TonyeBarcanista:
Rivers state is a multiethnic society but one thing that has kept us together in fairness, equity and unity of purpose. As the rerun election approaches, many riverians look forward to return Nyesom Wike to Government House as they did in April 11. Though I recognise that the good people of Rivers state will return Wike to power, this article is to lay support to the decision of Rivers people.

1. Riverine/Upland Agreement Has No Effect On Wike:
While it is true that since 1999, the upland has been occupying the number one seat of rivers state, it is also true to recognise that Nyesome Wike wouldn't have been the candidate of the riverine communities IF a riverine person had done what he did to challenge the madness of ex-governor Amaechi and his APC mad house. Wike was not the only minister from rivers state during Jonathan's era, he was however, the only one that stood his ground, defended Jonathan, an illustrious son of the Niger delta, got insulted and abused by the APC and their agents on Jonathan's behalf. Dakuku Peterside, though a riverine man is unfit to preach the riverine/upland agreement when he was the same person that vigorously campaigned against Jonathan for his parochial interest and made a fool of himself on March 28 to please his masters in Bourdillon road and Daura. It was Wike that stood by the Rivers people, it was Wike that stood by our brother Jonathan. So if we the riverine communities are to consider voting based on "sentiment", it is NYESOM Wike that fits the bill. Dakuku's master, Amaechi once declared that Jonathan, an Ijawman isn't his brother, Wike never denied the brotherhood between himself, an Ikwerre man and Jonathan. As a riverine, Dakuku is our blood brother, but he doesn't represent us.

2. Ikwerre Deserves The Position:
The spirit of Rivers state is one that promotes unity and give everyone a sense of belonging. It is fair that the Ikwerre nation, produce the Governor of the state since the Senator representing Rivers East, George Sekibo is a riverine man from Okrika. It is only fair and deserving that the Ikwerre nation produce the Governor. Rivers state is known for fairness. We gave mandate to Peter Odili, an Ndoni man in 1999 and 2003 not considering the minority population. In 2007 we shifted the mandate to Celestine Omehia/Rotimi Amaechi, not minding the fact that he's an uplander. In 2011 we returned Amaechi to power because we believe that the Ikwerres deserve an unbreakable 8years in office. In April 11, we dumped Peterside but queued behind Wike despite his Ikwerre root because we saw the spirit of Rivers in him. It is time to once again tell the Ikwerres that their son is indeed worthy of the mandate that the court erroneously voided. Upland or Riverine, Rivers is not divided.

3. Like Abiye Sekibo, Like Dakuku Peterside:
To those that may not know, Sekibo is an Ijawman from Okrika. Despite being an Ijaw son, his kinsmen(we) have vowed never to thumb-print for him in ANY election. In fact, it is safe to state that it is easier for the son of the Sultan of Sokoto to be elected Chairman of Okrika Local government than for Sekibo, a son of the soil. The reason is simple, Sekibo as SSG and Minister (under Obj) pioneered cultism and never brought development in the state. He brought riverine sentiment against Amaechi in 2011 as ACN candidate but was highly defeated in the riverine region(and the entire state)

On Peterside, he positioned himself as an enemy of Niger delta, Rivers state and the riverine people by his disgraceful drama during the Presidential election. He led his thugs to demonstrate against the will of the people when they thump-printed for Jonathan. Peterside has positioned himself to be seen as one that seeks to please his external masters. He's a puppet that is best suited for an appointment as PA to his master Rotimi Amaechi.

4. APC Government In Rivers State Was Disaster:
While the PDP government of Rotimi Amaechi that lasted between 2007 and 2012 was one of the best in the history of the state, the APC government of Amaechi that lasted between 2013 and sent parking in May 2015 was the WORST government ever in Rivers state. It was the APC government led by Amaechi that shut down the courts and state house of assembly, and also put the state in comatose. Amaechi's APC government refused to pay salaries for 3months and failed to appoint Chief judge of the state. Wike led PDP government came on-board and reversed the madness. Amaechi's APC government that we have thrown into the dust bin of history is Dakuku personified.

I believe in the true spirit and determination of rivers state to seal up the dust-bin that APC belongs. Our state can not be led by one that is not for us.

