REHOZIBAH:

Wat a hollow summation frm u! Immunity of PDP or Mr President? He only needs d immunity of d constitution of d Fed Rep of Nigeria which he currently enjoys!

Now other governors will sit tight? How old are u man? So u subscribe 2d use of crude force,threats n below d belt tactics in dealing wt perceived enemies who are junior to u!

There indeed was a country n there was a people!

My frnd go and read 48 laws of power,and u will notice for ur self ,the importance of crushing ur enemies with force when necessary.Amaechi has bcom a torn in the flesh,and shld be exterminated by any available means.Jona kari go,we dey support u.

if you are a novice of Nigerian politics using search engines shouldn't be a difficult task too.

I am not a novice, i wanted you to type it with your own hands. 'Witchhunting' is subjective, what you consider to be a witch hunt may be different from what i consider to be a witch hunt. Both governors got what they deserved. A governor is meant to focus on the task of governing his people and providing dividends of democracy for the electorates. Instead these two governors were only interested in fighting with mr President for their selfish gains.
Sylva has been found to have been very corrupt and as his case with the efcc progresses we are getting to know the massive scale of his loot from Bayelsa state. Amaechi himself knows that he has so many skeletons under his cupboard and they will be revealed soon.

the truth is that many young nigerians hate this pdp of a party.Jonathan is not even helping matters.

jmaine: Things are about to get awry as each faction bare their fangs . . . . Jona is not to be taken lightly cos this brute force shows he is turning the coat towards decisive actions . . .

Na who give uncle Jona [size=16pt]Brutanol [/size]drink . . . . .

bro GEJ need more of the brutanol, because some fools have been taken is meekness and huminity for stupidity. No body could try all these rubish with any other president, even they never try this to the dead president(yarudua).

The data available to me is inconclusive. Here are the facts known to me and all others:

• There was to be an NGF election.

• Amaechi was declared the winner.

• Some (if not all) PDP governors contested the results of the
election showing as proof 19 signatories for Jonah Jang as the
NGF chairman-elect.

• Amaechi is suspended from PDP on the alleged account of a sack
an LG executive council.

PDP's reason for suspending Amaechi is suspicious, assuming Amaechi's overstepped his powers (I need confirmation here) by sacking the LG council. I would expect a suspension after a meeting between parties involved has been achieved. This isn't the case. I will watch to see how this plays out in the months ahead.

oddy4real: If Governor Amosun of Oyo State all of a sudden becomes a rebel in the ACN, would Tinubu not remove him from the party? And did Tinubu not stylishly remove Femi Pedro and Akere Bucknor because they expressed 'contrary opinions'?
Gbawe, Symphony, Delafruita, Ilugun Boy and co should stay away from it. It is a PURELY PDP affair. If you discipline your child, should your neighbour interfere?

is only in nigeria ur neighbour wil not interfere,in advance nation,if u beat ur child,even d child or ur neighbour wil cal 911.and jona would have use style like tinubu,shame on jona

Frank-C:


Amaechi has always gotten sympathy and profound support from ACN/CPC folks even here on nairaland. Nothing really changed. Amaechi has never been more popular than GEJ in Rivers State and will never be. He has just made the remaining part of his regime unnecessarily more difficult. He will be terribly distracted and frustrated. Forces will realign in Rivers State. Even some of his commissioners don't have the liver to fight this battle. He will have to reshuffle his cabinet and be more cautious of his friends, something that he never planned for this time.

You don't poke your fingers into the eyes of a sitting President who happen to belong to the same political party with you as well as your party hierarchy and expect to go unscathed. It is pure foolishness.

people tend to believe Nigerians don't know their right from left! All these Gej battles will definitely work against him in 2015 and it will be too late for him because the majority of Northern,South West and some south south would vote for a credible precedential candidate which happen not to be Gej.

