The election is not about what you think. Let the people of Rivers decide who they want to rule them.

Is this the sign of things to come in Delta state? Akaw-ibom, Rivers, Delta.....etc

PORT HARCOURT – Former governor Chibuike Amaechi, governorship candidate,of the All Progressive Congress, Dr Dakuku Peterside Sunday expressed gratitude to God for the Tribunal’s judgement which nullified the election of governor Nyesom Wike.

Speaking Sunday evening at a forum of the party in Port Harcourt Amaechi said those familiar with his political history know that things sometimes don’t come easy.

He said they won the tribunal judgement by the grace of God. ” You can pay all the money you want to pay but if God says it is not your turn it is not your turn. It is God that gave the victory at the tribunal.

Even if we win at the Supreme Court it is still not yet time for celebration

This is not a new path for those of you who know me. We did not know they had fixed Saturday for judgement, here we are to thank God.”

The former governor told the gathering to turn to Luke chapter 17 reading from verse 11. The story is about one of the lepers who came back to express gratitude to God after they were healed of leprosy.

He charged his followers to learn to thank God, saying God had been there for him. He said he became a governor at 34 and fifty, a(the crowd echoed Minister). He said he will ever be grateful to God.

He called on his followers to continue to,pray for victory politically.

On his part, Peterside said he was hopeful that the party will win the rerun election ordered by the tribunal.

He called on members of the party to be peaceful and continue to conduct themselves decently.

He went into memory lane, saying that it was in October 2007 former governor Amaechi secured a court Supreme Court judgement that installed him governor of the state, adding that this October again a tribunal ruled, annulling the last governorship election.

Former governor Amaechi who spoke to newsmen on the sideline of the event also expressed assurance that the party will reclaim the state.

WIKE!!! Hw many times did I call u? U Rr out already...

Is amaechi running for 3rd term? Abeg make we hear word.

I'd like a situation where the APC won all 36 states' elections in all arms/ levels of government.
Maybe that's what the want?
But it'll be ok by me if that's what would get them to stop blaming the PDP, even though they're in power- and WORK.
Yes, that's politics, but you can only perform one trick so often before it turns stale, even sour...

Dakuku has the charisma of a leader! He would sure be better for Rivers State!

Wike has the popularity but he is NOT a Governor material. He appears too violent and convoluted. He doesn't look like one who would listen to others!


Although we cannot judge by appearances alone, I believe that Rivers will fair well under Dakuku. If Wike had any blueprint for Rivers state, he wouldn't have been so busy obsessing with Amaechi! He would have started work heads on rather than make noise and concoct wives' tales about Amaechi's alleged corrupt practices.

OK fine, you are right about Wike, but what is happening at the federal level? Why has the presidency be in coma for the past five months? Why is it that nothing is happening? Should we also say Buhari has been busy chasing shadows by making corruption allegation against the former regime instead of starting work?

Electing An illiterate Dictator- A Major Drawback for Nigeria’s Democracy The problem with dictatorship is that it usually lacks the capacity and patience to understand the meaning of the rule of law and due process. Both doctrines are often slow and therefore require patience. Dictators don’t have patience, they want it here, now and by any means necessary. In 1984, Mohammadu Buhari overthrew the democratically elected government of President Shehu Shagari. It is true that every coup plotter is guilty of breaching the Nigerian constitution and shooting his way into power. But arguably, unlike Ibrahim Babangida that overthrew a military junta, Buhari’s offense was more egregious because he overthrew a democratically elected government – an expression of the collective will of Nigerians. In his false feeling of importance, Buhari has always believed in his messianic mission. He thinks that he knows it all, and that, unlike any other Nigerian, he knows what is best for Nigeria. His twisted sense of superiority and inordinate craving for power found expression in his 1984 coup and his subsequent, repeated run for the presidency. Before he finally won in 2015, he had been defeated in three earlier presidential elections. On his third defeat, he broke down and wept in public, an action that would have ended his political career if he were an American politician. Politicians hardly weep in America. To me, that unrestrained public effusion of tears signified his utter desperation for power. His frequent threats to Nigerians were also indicative of his excessive hunger for power. After he lost the 2011 presidential election, he made his threats; vowing to make Nigeria ungovernable. And true to his word, he attempted to make Nigeria ungovernable. Through his Boko Haram connection, he unleashed terror on Nigeria. Some say that if Buhari had no relationship with Boko Haram, why did the terrorist group nominate him as one of its negotiators? And before the 2015 election, he threatened to spill blood and cause mayhem if he loses the election. Unfortunately, in 2015, Nigerians buckled under Buhari’s threats and shenanigans, and elected a dictator-president. It is obvious that successive military regimes contributed immensely to our societal woes: the erosion of our moral standards and the perversion of our values. By overthrowing the Shagari government, Buhari truncated a nascent democracy, retarded our democratic evolution and contributed to the problems military rule visited on Nigeria. Ironically, the same problems the military dictators created for Nigerians are the very ones Buhari is promising to fix. Leadership is not, and can never be by force. Buhari, Nigerians say, remains uninformed. Before the elections Nigerians raised a lot of doubts that he even has a West African School Certificate (WASC). But even without this basic academic qualification, he didn’t seem to have the urge to improve himself over the years. So, that when elected president, he would be better prepared to serve the country. Sadly, dictatorship means force and that’s all you need to get things done. His fixation was on grabbing the presidency at all cost. He sounds as though he does not have the finesse to relate smoothly with the other branches of government. He has never displayed any intellectual capacity in governance in the past thoughtless of delivering a lecture, as presidents sometimes do, to the academia, professional associations, etc. In his ignorance and obscurantism, he is blind to the heterogeneity of this country. No wonder, he once advocated making Sharia the supreme law of Nigeria. During his first coming to power in 1984, he pretty much ruled by proxy via Idiagbon. This time around there is ample evidence that he is going to govern through El Rufai and co. Is it then not a bit surprising that Nigerians voted for a dictator in 2015? In my viewpoint this implicates a major drawback for Nigeria. Politically and otherwise. Were Nigerians browbeaten by his threat to unleash violence and wreck havoc if he is not elected? Having, with our votes, dignified a man that shoved aside a democratically elected government and seized power, what message are we sending to young, coup-thirsty military officers? Are we not telling them that it is alright to plot and execute coups? Evidently, we are a country of cowards. Have we, out of fear that Nigeria might break up if Buhari does not win, rewarded him for his coup and extra judicial killings? Oh, the Americans supported him? Yes, Obama did. Secretly, he sent his former Chief of Staff, and renowned political strategist, David Axelrod, to Nigeria to work for the All Progressive Congress (APC). Obama’s support for Buhari was motivated simply by American economic interests. Africa is the new frontier and Nigeria is a major player in this emerging frontier. The former president, Goodluck Jonathan, was in bed with the Chinese. The Chinese economy is expanding and will soon overtake the American economy as the world’s largest economy. The government of Goodluck Jonathan was awarding billion dollar contracts to Chinese companies. This piqued the Americans. So, they embarked on what they do best: regime change. They approached their cousins, our former colonial masters, the British, to find out how to deal with Nigeria. Piece of cake! The Brits told them: the road to Nigeria must pass through the North; we did so when we colonized them. So, Obama went through the North. Buhari, thrice trounced in his quest to be president, was available, ready and willing. So, Obama’s secret agent in Nigeria, David Axelrod, from his vast repertoire of political intrigues, came up with the CHANGE slogan for APC and projected Buhari the dictator as a reformer. For their strategic interests, the Obama administration tried something similar in Israel but failed. It supported an opposition candidate against the incumbent Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. But with Israel being a more sophisticated democracy, and the Israelis, gutsy, they were not swayed by the Obama administration’s political stratagem. The Americans are always prone to installing dictators that will later turn against them, and instead of serving American self-seeking interests, subvert them. There is evidence of these American installed Frankenstein monsters in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, etc. With time, Buhari may prove another Frankenstein monster.

