The guy believes that and he's hoping he will be president.

Very gullible.

Show off, 13 more characters need ke?

Any politician that wins an election and decamps with the mandate should never be allowed to contest on another party’s platform. The man is a political prostitute

Is it possible for political parties to make candidates to swear an oath to resign from their positions if they decide to decamp? Lawyers in the House, is that possible?
