Listen my friend, the money Amaechi is alleged to have looted belongs to Rivers people. It doesn't belong to Wike or Sekibo or the PDP alone. I am interested in the collective patrimony of Rivers state and not to shield the same people that have stolen us blind. If Buhari will not nominate anyone from Rivers aside Amaechi, it confirms our saying that APC does not exist in Rivers state!

Please watch before you crucify Amaechi

Thank you very much.

i saw the author and decided not to even bother! not trying to loose brain cells from reading half witted write ups!

HopeAtHand:
keep your teaching for someone else.

Where you in coma when GEJ gleefully defended the state pardon of Alams claiming Alams travails was politically motivated..GEJ opened his mouth to say because Alams was his boss, he had to pardon him..

Only corrupt people will pardon corrupt people.

Thank God for today cuz u learn alot sir

Tonye, I sincerely appreciate your writeup though many might not appreciate it.

Keep it coming...

demdem mo.ron how far

Those who are not Happy with Amaechi's nomination should go to court. Wike is just wasting his time. Those of us from Rivers state know both Amaechi and Wike very well. Wike has no moral ground to call Amaechi corrupt. Wike is more corrupt than any Rivers politician whether living or dead. They will be surprise what Will on d senate floor next. It is either Amaechi or Rivers state should forget having a minister for now.

No governor in nigeria (both present and past) can match Amechi in looting. Imagine stealing N53/N55 Rivers Reserved funds. Amechi stole without fear.

TonyeBarcanista:
Should Amaechi be cleared as minister of the federal republic of Nigeria? Just like the 8th Senate did for Saraki, Buhari's decision to nominate Amaechi was influenced by political consideration without regard for his integrity/antecedent.

Buhari Elevates Politics Over Principle:
While I recognise the prerogative of President Buhari to appoint men and women that he considers worthy enough to form his cabinet, I beg to ask whether the President was in a trance when he pledged to appoint only people of credible character when elected. His recent nomination of messrs Rotimi Amaechi and Raji Fashola betrays his pre-electoral position on appointing "only" credible characters into his administration. Though Amaechi and Fashola are yet to be charged before a court nor convicted, morality demands that they be allowed to FIRST clear all allegations against them either through being certified 'Innocent' by the investigators or through the courts(if they are indeed innocent) before given new political responsibilities. Buhari's nomination of these men (and others) despite the allegations against them is a testament that he upholds politics over principle.

Who Is The 8th Senate Trying To Impress?
I burst into laughter when Senate spokesman Otunba Dino Malaye was reading out conditions for screening. I laughed more when he mentioned 'Asset Declaration' and 'thorough scrutiny'. What does the 8th Senate want to do with the asset declaration of ministerian nominees when they (senators) are yet to publicly declare there own asset before the public? Are they not the same people that are led by a man that is currently undergoing criminal trial before the Code of Conduct Tribunal for declaring false asset before CCB? What thorough scrutiny will the 8th Senate subject the ministerial nominees to when only two weeks ago they passed vote of confidence on a man that is undergoing criminal trial? What question will SP Saraki ask would-be ministers? What moral legitimacy does the 8th Senate have to reject a nominee on account of alleged corruption when only recently they passed vote of confidence on their President that is an alleged criminal? Who are they trying to impress?

Kudos To Senator Sekibo But...:
My position on Amaechi is very clear, he's morally unfit to represent Rivers state in the Federal Executive Council until he is cleared of all allegations against him. I sincerely commend my very own senator, George Sekibo for submitting petitions to the Senate on behalf of the ever loving people of Rivers state. But I have to admit that I don't see the petition scaling through for two reasons; One, the President is well aware of these allegations but he has shown that he doesn't care; Two, the 8th Senate is led by an alleged corrupt official that is presently under trial before a tribunal. There is the burden of moral legitimacy hanging on their neck. However, Amaechi's confirmation or otherwise cannot invalidate the allegations against him.

Nigerians Must Decide Where They Stand:
Nigerians are a special set of people. The people that went on protest in solidarity of Tinubu when he was being tried before the CCT, are the same group that were mocking a certain group that were protesting and showing Solidarity for the alleged corrupt Bukola Saraki. The group of people that were insisting that Saraki should not be tried for corruption is the same group that is crying that Amaechi and co should not be cleared due to the corruption allegation on their neck. The group that was calling for the head of Princess Oduah when she spent N260million on TWO cars in 2013 is the same group that defended Fashola for spending N78million on personal website. The group that defended Oduah then is the same group that has been calling for Fashola's head. Are both groups not confused and contradicting themselves? Is it proper to support misconduct when it suits us and oppose same when it doesn't? It is time for us as a people to define what we want and what we stand for.

Finally, by nominating Rotimi Amaechi and other people of questionable characters to serve as ministers of his government, President Buhari has betrayed the public confidence that was reposed on him on March 28. Like his predecessors, he has shown that he is ever ready to 'suspend' his principles in order to reward political allies. Indeed, President Muhammadu Buhari belongs to some people, he doesn't belong to everybody.



May God Bless Us All

ECOTERRORS:
Amaechi is a corrupt being that PMb gave him a ministerial slot just to compensate him for his financial and betrayal activities.



Pmb has a moral burden placed on him by nominating Amaechi

Amechi betrayed who exactly?. Goodluck Jonathan?.
Who is Goodluck Jonathan?. A lucky man who became president at the death of another. Shuffled to the top from behind by a not so nice Yoruba General and ex President. You guys have lost sense of reasoning. Amechi was in politics when Goodluck was a not so bright staff of NDDC.
The Jonathan betrayed PDP elders, betrayed Amechi himself, betrayed Obj and finally betrayed the Niger Delta. Be there and be worshipping an ordinary simpleton who could not control himself, his wife , his Ministers and his government. I am sorry for all of you. Lack of exposure is a serious disease.

typical of an apc supporter

why not check my signature

Buhari has to nominate him lest he looks like someone who would not keep his side of a bargain.