Take it or leave it, this may be the last president. From the south south which will ever rule Nigeria if he doesn't stop all his tribalism and un Nigerian behaviour because he should let use know if he is the precedent of south south and south east alone.

hello so gej is now a saint. we know how many times madam was apprehended by security operatives on her way to keep stolen funds aboard. are you a learner if you can compare gej governorship and presidential performance with cra then I definitely give up on you. I don't know the part of the constitution that makes it punishable to have an opposing view to the c- in-c. it only proving our earlier stance how the shoeless drunkard is an insecure low life opportunist.

if there is an opinion poll today of who Nigerians will prefer come 2015 between GEJ and Amaechi, GEJ will be surprise at the result

Prof Corruption:

1.Not really. But suspension might not really be much of a surprise to him considering the fact that the powers in PDP had ignored him like a leper for a long time. There's nothing new by "officialising" the so called suspension via a press release.

2.So suspension in this case signals more of what's coming. The option of destabilizing Rivers state to activate state of emergency is not attractive. So, they can't unleash ex-militants on him. The option of declaring his seat vacant should he be finally expelled is equally not feasible. There is a legal precedent (courtesy of Atiku's struggle) that only a court of competent jurisdiction can make such pronouncement. The workable option available is impeachment.

3.If Amaechi has a strong hold on Rivers House of Assembly, then GEJ is messing with himself big time. The end result would just be like NGF election. Despite intimidation, threats and political chicanery, his proxy lost woefully. However, if the ranks of the Assembly Members can be broken via inducement and promise of political portfolio a la 2015 ( a development that can not be totally ruled out), the impeachment ll be fast (not necessarily legal) as seen in many cases before Dariye, Ladoja, Peter Obi.

4.The powers to suspend LG chairman are more vested in the assembly than the Governor. A governor can not remove LG chairman without the approval of the house. A curious twist is the unwillingness of the PDP to sanction other assembly members who supported the decision. Are these honourable members also not PDP members qualified to be sanctioned like Amaechi? They are insulating them largely for a possible future role.

4.Above everything, GEJ is fighting an unnecessary war.In 2015, overall figures may be different but GEJ will win in Rivers State irrespective of who the governor is-Amaechi or Not.

5.His real headache is the North. Why can't he take on Aliyu for instance?

Nice analysis but GEJ dare not touch Aliyu, he touches Aliyu, he touches the north. He wouldn't want to make that mistake, at least not now.

The fact still remains GEJ is on his way out. He won the last election because he was perceived as a "saint". Now he's shown he's just like obasanjo.

APC has the key to remove GEJ only if they get their calculations right. Unfortunately Fashola is a muslim so he can't be a running mate to a northerner. That would have been a game killer for PDP.

Just maybe APC can look towards SE to produce a running mate for whoever they bring out from the north. The question is will that person be very influential?

GEJ has lost SW already, he should forget about that and he's stepped on so many toes waiting to munch him come next year. Amaechi started his fight too early but might just be a sacrificial lamb to expose GEJ and show his "evil" nature.

Let's wait and watch the movie, its a very interesting one.

KLINO: if there is an opinion poll today of who Nigerians will prefer come 2015 between GEJ and Amaechi, GEJ will be surprise at the result

Yes, we know ACN peeps will vote for him. Tells a lot really...lol

Must the south east always plays a second fiddle to the north I can't see your postulations working and its too soon to conclude that the SW is against GEJ.

Timehin:

Even with his suspension he didn't have the gut to mention names and I thought he's a strongman

Watch out for the next episode which i think will be a kind of solidarity from Northern and western Governors. Soon GEJ will be surprised at the turn of events. PDP is too hasty, immature and shallow in their actions.

Please do not compare him with Obasanjo at all. OBJ was like a saint till his second term in office. GEJ has only been there 2 years. Let us just pray he does not turn into something else in the 3rd year. Absolute power is not good for Nigeria.

From the numerous ill-formed posts on this thread portray most Nigerians as irredeemable sycophants. How is it humanly possible that a person of human intellect will continue to refer an association such as APC (All Progressive Congress) as a political party?

As I am writing this post, APC (All Progressive Congress) is not and may not become a political party in Nigeria.

