Whether someone is able to engage in corrupt practices or not depends on who they are working for.
The key isn't whether the appointee is a thief or not, it is whether the appointer allows
him or her to steal - like Gej did.

so u re saying amaechi stole under GEJ.

Where exactly are we Southerners headed That's how we'll be antagonizing ourselves because of political affiliation! I just shake my heard in disgust! Now we'll start shouting "Government of the North", who is giving them the privilege now?!!!!!!!!!!!! Mtcheew #IMO though!

yeah,,,the battle begins

Don't be surprised that the real beef between this guy's was caused by a woman

Not that I am in support of APC governance in Rivers state in the past but that doesn't make PDP a saint either because as far as concern wike has not commence any work.

Coming to the issue of amaechi to be rivers state senator, I don't think it will work due to conflict of interest.

However wike and his cohorts should face their lane abeg. Their rants nowadays is becoming annoying.

If Amaechi's name appears on the ministerial list,then i give up on Buhari and his anti-corruption fight

i wish anyone would care or notice

omowolewa:
This senate won't reject Amechi's name, they can only ask him questions for record purpose and then pass a vote of confidence.

He can be rejected. Two senators from his state need to protest his nomination and he will be send back

What would Wike gain by stopping Amaechi from being a minister?... Why is Wike so desperately seeking to stop Amaechi being a minister?

This WIKE and PDP are trying all means to prevent amaechi from getting anything in this government and finally wants him in jail.

pls how cn i change my nairaland username

so, Wike believes he can win this?

Barbarthundey:
who is his "brother" and who is an "outsider"? because the last time I checked, the outsider they are referring to is also a Nigerian

dnt mind dem! Old men dat would nt let Nigeria b! Wike leave Amechi alone, biko! He is nt ur problem...

If Amaechi name is on that list, believe me!! Buhari is as corrupt as Ibori..

wetin shittu do 4 diz oyo apc sef!! Make dem free d man joor!!!

how would you say such thing,somebody that has criminal record already. how could you employ him in your firm.don't you know that some people's criminal intent is inherent? Its like a pig no matter how you bath em it still run to the mud.once a thief is always a thief

Eyes shall see ears shall hear when the lion of Ubima will made a minister and his enemies shall scatter.Amaechi himself once said he had never achieved anything politically without a fight and he always get what he fights for.

If anybody doubt this,check his politcal history.

highmood:
But come to think of it, I would have expected the president to have given Amechi a post which do not require the approval of the senate.
If the Senate fails to approve Amechi for a ministerial position, then the president have systematically pushed Amechi away from his cabinet since his inputs may no longer needed.
Even without Gov. Wike's objection to Amechi been a minister, I believe most PDP senators will never want to approve him. Then, it will be a test of how much in numbes APC senators from the north and south loves Amechi.
A responsible government needs not the services of a garrulous minister but a twice-thinking one.

Is amaechi chances depend on pdp senators? What happens to apc senators who re in majority? What makes u think amaechi has no friends in pdp senators? Are pdp senators saints that cannot be manipulated? .

benpedro:

You are right. If his name is on that list then it does not worth waiting for.
I never knew that the Saints we have been waiting for would end up being people like Amechi.

All dis noise about Amaechi! Must he occupy a position I'm tired of all these abeg! Amaechi Is corrupt and it won't be good for if Buhari gives him a position! He was governor for two terms! Dat shud be enough for him! Let him go and enjoy his loot! Wen are we going to get it right in this country

modath:
Don't mind them... Everyday we wait for them to show eviddence,but the only cry that rents the air is "judas" like he signed a pact with el no clue ...




@ghandi12,

Saraki is presently carrying a jerry can of pms, he is not likely to go near fire...

Babatunde! i couldnt expect less. Typical two-faced,double-speaking, yolowba hypocrite and coward.

Suddenly an 'outsider' becomes a Nigerian, but when you South West slaves were asking Igbo to leave lagos you didn't remember they were also Nigerians abi?

