payless: Even in the US, we have governors and and senators who criticize and lambast Obama all the time without Obama trying to persecute them. Obama is the head of Democratic Party and members of his party disagree with him on a lot of issues. Yet, Obama has no right or power to hound them around like Jonathan and his aides doing. Amaechi is being pushed around by Patience and Jonathan but Amaechi won't have any of it. That is the beauty of democracy.

We are not practicing monarchical system of government. So, Jonathan is neither a king nor emperor.

df2006: most of you here fail to understand dat patience, was in rivers state politics even before Gej became a deputy Gov, like amaechi said she is a stake holder in rivers state, but to you all she's a house wife, ask rivers state indigenes, no be today she don dey politics for rivers. even before when amaechi was an ordinary personal assistant.

If you have nothing to say,just shaaaaat up.Does it mean bcus she has being in politice for so long,that now eventually make her more powerful than an elected state governor? People like you, unmmmmh!

Nigeria and US practice federal system of government; where separation of power is respected and state autonomy is also respected. Nigeria and US constitution are virtually the same. The drafting committee led by Bola Ige who drafted the Nigerian Constitution wouldn't be happy with lawlessness of this President when it comes to respect of state autonomy. Amaechi should be allowed to serve as Governor without interference from Jonathan or his wife.

melojames: Let's hear GEJ's side of the
tale too.

one thing I've come to discover about GEJ is a part of his strength which is his ability to ignore,so lets not open our ears cos he won't reply this may be the hippo patience will do the replying

AMAECHI SHOULD WATCH WELL OO AND KNW THAT NOBODY IS WITH HIM, EVEN CHIDI LLYOD IS GOING BY NYT TO ABJ PLEAD WITH WIKE HE WAZ CAUGHT PLEADING BY AN EX.WARD CHAIRMAN OF ANDONI.HMMM WE ARE WATCHING OO.NANS (GHANA)WE ARE SUPPORTING WHOEVA IS HUMBLE AND CALM,SOME1 SHOULD PLEASE TEL AMAECHI TO SEEK 4 PEACE B4 IT WILL BE TOO LATE O,EVEN MY UNCLE(sen.john.a.mbata)does who stay in p.h and knws M.C.C.A DOG THAT DOES NT WATCH HIS BK WEN GOIN TO FIGHT WIL ALWAYS SAY HAD I KNW..ALSO GEJ has tried to be calm without saying anytin.*a silent man is more dangerous o*wil advice everybody to embrace peace .*1 LOVE 9JA*9JA STUDENT AT GHANA.THANKS U ALL.

kaeto: True! The yorubas are working hard against GEJ, using every necessary tool to bring him down and amaechi is the tool they are using now. Be that as it may, i expect my yoruba brothers who are hier to noise making ancestors to always remember they have not made any president in Nigeria before and that whoever they support loses. MKO's case was different, all the regions made him. I mean look at all the people the yorubas supported in times past, they all failed. From awolowo, olu falaye, buhari in 2003, atiku in 2007, nuhu ribadu in 2011. The list is endless. They make good threats as well as political losers. Tinubu also knows he can't father an arrogant son like amaechi so why the hypocrisy? Its a pity amaechi's hands are not clean, with multi billion dollar refinery in ghana, investments littered all over the world, me think his wealth fuels his arrogance.

and wots ur own concerning yoruba's based on whom they supports?

constitution?federal system ?
we are talking about African party politics here , it has nothing to do with constitution , has anyone stopped amaechi from functioning as a governor ?this is a party affair and if you don't like the way your party is been run , just leave , that is what everyone is saying , he is calling himself a democrat ,fine that is good bravo to him. but then he is still a member of pdp and if he doesn't like the way president is doing his things instead of heating the polity by facing him he should just decamp to another party , then all this noise will go down, but he doesn't want to , why?
even members of the opposition have been telling him he has two options , either u stay in pdp and make peace with the president or you leave the party , he doesn't want to leave and neither doe he want to make peace

Wooow so why did he Amaechi suspend local government chairmen who were voted for??

texaco1:

pls don't bring ethnicity into this matter , how can you say the yorubas are supporting him ?even acn members have distanced themselves away from him ,Yorubas are matured politicians that knows when to fight and when to beat a retreat .most of the people advising him to go and make peace with the president or leave the party are yorubas , the point is he knows that the moment he leaves pdp he is finished , the very same reason atiku refused to leave pdp on time during obj time.
don't take tinubu statement on any national political issue as a general consensus statement from teh yorubas , tinubu is just a politician that is all

i will respect this comment and the commentator, you've proven to be reasonable beyond every doubt, Texaco1, you deserve some respect man.

yang: The problem is that Amechi has no respect for the office of the president and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic.

It is disgusting to watch him blab like a mad man.

The President of Nigeria is no mere politician, he is too busy to be distracted with all this beer parlour politics.

Please google ECOMOG, UNAMID, Joao Oliviera, Abuja Accord, and note the role of the President and Command in chief of Nigeria in West Africa and the whole of Africa.

Its a good thing that GEJ has refused to go down and join issues with him in the media, despite all.

U people have to respect GEJ, he is the President.