Oh! Did you just mention that GEJ is in his second year in power? Magical this Amaechi touch really is. When it comes to his achievements in office, you will compare him with OBJ's 8 years in office but you see what Amaechi has done to your mind?

Amaechi's luck is that I am not the President. I would have brought out 6 months and unleash the full weight of my powers on him. He is lucky that GEJ is insisting that PDP deal lawfully with him...

Tambuwa/Okorocha or Donald Duke is it. Buhari and Tinubu should just stay at the background. Then we can hav a formidable opposition to GEJ and non performing PDP that has led Nigeria for such a long time without nothing to show for it.

Unfortunately SE can't be d president in d nxt election. Dey'll av to play 2nd fiddle to d north just lyk SS did to get there.

Aint it glaring SW is for APC? APC bribing them with roads and co while GEJ keeps missing it in SW. He's sidelined SW and wants to use Fasheun to get to SW. Fasheun has no control in SW. Gani Adams has more control over OPC than Fasheun. Fasheun and Gani Adams are fighting so how will Fasheun do it? Reviving UPN is a very late and lame strategy, Awoist are in ACN already

Lool, OBJ has always been a smart evil. We knew it but he's smart so he delayed his evil which is why Atiku was deceived.

thelastpope10:

You are now quoting Atiku? Is it that bad...

You just took the words out of my mouth! The more reason I call him Prof Confusion Atiku has suddenly become a sage to be quoted how confused can he be! Back to the issue on ground I think the worst that can happen to Jonathan is for him not to be picked at the PDP primaries but I don't see that happening! The moment Jonathan emerges as the Presidential flagbearer of PDP, my brother those oppositions should just bury their proud heads in shame! Because it's gonna be Jonathan till 2019!

thelastpope10: It is called anti-party activities. No serious party will condone anti-party activities. I am surprised it took this long to suspend him. He wants to eat his cake and have it. Not possible. If he thinks he can do it with APC, by all means let him give it a go and let us see. But he knows he cant, that is why he has refused to leave. But you just cant eat your cake and have it, simple.

Oh! For real? What will GEJ sell to SW now? He has no shoes? He's bringing fresh air? He's a saint? Maybe something u can help me out with.

The north can never support GEJ, take a look at the last election to confirm.

Unfortunately for GEJ he does not have a hold of all his party governors. Some northern govs want a northerner as president same as the northerners. Maybe you have forgotten about the violence that followed the election result in the north. SW has left GEJ, GEJ only has SS. Middle belt and SE will be divided maybe not equally but enough to hurt GEJs 2nd tenure.

As I said, its a movie, let's watch. Its an interesting one. *brings out popcorn*

Not sure if SS can be divided by any body, they'll prefer to be the president than the VP. So Duke is not feasible. I'm expect'n Okorocha or Ngige to be put forward tho just to frustrate SE votes because I doubt if they can win the SE for APC.

BOA®:
Afam...why are you directing us from one thread to another on this topic?

@Topic.

Just like GEJ took advantage of been an underdog in the run up to the 2011 elections...I hope Ameachi too can successfully use the strategy of an underdog been hunt down by a bully....

Nigerians generally like supporting the one they feel is been oppressed by a bully.

Only a foolish northerner will accept Ameachi as a vice president because the dude is ever ambitious and can't be trusted. Ameachi is a failed project take it or leave it.

nkem Kalu: ......Arrant nonesence. U people forget so easily. When Obasanjo was fighting Orji Uzor Kalu, the guy simply left PDP and formed PPA. In the following election, PPA trashed PDP in Abia state. Now the game is so so sweet for Amaechi. APC will quickly welcome Amaechi as a beautiful bride and PDP surely will be trashed in 2015 in River state. Let PDP suspend other governors from PDP that voted for Amaechi.....it is even a more welcomed development. PDP will soon be dead and buried.

What makes you think APC is a choice for Ameachi? He can win with any other platform but APC. Trust me Rivers people hates a more vocal opposition party.
