Achievement should be measured vis a vis the resources at the disposal of any administrator. Only those with mental retardation will make the dubious comparison btw Amaechi and his predecessors. A diligent inquiry would show that the money available to Amaechi in 8yrs is more than the sum total of what was available to all his predecessors. In 8yrs, Rivers state IGR and federal allocation was in excess of 2.5 trillion Naira, more than half of which the Ubima clown must have frittered away. A first time visitor to the state would shocked at how underdeveloped the state is, both in terms of infrastructure and human development, these inspite of the unprecedented huge amount that was at the disposal of the airhead who presided over the affairs of the state in the last eight years.

In his first term, to endear himself to the people, considering the controversial way he became the gov, started off with laudable projects, albeit at grossly inflated cost. Some of these projects were later discovered to be grandiose, ill conceived and conduit pipe for for the financial rape of the state resources eg the monorail, the model secondary schools (each costing more than N10b) and the biggest of all scams, The greater porthacourt project with an average annual budgetary allocation of N50b.

In 8yrs, for reasons best known to him, less than 200 certificates of occupancy were issued, thereby retarding business growth and limiting assess to funds. By his own admission, the renovation of ten classroom primary schools were awarded at the cost of N120b each. That amount could build at least 4 duplexes of 4flats each. The Karibi whyte memorial hospital was awarded at the cost of N4.5b and the money paid upfront. Till date not a block has been put on ground. His financial scams and legendary profligacy are too numerous to mention. The whole of porthacourt, from borokiri to Obigbo is not bigger than victoria lsland to Ajah in terms of land mass yet less than 30% of the rds are motorable.

There is no point rehashing his many acts of impunity, from closure of courts for more than a year, awarding contracts without due process, locking up the state house of assembly, illegally revoking the Cof O of the headquarter of the factional PDP when he was still in the party and harassing the factional members with police, declaring a public holiday to prevent the court from delivering judgment in the case filed by Nzirims against his illegal removal as LGA chairman, harboring a wanted criminal, Chidi Lyod, in the govt house even when the police had declared him wanted for the criminal assault and battery of a fellow lawmaker etc

People like Amaechi do not have the temperament, character and intellectual capacity to be a ward councilor and his court mandate to preside over the affairs of rivers state was a ghastly error. Never again should any state be saddled with an incompetent miscreant like the Ubima circus clown

Your writeup is senseless

imagine!

I agreed with the point you made on the temperament but people who have the temperament performed below him, he did better than then and that is what i need, we don't need pot belied governors, Ameachi goes around in power bike, checking project without people recognizing him until he was about it leave site, was when he opened his helmet and people shouted "see the governor!! that he zoomed off.

OP is obviously the Judas sympathizer. Yes we will miss Amaechi the same way we will miss Ebola.

wia do u call Wimpey rd then? is it from wimpey jxn to ada george nnpc or u were referring d wimpey - ikwerre rd?. wimpey or iwofe or even Rumuolumeni are simply interchangable. The company named Wimpey used to be a civil construction company down Iwofe axis hence d name Wimpey rd. I know u dont live this area but d MCC are really working day n night on this road now despite d rains