More from Asari Dokubo.
In yesterday’s interview, Dokubo insisted that Wike could not become the next governor of the state in view of the interests of the three ethnic clusters in the state. He said an Ikwerre man had no business in Rivers Government House in 2015, adding that it would amount to political suicide for PDP to field Wike in the next election. Dokubo said the Ogoni should be supported to produce the next governor in the interest of justice and fair play, adding that it is only the Ogoni cluster that has not produced the governor of the state.
“As far as we all know, there are three ethnic clusters in Rivers State: the Ijaws, the Igbos (Ikwerre is part of the Igbo cluster) and the Ogonis. After Bayelsa was excised from Rivers State, the Igbos have ruled for many years. Odili was an Ndoni Igbo; he ruled for eight years. Omehia/Amaechi, who are also Ikwerres, by 2015 would have ruled for more than eight years, making over 16 years,” he explained.

I have no idea who this Tonyebarcanister is. I can tell he is a very smart person from his posts.

His method of delivery is a lil weird though, it appears he supports facts everyone is against, or against facts everyone supports. But again, who is everyone? We all don't think alike anyways, so I'll admit his opinion matters like those from everyone; even though they're flip-flopped sometimes.That's a lil weird to me coming for a gem like him.

If anyone has any link to a post everyone ever agreed with, pls share.

Reminds me of my room mate in college that had a contrary opinion to everything.

Barcanista, you can do better than this. All this analysis scream more of personal sentiments with little or no consideration for the larger interest of the populace. You always scream of marginalization of the Southern minorities but here you are canvassing 16years straight rule of Ikweres all because of personal hatred for Amaechi.


As God will have it all your schemings against him has been falling flat and he's at the top of his game while the haters are left shadow chasing.

THE IKWERRES HAVE BEEN RULING A LONG TIME.LET THEM GIVE THOSE FROM THE RIVERINE AREAS A CHANCE.
After they will start telling us how Igbos are expansionist and dominating;yet,they are the ones greedily dominating everyone in Rivers.Was Rivers state created for them alone ?This is the reason why they fear to identify with the larger Igbo nation.They are afraid that they would be unable to compete.They'd rather have a small kingdom of theirs where they would exercise total monopoly over the minority.
I don't give a damn about PDP and APC...i would love Dakuku Peterside to win for the sake of justice and equity grin

Any one that says Amaechi achievement as a governor is the best in South South has not been to Akwa Ibom or the person is just a liar. Go to Akwa Ibom and see what Akpabio did for his people.
Don't even go there, 60% of akwaibomites are in Rivers state. Do u knw wat it takes to harbour this population wit dat of others nd the effects on the infrastructures? Akpabio concentrated on roads but amaechi infrastructural development goes beyond road. Every community has a standard primary sch nd health care center plus the roads nd bridges. Inspite of his poorly federal allocation nd siezure of Rivers oilwells. Dear it wasn't easy for amaech.

APC MAY BE MORE PURPULAR THAN PDP IN RIVERS

If you reside in Rivers and listens to radio stations you will have notices that contributors to political matters have more of APC supporters than the PDP. this may be an indication that the APC may be more popular than the ruling PDP since the contributes represent statistically a cross section of the 23 local government area in the state. if you are an ardent follower of political discussion on Radio especially in 92.3 Nig. Info you must have been familiar with names like Ebere from Rumu Ndele, Bar. chizy, Glad West, Akanto Boutique, Jude Ubani, suzy from Erema, Chimanem Wordi, Chile from Ugbakiri, Innocent Amadi, Basil Amadi, Mrs. Dimkpa, Emzor Uzor, Baba for the masses, D Radio senator, J A J, etc. these names and perhaps more are about the most popular radio contributors in the state. these callers are scattered all over the 23 local government of the state with more than 60% pro APC supporters. similar statistics is also true for the Unknown contributors.

though in PH and obio/Akpor LGAs due to the large population of the non indigenous Igbos who make up over 45% of the population there, PDP seem to hold sway in these two local government. This is perhaps the reason why most people think that Rivers is mainly PDP. though am not a fan, PDP should go back and do their home work to win over support in other LGA because there will be no federal migth this time around. I remembered one of Wike's campaigns in Rumueme Area of PH where he told his supporters to endeavour to vote for GEJ and forget about him. that the very day of the guber they would use cane on the APC supporters. this advantage is no more longer there hence PDP should mobilize to field the earlier the better! APC we rivers know not PDP
Re: Why Rivers Should Return Nyesome Wike In The Governorship Rerun by CharlyNick: 7:59pm On Oct 26, 2015
Wike is the People's mandate. we all Love Him in Port-Harcourt! What Amaechi's Government couldn't do for Eliozu people in 8yrs, Wike has started work on that.