Look at you,does Jonathan wife an unelected woman has a right to pokenose in river state givernment affairs?
Does she have any respect to the office of the governor?
It is only in nigeria that people like you think that the president is God on earth,and that any argument with the president amount to disrespect.
If i may ask you,in what regard does the pdp and jonathan deserves ameachi's respect and royalty?
Was it not this same pdp that sideline ameachi after winning primary election in 2007?
Ameachi as a democrat, engaged legal means to gain his mandate back,it was not tukur,patient or Jonathan that brought him back,it was a competent court of law,so you cowards here can see that ameachi's problems with the pdp has started snce he made up his mind to be a governor.

you fail to understand what message that guy is trying to get across...... Inother words, PEJ deserves some respect once it comes to rivers politics. Her use,choice and command of the english language not withstanding PEJ has got structures even men who sees her as their jesus. Even Amachi understands she has a stack in Rivers politics. To just dismiss PEJ as a mere housewife is a disrespect on a hussling hardworking Amazon as PEJ. She was the one who introduced a gentle goodman GEJ into politics. Now how would you expect her to react when all you guys do is make a mockry of Mr President.....her husband. Ask yourself why this woman is reacting this way?

There is freedom of association. He has the right to stay in PDP even if he disagrees with the president. The president is not a king. Democracy is about disagreement and working out differences. Amaechi was elected under PDP and has the right to be where he is. Some of you don't know the difference between respect and fear. Amaechi respects the president but doesn't fear the president. Why should he fear the president? You want him to fear the president like a king.

How can this man openly say that he sat the president down. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen this man is tooo tooo arrogant.

toluleke: I feel so bad with the comments coming from people. To say your mind and open up about things is a crime. NIGERIA HAS NO FUTURE with this set of people

My sentiment exactly.

olas2u:

The are paid to post comments ,They are not really thoughts ,They are a crew of about several laptops.ignore them

'touts' u mean.GOD KNWS BST

jackymfon: guys slience doesn't mean stupidity; i think it was in Godfather that it was said"you should never let your enemy know what you are thinking". Would it kill Governor Ameachi to be quiet and act discreetly?

Yes!It was the godfather.Goshhhh! I LOV DAT MOVIE

I like this man, he's speaking sense

how is it that u talk with the temerity of a fooooool? so u are ok with what Africa has been offering in the name of politics. That means u have accepted ur fate as someone who has no option but suffer what "african politics" has to offer. If what ive said is not d case. Quietly think of ur own responsibility. Mscheeeeew!

y re they persecuting Amaechi 4 an ambition he has nt declared? do pdp expect amaechi's loyalty when they did nt want him to b gov in d first place. i support amaechi bc he is a man wit big heart, fearless and always ready 2 stand by the truth which the pdp and the powers that be are afraid of. those who are calling him fool are the worst fools.

Wait Wait NairaLanders let's be realistic, Amaechi has abetter quality as a president than Jonathan no one can dispute that !!! I dnt have anything against GEJ but the fact is dat Gej and his wife has decided to castigate the nation into a trouble market square !!! Ave said it GEJ has Low self esteem his wife is just an embarrassment to the heavens !!! Amaechi for 2015, Open your eyes why has Jonathan not come out to say something !!! By the way Amaechi for 2015 !!!

tokunboh: In this revealing and interesting interview, Gov Rotimi Amaechi opened up about his rift with President Jonathan. This is the most revealing interview he has granted till date on his face-off with GEJ/PEJ.
Kudos to the anchor/interviewer, he did a great job!!!

Can you define African politics? Please desist from deception! You should know what affects you. And you should be ready to contribute positively to it.
I don't know which level you stopped your education, but there's what is called constructive criticism, and this brings out the best in you. The opposition should spur the govt in power to perform in order to keep them quiet. In our case we see criticism as challenge.
If you were Rotimi Amaechi, what would you have done. Nigeria's democracy isn't a monarchy! GEJ is not our King! He BEGGED for our votes and we voted him in. I am sure Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi contributed in no small measures to get him elected in 2011. What right has Patience Jonathan got to tell the whole world that she's has been angry with the governor of her State for the past four years? Is this what you call African democracy? Please stop embarrassing yourself!
When you watch Barack Obama and Mitchel Obama speak aren't you moved? These two have forever made the black race proud! And for you information, Barack Obama is African! His father is Kenyan.
I urge all nairalanders to contribute positively in this forum. We should not allow online forums to be hijacked by people who aren't sure of what they are saying! But for the Rivers crisis we would not have seen / known the likes of Evans Bipi who are a desperate and willing (half-backd / unbaked) tool, who cannot even comport themselves / speak passable English, who call people 'jesus christ' and want to attain speakership / leadership by force and with the tacit support of some powerful hands.

It is high time we take true talk to our communities, to our streets and neighborhood to avoid a mistake in voting for credible leadership. I plead with the media to ensure that all those seeking for elective positions come out and debate and let the electorates properly assess them so that we can enjoy genuine democracy. God bless Nigeria

oshyno: Goshhhh this man's stupidity baffles me . U dont castigate the president openly especially in a country with weak institution like ours. Believe me Amaechi, GEJ has not looked ur way. When and if he does, Ghana wont contain u.

Why shouldn't he castigate the president , we have to make a new era, wasn't Clinton castigated even Obasanjo, who is he the person who is very happy in this tension seems to be Buhari he's sitting down laughing *in OBJ voice* " I Just Dey Laugh " !!!!

It goes beyond that,this is not about an ambition it goes far beyond that he isn't the only gov nursing such ambitions,why are the rest not been targeted?when the time comes u will understand.
The verdict has been given it is either amaechi plays or pays ,he knows time is running out for him.the choice belongs to him