are u from rivers state?

Even if you vote 100 time Nyesom Wike. Will win. Because it is a pdp state. And majority of the state are of the igbo origin.

And they are very tribalistic people. Dakuku will not win.

It is like wasting your money


Igbo people are very tribalistic. To the point if you go to the market
They will not buy fr another except an igbo man.

So the election result is already knew. Wike won before. I don't have to be there to know the result.
Igbo are tribalistic people. Even ahmadu bello said so in his video. They will result to violent if apc win rivers state

The nominee is a minority in rivers state and lion of the northerners not south south or rivers state and note that we are all together when he was leading in the state and I must confess that the DSS, DSP, SP or DPO will never shake us here even if Buhari is the returning officer victory is ours because here is not Abuja but rivers state nigeria south south.

Look, the introduction AND enforcement of the TSA alone - a very concrete, revenue generating/leakage-blocking measure - is worth its own weight in gold. The primary school pupils feeding programme is almost here, and sanity appears to have started returning into our public institutions, to mention just a few intangibles, talk less of the clearing of the criminal backlog of unpaid workers' salaries all over the place, a soft deadline for clearing up the Boko Haram menace, and the resurgence of, and respect for, Nigeria among the comity of Nations. These are just some of the non-controvertible ones I can write down from the top of my head. All these even without a federal cabinet in place yet.

But I know that what primarily concerns some people is just to see that a Federal Minister hails from their community. Very funny.

But, each to his own.

Apc don't have a ground in the southern and eastern part of Nigeria.The party is regarded as a northern parasites who want to plant a stooge so that they can hijack the oil bloc in that river state.Apc is a northern and western party.

Stop spreading lies Mr. man! Who told you that it was Buhari regime that introduced TSA? FYI, TSA was a brainchild of the former regime. The School pupil feeding programme bull*** is yet to be started and until it starts then it is another political promise. A soft deadline for clearing Boko haram. Are you for real? For christ WTF does that mean? So giving deadline is now an achievement right? And has Boko haram menace cease since the issuance of the senseless deadline? Please Just stop embarrassing yourself, it is not funny.

It's funny hw u guys will be selecting d winner.. It's up 2 d registered rivers peeps 2 vote! U guys should take a chill pill
Remember GEJ won by a landslide on nairaland

Some even swore on their lives that PDP will win the election. I still see them on nairaland now still doing the same. They never learn. Wike might have won without rigging but he and his principal rigged the election way too much.

It is left for the electorates to decide who their next governor will be. River people over to you

Yes oo.. Over 2 dem 2 decide their fate!!

Buhari has been nullifying almost all PDP victory. No wahala. He will darely pay for it sooner.

No nerthern states won by APC has been brought to tribunal-this is witch hunting.

Anyway, even though buhari gets inec chair, Wike will still carry the day. We will shame APC in Rivers, Akwa-ibom and Bayelsa state.

in as much as I dont have much interest in Rivers state matter because none of candidate will benefit me in no way, we need to be realistic. the tribunal judgement is a well written script by Buhari & his APC hypocrites. I cant imagine a situation whereby military men becomes witness in the court, moreover Governorship & HOA election was held in the same day & tribunal ruled that no governorship election but upheld the HOA election. its unfortunate that most Nigerian youths especially on nairaland are blind & have lost their sense of reasoning. the hail known THIEF. I just pity those that we loss their lives in the coming rerun election tho.

guy stop being myopic and ignorant, the cases were argued and countered argued separately with different witnesses called, different questions asked and different submissions made, so you shouldn't foolishly expect the Judges to give same judgements.