When I HEARED the news about nullification, all I prayed for was RE-RUN. And I thank God it's goin for a Re-Run because I am sure of Wike's Victory.

Port-Harcourt is like Akwa Ibom. You dare not Mention APC where three people are gathered else you face it..

The Pains of losing to Buhari is still fresh and excruciating and I think the time has come for us to reclaim our superiority over APC in Rivers, Akwa Ibom (My Origin) and Delta as we are BROTHERS!!!

He boastingly sacked all the LG Chairmen that Amaechi sworn in, without the law court. Now, he is having it the same way now and his House of Assembly members too including the Speaker has been sacked.

My advice: If Wike seems to be popular as said by you all, don't run to cut, wait for rerun.
if Ambode is Popular than Agbaje,Lagos should have a rerun

Dude, face it. You're done. PDP is done, Wike is done. Lament all you want and write your eulogy for the dying PDP all you want, it wont change the fact that APC is in power. No ijaw or igbo bastard will ever smell aso rock again.

i also find it curious that in your neck of the woods, your only heroes are touts, thugs, drunks, violent criminals and gangsters. Is that the best the SS/SE can do?

To those that may not know, Sekibo is an Ijawman from Okrika. Despite being an Ijaw son, his kinsmen(we) have vowed never to thumb-print for him in ANY election. In fact, it is safe to state that it is easier for the son of the Sultan of Sokoto to be elected Chairman of Okrika Local government than for Sekibo, a son of the soil. The reason is simple, Sekibo as SSG and Minister (under Obj) pioneered cultism and never brought development in the state. He brought riverine sentiment against Amaechi in 2011 as ACN candidate but was highly defeated in the riverine region(and the entire state)

On Peterside, he positioned himself as an enemy of Niger delta, Rivers state and the riverine people by his disgraceful drama during the Presidential election. He led his thugs to demonstrate against the will of the people when they thump-printed for Jonathan. Peterside has positioned himself to be seen as one that seeks to please his external masters. He's a puppet that is best suited for an appointment as PA to his master Rotimi Amaechi.

4. APC Government In Rivers State Was Disaster:
While the PDP government of Rotimi Amaechi that lasted between 2007 and 2012 was one of the best in the history of the state, the APC government of Amaechi that lasted between 2013 and sent parking in May 2015 was the WORST government ever in Rivers state.

Any one that says Amaechi achievement as a governor is the best in South South has not been to Akwa Ibom or the person is just a liar. Go to Akwa Ibom and see what Akpabio did for his people.
I am from Akwa Ibom (IKA) to be precise.

I CAN CONFIDENTLY TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE NO SINGLE INDUSTRY AND UNEMPLOYMENT IS IN HIGH RATE IN AKWA IBOM STATE!!!

With the Monthly Income that goes to Akwa IBOM Monthly, Akwa Ibom should be competing with Houston in USA.

Akpabio had the opportunity to turn Akwa IBOM to infact UK during his tenure.

What Akpabio did was to build Stadium, good Roads with street lights, infrastructureS, Few Hospitals etc.

This insufferable idi0t is at it again with his long winded epistles that only his zombie horde care about, thus he has to bray for them to come give him likes juts to fuel his otherwise tattered ego.

Dude, face it. You're done. PDP is done, Wike is done. Lament all you want and write your eulogy for the dying PDP all you want, it wont change the fact that APC is in power. No ijaw or igbo bastard will ever smell aso rock again.

i also find it curious that in your neck of the woods, your only heroes are touts, thugs, drunks, violent criminals and gangsters. Is that the best the SS/SE can do?

