why are APC apologist crying blue murder? is Amaechi a member of APC? oh is a traitor in PDP planted by APC to cause mayhem in PDP but HE HAS FAILED. readin some messages here, one will think some of you are seasoned political analysts but in the real sense, you all(pro-APC and Anti-gej) are bunch of ignorant folks. Amaechi is a goner, if he likes let him cry that he won ngf, na him problem be that. in fact Amaechi is the chairman of APC Governors Forum. NGF belongs to JANG who has conveyed his First meeting and with whopping 18 GOVS in attendance plus MORE to attend. Amaechi should convey his own and lets see who the majority are that voted him. |

Re: Okorocha - NGF Election Was Credible, Amaechi Won by gratiaeo(m): 6:51am On May 29, 2013 |
Okorocha is either ignorance or a liar and can not be trusted. Below is Mr Peter interview 48hours after the erection not this cock and bull story from Okorocha "The crisis rocking the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) deepened yesterday with opposition governors and anti- Amaechi group sticking to their positions 48 hours after a controversial election that split the 36 governors’ camp. Relying on the NGF’s constitution, Anambra State Governor Peter Obi said it does not make room for re-election of a sitting chairman. Rivers State Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi was re- elected NGF chairman by 19 governors in theelection that was held in Abuja last Friday. Plateau State Governor JonahJang is recognized by 16 governors as the new boss of the influential body. The anti- Amaechi governors claimed there was no election but the NGF’s Director-General, Mr. Ashishama Okauru, disagreed, saying Amaechi won the election even as Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi was sad over the controversy trailing an exercise which he described as free and fair. Reacting to the development, Governor Peter Obi said that the re-election of a sitting chairman has no place in the NGF’s constitution. A chairman, he noted, could only serve a single, non-renewable term. Speaking to Daily Sun in Abuja yesterday, Gov. Obi said the NGF which was modeled after American Governors’ Forum constitution, prescribes only a single two-year term for a sitting chairman with no proviso for re-election. Gov. Obi revealed that the amended constitution which Gov. Amaechi relied on to run in the controversial election was not only doctored, but was never ratified by the larger bodyof governors. He claimed that Amaechi’s re- election could not stand because he was not the consensus choice of the body. “Four out of the five governors in the South-East said Gov. Jang is their choice; five out of the six governors in the South- South recognise Jang as their chairman; in the North, it is the same thing, so what are we talking about? This is a body of equal partners, a voluntary group, and there has never been a time we had election. It had always been by consensus. They doctored the constitution which was never even ratified.” Excerpts : What is your view on the contentious NGF election? First, let me say that in the history of our forum, we have never had chairmanship election . In Ilorin, we were about seven governors, later on Oshiomhole came by the time Amaechi was selected.. Was he elected or selected, was it done through consensus? Let me tell you what happened , we just arrived there and they said that we need to have a new leadership . Everybody was like, it was going to be me because I was the vice based on the constitution. The then governor of Bayelsa State, Sylva said Amaechi , then the PDP governors said Amaechi. Nothing else, nobody said; raise your hand . It was just like that . It has always been through consensus, when we agree we agree. Initially what worked against me was that they argued that I’m a non – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor. In fact, I have letters , documents to back what I am saying . You are perceived as a man of integrity. What exactly happened? For you to understand, let me continue with what happened in Ilorin. they said that it should not be me because am not from PDP, it was actually zoned to the South-East . Let me tell you the background so that you will understand this very well. When we were having a little bit of problem with Saraki and governors wanted to remove him, we decided that we must formalize everything concerning the forum . We went and borrowed the American Governors’ Forum constitution which says that there would be a chairman and vice chairman . After two years, the chairman leaves and the vice takes over, a new vice is appointed. That is the American constitution and that was what we adopted. Based on this, on the day we agreed to this, I was elected the vice chairman under Saraki. That was in 2009. It was by consensus, the governors said let Peter Obi be the vice Chairman. That was how I became the vice chairman. How come there is a problem of re-election? It is not supposed to be. That document is doctored. What we adopted has no provision for re- election . The American Governors’ Forum constitution says after two years, the vice will automatically take over. So, there is no issue of reelection . This like an NGO of equal partners. After I served for two years, when it was 2011 they brought the issue of PDP being the majority party. I was the only APGA governor then. They zoned it to the South-East, the then four PDP governors in the south east signed and said they wanted me. At that stage, they decided to look for another zone. That was how Amaechicame into being. But we understand that a section on non-re-election was amended at the Corporate Affairs Commission? Let me tell you, all those things were not approved by anybody . They doctored it. I am one man who attends every meeting, I can’t remember ever sitting down and adopting the constitution you are talking about. Was there truly an election, what happened? As far as I am concerned, in Kwara , aparticular governor said they should not conduct election in Kwara because we do not have a quorum . He was told that a quorum is 12 . Andeven in this constitution, they are quoting now, our quorum remains 12. If the quorum is 12 and 12 don’t want you, that means you should even not contest. And the 18 are saying, you don’t recognize him? If the quorum says it is 12 and 12 do not want you , the game should be up, I don’t see anything anybody will stay a day longer for. As we speak to you now, who is the chairman of NGF? For me, for our zone, our support goes to Jang. Let me tell you my stand on this, I support Jang based on consensus and based on the agreement of my zone. Do you feel bad that Amaechi is insisting on re-election when he knows how he himself emerged? The way I see it is that it is a voluntary organisation which nobodyshould insist on being the chairman . If the quorum is 12 and 12 people have said no, it should end there. Meanwhile, Governor Fayemi has described Amaechi’s re- election as victory for democracy, saying that the decision of the forum to opt for election instead of consensus was as a result of democratic growth. Fayemi, who spoke with journalists at his Ishan-Ekiti country home at the weekend, however urged Nigerians to see the emergence of Amaechi as strictly a demonstration of his colleagues’ confidence in his leadership of the Forum and not a victory over the Presidency. Fayemi said: “It is a contest among governors for the chairmanship position and it would be wrong for anyone to consider it a contest between President Goodluck Jonathan and Amaechi as the President was not a contestant.” Fayemi described as “sad” comments by the anti-Amaechi governors that the NGF election was rigged. According to him, it is sad and soilingthe integrity of anyone who holds such a belief. He added that the election which was recorded on tape was one of the most credible he had witnessed. In a related development, Jang has pledged to unite the governors’ forum. The governor who stated this yesterday at the Yakubu Gowon Airport in Jos shortly after his arrival from Abuja where he emerged as theChairman of the NGF, said he never bargained for the position, but out of God’s work he emerged. He pledged to give the forum the best, stressing that the NGF should not divide the Governors Forum. Meanwhile, Plateau citizens came outen-masse to celebrate his emergence with many saying they were caught unawares as they never expected it. h |

