brainpower:
Then you must be a core APC member to support Amaechi then. And with the way you sound, I don't think you are from Rivers State. It's all about choice. To Amaechi's supporters, he's a god to them and to some APC members outside the state, he gave them the presidency. But to us here, we know what we lost and our still losing because of him. Amaechi probably the most corrupt governor in Nigeria and this doesn't mean GEJ isn't corrupt but Rivers State is my constituency and that's where I care about.

PoliticsRivers State Gov Wike Visits Chief Justice Of Nigeria Twice In A One Month by ricsman(op):
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has
paid two visits to the Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, at
the Supreme Court, Abuja, this month,
officials have said.
Nyesom Wike
One of the visits to the CJN, it was learnt, coincided
with the day the Rivers State Governorship Election
Petitions Tribunal, sitting in Abuja, conducted
hearing in an application filed by Wike to challenge
an order permitting his opponent to inspect the
electoral materials used for the poll that brought
him to office.
Investigations by our correspondent in Abuja
showed that the visits were made without prior
appointments.
The election of the former education minister, who
ran for the governorship on the platform of the
Peoples Democratic Party, is being challenged by
the governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, Dr. Dakuku Peterside.
The Rivers State Governorship Elections Petition
Tribunal had on July 9 reaffirmed its ex parte order
made on June 11, 2015, granting permission to
Peterside, to inspect the electoral materials used
for the poll.
Peterside and the APC had on May 3, 2015, filed
their petition before the tribunal to challenge the
victory of Wike at the poll.
The Justice Muazu Pindiga-led tribunal had in a
ruling dismissed Wike’s application asking for the
setting aside of the June 11, 2015 order.
The judge also adjourned till July 22 for the
commencement of the pre-hearing session in the
petition.
Wike has however denied that his visit to the CJN
had anything to do with his case.
Our correspondent learnt that Wike did not meet
the CJN on his first visit, which was a Monday. The
number one judicial officer in the country was said
to have travelled to Saudi Arabia for the Lesser
Hajj.
Wike however repeated the visit two days later,
when he was able to discuss with the CJN.
A source in the governor’s entourage, disclosed to
our correspondent that the members of staff in the
office of Mohammed were shocked to see the
governor.
The source said, “There was no proper
appointment because as soon as the governor
stepped in and said he would like to see the CJN
and was asked if it was on appointment, he
answered in the negative.
“Nevertheless, he was allowed to see the CJN; but
unfortunately, the CJN was not in the country as he
was in Saudi Arabia for the Lesser Hajj.”
The Publicity Secretary of APC in Rivers State,
Chief Chris Finebone, said the visit was curious.
Finebone said though his party believed that the
person of the CJN was beyond compromise, he
nevertheless wondered why Wike refused to carry
the media along during the visits.
He said, “We have no cause to doubt the integrity
of the CJN, but we must say that the visits must
have been made open and known to Nigerians.
Why was it not made known?
“Wike believes that every human being has a price.
His problem is just to identify the price. His case is
pending and he refused to go with the media during
the visits.
“We want to believe that the visits didn’t happen
and if it happened, he must tell Nigerians why he
chose to embark on the visit without the media.”
He called on Nigerians and the people of Rivers to
monitor the activities of the governor.
Reacting to the visit, the national leadership of the
PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, said there was nothing
wrong with the visits.
Metuh said that the governor had the right to pay
official visit to the CJN, adding that he (Wike)
should not be vilified because of that.
“Yes, he has the right to pay official visit or
courtesy calls on the CJN and I see nothing wrong
with that,” he said.
Wike, while denying going to lobby the CJN for his
pending tribunal case, told our correspondent that
he was at the office because of the issue
surrounding the appointment of the acting Chief
Justice of Rivers State.
He said since the acting Chief Judge of his state
was appointed about three months ago, there was
the need to seek the permission of the National
Judicial Council to approve and renew the
appointment.
Wike said, “I didn’t go there to lobby for anything
cynical. If I was going to lobby for anything like
that, would I go in the afternoon?
“You may wish to know that we have an acting
Chief Judge in my state, and the judiciary is
already on vacation and that the NJC may also be
on vacation.
“So, I needed to do a letter to the NJC on the need
to extend or approve the appointment of the acting
CJ in my state. I went there on the two days in
daytime; and see Nigerians, they are already
imputing another meaning to the visits.”