Now we expect the senators to earn their pay by rejecting these guys with corruption allegations/lawsuits hanging around their necks. But no guarantees really. These guys have deep pockets, and if they're ready to spend, we know our lawmakers will take money

Another useless one from the hopeless one.

So that

Everybody scream Corrupt means some one is corrupt ?

Then Buhari should step down since some m0r0ns like you call him corrupt.

Amaechi is yet to be tried by any competent court. He has not even be charged.

There is no immunity for Ministers so as a Minister if he gets charged, he can still be jailed.

Unfortunately you are the Savior and conqueror of Nairaland since your 'likers' can not think deep and Mods can't wait for the 'mediocritically' long nonsense you write for a living to hit the front page.

The only crime Buhari committed here is including some one The Newspaper and PDP called CORRUPT.

If you have an uncle in government please advise him to continue being corrupt. When he gets caught and is on his way to dirty Kirikiri prison tell him not to worry, he should just mention Amechi's name and he is going to be set free. Maybe then.you will learn the hard way.

No amount of propaganda can rubbish or diminish the achievements of Amaechi in Rivers State.


History will be kind to him.

I expect him to be cleared by the Senate. Naturally.


Those who don't like the incoming Minister of Niger - Delta Affairs can visit the nearest pharmacy for hypertensive drugs.


They will need it.

ECOTERRORS:
PMB was never prepared for governance, his antics has been a colossal failure that Nigerians are groaning under his ineptitude.



PMB is a Disaster

Dont you think you are passing the judgement too early in the day? Maybe you should reserve your opinion for latter days ahead. My belief is that PMB is showing gratitude for their role in his emergence.
But, believe me, whoever among these men attempts to abuse his office under this administration, they have something else coming their way. All eyes are on them and it wont be as usual, not any more. Lets keep our fingers crossed for now. The litmus test will soon begin.

Ameachi,
the lion of the tribe of Ubima
The slayer of Tanoids
the bombshell of south south
the slayer of the wailers

Ride on sir! We dey for ya back gidigba like hunch-back

wailers-
A saddist will always be!

are the claims true or not? Shame no go make una admit say una make the wrong choice

Buhari has conformed what I already knew. He has no good plans for Nigeria.

Ameachi remains the biggest thief this country has ever seen
Shame on pmb

Amaechi has challenged you all to publish the statement of account when he governed Rivers state.
If you can't prove it in a competent court of jurisdiction, you better stop wailing.

You have just stated the obvious which will neither move us forward.
It is only human to do what MR. President did. Let me put this to you, would you abandon those that struggle with you during the struggle and appoint people that you do not know?
I felt disappointed though, but I had no choice than to hope for a better Nigeria in the hands of Nigerians we do not have trust in.
We did same in the past administration let's keep the faith burning.
We are almost there.
God bless Nigeria.

Bura ,Bura ,Bura ..........DikHead !!! Mtchheeeeew.....

buhari nomination of the ministers, define saint out of perfection. is telling you that a man failed doesn't mean he can't pass


success&failure are on the same lane, if one shift from success to failure, he can still shift from failure bck to success


in the concept of "morality" Op regards to, encompassed both good&bad justification


so chill, you can raise Una petition 6months after their resumption in office. if he failed to perform


for Amaechi is one of the minister of this country, you have nothing to do about it, go and ask Joseph brothers in the bible?

dmandy:
A very nice write-up and one with one of the best carefully chosen diction I have read on NL. However, suffice is to say that the intent of this write-up is to mislead the readers. One will argue with me that what I have just read is the OP's opinion and that everyone has the right to air his or her opinion, but that does not negate the fact that the opinion is this powerful article is coated with finely twisted facts.


If that statement is anything to go by, then you are saying that 'they are guilty' until proven otherwise. Which of course is standing logic on its head. Remember the many allegations against Buhari and those against Jonathan just before the March general elections, yet you went ahead and voted one of them. Where lies your own integrity?

Saraki's case is in court and it is left for him to clear himself but in the mean time he heads the senate. Are you then saying that because almost all the senate members are undergoing one trial or the other, they should not screen the nominees? Nawa o. They will have to really investigate the allegations you mentioned hanging on the neck of Ameachi and Fashola na and knowing that falsification of assets declaration is now a crime (one that even their leader is answering for) at least someone might be roped in and the witch hunting continues from there. This will of course be good for Nigeria and Nigerians.


Since the accusers are yet to charge him to any court, how can he clear himself if we insist the senate cancel his name from the list of would-be ministers?



Yes, its time. But it is not going to happen overnight bro. Nigeria is a multi-everything state, so we shall patiently get there.
Most people you say, who shouted for the head of Oduah are the ones who are saying leave Fashola and Rotimi alone, at the same time those who cried leave our dear Oduah alone are the one the shouting give us the blood of Ameachi. That is the irony of it all, but in-between you will find well meaning Nigerians who are crying 'let justice be done, irrespective of who or what is involved'. You too can be one.

Finally, I have my own questions about most of the nominees (except Alhaji Lai Mohammed who has been exceptional in his duty), but my consolation is the saying that we should ''be not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; but afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion". Let us leave the senate to do their work while we continue to pray for the success of this administration and the ones to come.

God bless Nigeria.

You one of the best here man. I owe you a beer. We will discourse how you pick

the president has a right to install anyone as a minister if he likes he can even put all his family memebers there,its whom he feels can work with him,BTW,if you were amechi and the president refused you that token offer would you just sit back feeling happy?

Thanks for always hitting the nail Tonye. May God continue to bless you our future president
