Are you a fan of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'?

Barcanista well said. Ameachi is becoming too excited.

I just read that he's supporting mutiny. No matter what, you never and I mean never support illegality and he must always ensure to get his facts right as the campaign DG. As you said, anything he says will be attributed to Buhari.

My Governor,

Permit me to congratulate you on your recent appointment as the Director General of APC Presidential campaign. I am optimistic that you will work towards the return of the people's General successfully.

Sir, I am pained and worried by statements credited to you which bothers on "forming an illegitimate government should PDP is rigged into power without passing through the court". This statement is reckless, inciteful and condemnable. Sir, your capacity as DG Buhari campagin means all your actions and inactions are interpreted as that of Buhari's. Please Sir, kindly desist from this lane so as not to heat up the polity. We must respect the courts and the laws in pursuance of any mandate. The same constitution that establish the electoral process is the same constitution that establish the court. Trampling on any section of the constitution under the guise of stolen mandate is uncivil, inhumane, unacceptable and highly condemnable. I enjoin you Sir to focus on mobilisation of votes for the APC and massive voters enlightenment.

Sir, may I end this open letter by wishing you a successful yuletide and God's guideance as you round up your tenure as the Governor of Rivers State. May God also grant the APC the victory in February 2015 poll.
God bless you Sir!


Best Regards

Although i totally agree with the OP's assertions, one must not lose sight of precedence. The decision not to challenge the 2015 presidential elections at the courts is not Amechi's, it is a position taken by the leadership of APC. Cramjones had been hinting us of that position here on Nairaland for over 6 months now. Amechi only recently spoke of their position.

Results of litigations from previous presidential elections have shown that no matter the level of Rigging and irregularities, you can never get judicial victory against the inumbent PDP government. INEC conducted the 2007 election without serializing the Ballot paper which is clearly against the electoral act (and even common sense), but the supreme court held by a vote of 4 to 3 that the elections were valid and legal. It is like printing money without serial numbers. How can the total number of ballot papers printed and used be determined? The elections were so flawed that even the winner (Yar Adua) shamefully admitted that the elections were flawed, and yet the courts saw nothing wrong with the elections.

For a person to win a presidential election petition, the petitioner must first prove that there was gross irregularities in the elections(across the whole nation) and then go on to prove that the irregularities affected the outcome of the elections. Meanwhile all the evidence lies with INEC which often times are highly uncooporative. When you add complicity of the courts, what you have is Mission Impossible.

So anyone challenging a presidential elections at the court will only waste his/her money and time, the courts can never pronounce against an incumbent government. The only option left for aggrievedlosers is to quietly accept their fate or look for alternative means to challenge the results.

I am not advocating or in support of violence, but when people lose fate in the judiciary, anything can happen.

Jonathan has been proven to be a curse to the Nigerian Nation. All sane Nigerians should work towards chasing the fool away. I understand Amaechi passion which is to get rid of this curse bedeviling us but he should be cautious about it.

Mission impossible is doing the same things over and over again and expect a different result

Mission impossible is nominating a man who has lost 3 elections and expect him to win the 4th just by changing his cloths to dinner suits

Mission impossible is nominating a 72year old former military dictator and expect him to win elections in a digital Nigeria where 70% of the population are less than 40 years old

Mission impossible is attempting to defeat an incumbent President without a clear economic agenda that will lift Nigerians out of poverty

Elections are not only free and fair when the opposition wins. APC have not done their home work as far as 2015 is concerned. They will fail again and posterity will judge them harshly if they fail to do the gracious thing if they loose by conceding defeat but rather plunge this Nation into violence and bloodshed.

amaechidaft has been proven to be a curse to the Nigerian Nation. All sane Nigerians should work towards chasing the fool away. I understand Amaechidaft passion for violence and stupidity which is to get rid of the peace among us but he should not be cautious about it.