Thanks for the insults. First of all, I don't want to die for GEJ because he isn't God and he's also responsible for his defeat. Secondly, I'm not a party member so I must say it the way it is in my mind. Thirdly, thank God man isn't God if not with this kind of insults coming from you, I would have been dead by now.
Talking about where both of them are, it is quite clear. GEJ is at home resting and preparing for any moves PMB will make against him while amaechi escorted Buhari to the US as an ordinary citizen. Amaechi is lobbying for a position while GEJ is making governors. In as much as they have both excelled in their various endevours, I don't think you can compare GEJ's personal achievements to amaechi's. Don't forget he was the president of Nigeria, a position that will take wiping away history for Amaechi to ever be able to achieve.
who said u are not a party man? guy u b big PDP card carrying member. only PDP hate Ameachi. Ameachi opened peoples eye to bad radiance of d FG

worksmart:
We never see Buhari take any questions from journalists or even exchange small talk with any journalist on video.

Reason we are only seeing old photos that were taken of him whilst he was still only the President elect; is because he was secretly removed on the weekend following his inauguration.

Showing him talking to journalists may expose the real date of the images we are being shown.

My guess is that these photos are taken in America's consulate in Germany is in May 2015, when he met G7 leaders at preliminary gatherings prior to the G7 summit in June.

PoliticsRe: Heard DSS Has Begun Screaming For Major Appointment by ricsman(op): 9:45pm On Jun 27, 2015
atlwireles:
Unable to choose his working team, Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has been struggling to kick-off a regime he bragged so much about. The All Progressives Congress APC, it may be recalled, ran an electioneering race projecting their candidate, now the president, as a fiscally astute conservative who would curb corruption and appropriately manage the country’s economic and financial resources. The masses at this time are getting something entirely different.

While Buhari, a former dictator backflips with official duties in a representative system unfamiliar to his individual aptitude, his camp has been busy showcasing him with falsehood and deceptive fairy tales. To substitute for total lack of answers for his regime catastrophe, the APC social media warriors have been feeding disappointed masses with some worthless rooster-and-bull tales of what is now termed the ‘Buhari Wonders.”

The first fake story to justify Buhari’s humility, and considerateness to money matters came during the government transition period, when the APC claimed that predecessor, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan presented a billion naira budget for delegates’ lunch, but Buhari the “good money-manager” declined any expenses, saying that his transition team would bring their own lunch. Meanwhile this president was in London at the time on a controversial mission not properly communicated to his constituents.

A similar story yet made it to the network from the Buhari’s camp on how during the South Africa’s trip, Buhari paid the hotel bills for his staff, and asked the rest of the entourage to pay their own bills. This was a president yet to name a single staff till date. The propaganda continued with another rumor that hundreds of politicians, including the Petroleum Minister, Alison-Madueke had returned billions of Dollars stolen from the government – because they were afraid of Buhari the “respected honest money-keeper” and disciplinarian.

It is despicable that at this crucial time in the regime, the APC social media ensemble, running out of Buhari praise-worship songs are busy telling self-indulgent stories including comparing Buhari and Jonathan’s cars, use of presidential jets, Buhari’s choice of transportation, and ostensibly his suya flavor. But how long would they continue to feed the masses with these tommyrots.

As I write, the Buhari’s camp in the social media are still tagging around senseless stories about Buhari opting to fly in the economy class over first class; or choosing Okada over official convoy; or proposing to be eating on the floor instead of an official dining table; or heading to Alhaji Suya "bukateria" for his inauguration dinner rather than the traditional Aso-Rock in-house executive banquet.

Major questions remain – when would Nigerians start getting substantial information about the running of the government? Where are the ‘missing girls’? When is this ‘change’ going to start? Where is the unemployment salaries? Where are Buhari’s ministers? Who has been making all decisions so far? Is this still a democracy?

Indeed, Buhari and those who bejeweled him into his current executive predicament have been facing a more complicated political landscape. Even as Buhari announced as a terror-defense strategy, a relocation of the country’s armory to Borno State, Nigeria has remained under a terrorist attacks. In fact, last Monday's suicide bombing at a crowded fish market occurred in the northeastern city of Maiduguri – the same region where the regime relocated its arsenal.

Let us be clear then – that a president chose a wheelbarrow as an official car does not make him morally decent and fiscally astute; it only exposes his ignorance to issues of fiscal policies. Buhari, and indeed his Yahoo drum-beaters should explain their frameworks and preparedness to fiscal reformation. They should tell Nigerians how the regime can sustain in the long run, the existing spending, policies, and tax - without jeopardizing Nigeria’s creditworthiness, obligations or projected expenses.

Without Ministers; not a single known adviser, and without any working team besides obsequious cohorts who worship him, President Buhari is already abusing his official duties, making contradictory policy comments, dictating unmanageable strategy undertakings, and flip-flopping with dire issues of national significance.

As a matter of urgency, the masses are waiting for their new president to at least acquaint them with his plans to proceed. They want to hear about the machinery to translate electoral promises into action, not about limousines, and jets. In a government structure where the President cannot communicate, cannot relate, and worse, cannot corroborate his own policies, there is every reason to worry. It is torturing that under the current regime, citizens have to rely on repentant party bloggers to know the fate of their current economic woes.