Anuofia!

Gov’s loyalists plot against Amaechi’s confirmation
It’s mere fabrication… We won’t respond to speculations –Wike

By Adetutu Folasade-Koyi

THE bitter feud between governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike and his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi may shift to the Senate as from tomorrow.

The fight will be over how to stop Amaechi’s screening and confirma­tion as minister repre­senting Rivers State in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet.

Last Wednesday, the president forwarded the first batch of ministerial nominees to Senate Presi­dent, Bukola Saraki, who is expected to unveil the list to Senators in plenary tomorrow.

Senate Majority Leader Ali Ndume told newsmen at the weekend that the screening and confirma­tion of ministerial nomi­nees will start on Wednes­day.

Reports, however, indi­cated at the weekend that Wike and his loyalists in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have lined up against Amaechi even be­fore he steps foot into the chamber.

Amaechi’s kinsmen in Rivers State chapter of the APC had also vowed to re­sist any move to scuttle his clearance by the Senate.

A source in the PDP caucus indicated at the weekend how some party stalwarts met with PDP Senators to “pay back Amaechi in his own coin” for “fighting his own brother and siding with an outsider” and also, “de­fecting from the party to the APC.”

The plot may also effect the ministerial nominee from Ekiti State, it was gathered. “We are already mobilising our members in Rivers and Ekiti states to reject the nominees ap­pointed by the President.”

Former Ekiti State gov­ernor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi is the state nominee.

On the heels of the plot, the APC in Rivers has also threatened “to march on Abuja because of Amae­chi. We have informa­tion about the plot against Amaechi. We are ready. We will mobilise and let the PDP know that we have supporters to match their strength.”

When contacted, APC chairman in the state, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya admitted he heard the ru­mours and has told mem­bers to be prepared.

“The APC in Rivers has borne with equanimity all the numerous attacks by the PDP and its leadership against our leader and for­mer governor Chibuike Amaechi.

“It is sad, indeed, as the former governor has done nothing to deserve such evil behaviour. We have decided as a party that we will no longer keep silent. We will match the PDP ac­tion for action and word for word.”

Wike, however, dis­missed the reports as “mere fabrication and speculation.”

The governor’s media aide, Simeon Nwakudu told Daily Sun it was un­fortunate that some people could just “sit somewhere and concoct fabrications.

“In the case of APC, it’s a political party that’s been roundly rejected by the people of Rivers.

“The party is peopled by men who lack probity, by extremely corrupt persons as exemplified by Amae­chi, who shunned the Commission of Enquiry set up by the state govern­ment.”

There was also reports that some states would soon forward petitions to the Senate concerning their ministerial nomi­nees.

In Kaduna State, a group, Centrum Initiative for Development and Fun­damental Human Rights Initiative has appealed to the three Senators from the state to intervene, as there were doubts about the ethnicity of the state’s ministerial nominee.

The nominee, Amina Mohammed, was said to be from Gombe State.

There are also plans to stop Mr. Adebayo Shittu, the ministerial nominee from Oyo State.

this is household enemy.
Amechi is one of the few politicians from south that have fans and supporters in the North and west. WHY CAN'T WE SUPPORT HIM AND ASK HIM TO SIN NO MORE?
AMECHI IS AT THE TOP LEVEL OF NIGERIA POLITICS. IT WILL BE UNFAIR FOR HIS PEOPLE TO BRING HIM DOWN.

Watin dis amechi do sef?
JUST because HE REFUSE TO BOW DOWN FOR PEJ LIKE WIKE ALWAYS DO IN PUBLIC. WIKE BOWED DOWN FOR PEJ DURING PH RALLY AND PEJ CALLED WIKE MY SON.
if amechi is my father or brother, i will loss respect for him if he calls PEJ mommy like Wike do........All men should hail Amechi for being a real man and stood his ground.