owobokiri: The governors forum should be abolished. Jonathan should then declare "no victor- no vanquished" Amechi style! It is nothing but a weird invention that serves no useful purpose other than to massage the ballooning egos of some wayward state chief executives. This group should be scattered and members forced to be more productive in their states with impeachment threats from Abuja dangling over their capitals like the sword of Damocles. . Okorocha should also learn where to draw the line between defending his personal interests and fighting for his states. His APC is DOD in Imo. Turning Imo into a hotbed of opposition politics when the state can do with a lot of federal help is counter productive and should be stopped. As productive as his two years in power has been, he should always remember that one of the main propaganda tools deployed against him by the opposition before his election was the charge that he was a northern stooge. Some of his recent actions and outbursts don't seem to help in changing this deep rooted perception. . It is a registered corporate body with internal mechanisms that produced Amaechi as chairman. Those making noise are unpatriotic elements looking out for their selfish interests. |

gabinogem: which roads, which schools?! Mr man, i hope it's d rivers state i'm in u are talking about. As a matter of fact amaechi has made life unbearable for both indigene and both non-indigene in d state...Don't mind that bufo0n of a mad man. He just came to rivers for only 9 years from his slump thinking he has seen development. He doesn't know what PHC used to be like or he failed to asked why Phc is called Garden City. RSUST is on strike-something that NEVER happened during Odili regime except for the general ASUU strike. Odili provided free transport to secondary/primary school kids, Odili constructed roads, Free Train movement for Undergraduate and School children, Odili provided Skills empowerment program for youths, graduate and undergraduates and PAY them as at when due etc. inasmuch as i loathe Peter Odili for concentrating more on PHC, i prefer 1billion Odili to Northern Stooge and noisemaker Amaechi. The core north and APC/ACN are apologist of Amaechi simply because they planted him as judas to get power from Jonathan through the back door and by betrayal. But Dr. Jonathan is seriously disappointing them and frustrate their efforts. I hope Amaechi relocates to Maiduguri or Osogbo after his impeachment cos RIVERS state will not contain him and the entire IJAW nation-oh i forgot he'd first spend some decades in prison. hahaha.

Rochas is just doing abrakadabra in Imo state. Am really disappointed. He's just like Udenwa, ohakim. Gov Mbakwe finished all the work in Owr munincipal and environs, why are these new generation Governors kept on recycling and renovating Owerri main town while there are severall linking roads to some major LGAs that needs serious attention. Towns in Owerri North and West are suffering to connect from home to state capital.several promises yet to be fulfilled. Its quite disheartening. Just used pouring of laterite to do people poopi like all the roads will be done in a flash. Not even to mention other aspect of infrastructura dev. Its over two years now, before you know it another two is gone! I still give to Gov Mimiko of Ondo state,I have spent 4 yrs in that state now and have been in almost all the local Govt Area. There's no place U won't see a significant mark left by his govt. I his 1st two years, he was able to do what Agagu couldn't do in 6 yrs. Rochas pls try and prove to us U are what U made us believe U are.But first U must disassociate ur govt with those failed 419ers serving as either spiritual adviser, protocol officer etc.They are the ones stifling progress in Imo state and dragging ur name to the mud. |