Meanwhile, the zombies are marching forth to buzz around the alpha zombie's rants like flies on sh1t.
your picture funny die! permission to save it. grin

If Wike wins, the Riverine communities would have to go approximately 22 years without rulership in the state.

Odili who is Upland (Ndoni) did 8 years..


Amaechi who is upland (Ubima) also did 8 years



Then Wike as well who is also upland would now get another 8 years making it 22 years..



That is unacceptable. In the spirit of fairness, it's only right that the position be passed to the Riverine communities of which Dakuku Peterside (Andoni) is one.



The Ikwerres are the bulk of Wikes support base and they alone can't win him the elections.

I support Dakuku and would vote as such.

This analysis by Barcanista is rubbish as Amaechi spent the last portion of his tenure battling the PDP who had conviniently marginalised the state, moved part of the states oil wells to Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa State, caused chaos in the state polity (Evans Bipi saga is still fresh on our minds), created disharmony in the state (Everybody in Rivers State can never forget CP Joseph Mbu), and thanks to Madam Patience Jonathan made the state ungovernable for Amaechi.

Tonye we all saw how Jonathan's PDP struggled to mention 1 Federal Project that it executed in Rivers State in the last 6 years. We all saw how East - West Road was conviniently stopped right in front of Eleme which is the main road in Rivers State with regards to Rivers States economy as that road houses the States Refinery, Ports and other Oil and gas companies fabrication yard. Let's also not forget that the Federal government stopped paying the States allocation because it had issues with the Governor. UNDER Jonathan's PDP, Port Harcourt airport was abandoned and is today the World's Worst Airport... O and remember that Amaechi asked the Federal government to hand that Airport to the Rivers State government to construct and they refused because they wanted to spite Amaechi. Yet the same Jonathan concessioned Akwa Ibom Airport to Akpabio to construct.


Please Amaechi performed excellently well despite the concerted effort by Jonathan's PDP to frustrate the State. We Rivers people are not fooled by your long write ups.. No single road constructed by Wike under his short tenure is up to the standard of any road constructed by Amaechi. Look at the GRA road for example. All roads constructed under Amaechi all had covered drainage, Pedestrian walk ways and the roads themselves were properly piled.. Under Wike we are now seeing the Odili style of road construction of grade and tar with open drainage and no pedestrian walkway..

Abeg bros use reverse park and drink Orijin.. Na Dakuku be our choice.
One thing about the confirmed paid person in like of the author of this thread is that they are descendants of Esau. Always keeping the truth away from the masses.
If Nigerian youths are people of value and rational being, none who ever advocate for Wike to hold public post considering his actions as a Minister of Education which recently manifest with the state sponsored students that were forced to fly back to Nigeria. With his thuggery act as the chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government, there shouldn't be any peace loving individual that will stand up for this Wike to be a governor.

The most of unfortunate things was that this OP sometimes few weeks ago writes and makes suggestions for youth to make a productive life and prepare to take up leadership...... etc.

Tonyebarcanista you are a disgrace to humanity and your generation. Were there no any other reputable personality in your new party PDP that you can advocate for than the thug evil minded Wike who shows no remorse on lost lives during the election that was as a result of his actions and in actions? Like his role model he start jumping from one pastor to another looking for anointing and miracle to get favourable judgement at Tribunal.

One thing I know is that you can't play with God name with wicked and inhuman actions. Better leave God out of it and see how devil allows you get away with it until the most patient God looks upon cry, pains and prayers of the oppressed.

THE IKWERRES HAVE BEEN RULING A LONG TIME.LET THEM GIVE THOSE FROM THE RIVERINE AREAS A CHANCE.
After they will start telling us how Igbos are expansionist and dominating;yet,they are the ones greedily dominating everyone in Rivers.Was Rivers state created for them alone ?This is the reason why they fear to identify with the larger Igbo nation.They are afraid that they would be unable to compete.They'd rather have a small kingdom of theirs where they would exercise total monopoly over the minority.
I don't give a damn about PDP and APC...i would love Dakuku Peterside to win for the sake of justice and equity grin
Sorry sir, nobody is marginalising anybody in rivers state. Pele
