Pattey:

Must you comment? I feel soooo tempted to call you a damned fool but I won't.

What has your comment got to do with a serving governor being denied access to the government house!!??!!! Even if his convoy was 'diverted', when did that start in Nigeria?

Are you aware of the security implication? Incase you're so daft and blinded (not saying you are, just in case you are) in being a GEJ apologist, the routes are carefully chosen and planned in advance.
What happens if the diversion was to lead them into a trap?

Lastly, eventho I want to call your comment an idiotic spin, last time I checked, Governors still enjoy immunity from ANY legal proceeding. That makes your comment as inconsequentially dumb as GEJ you desperately advocate for.


I still refuse to describe You as the slowpoke you are. You shall not hear it from me.

Pribo: Pls the media shud not be seen as a ready tool in the hands of political jobers. Amaechi has earlier in the day thru his COS opened a parallel PDP office on Forces Avenue about three streets away from the Govt House back gate. The Police had stopped that lawlessness and had sealed off the office (which was Amaechi's former campaign office) and the adjoining streets.
The Gov'nor was going to the GH thro this blocked forces avenue and was barred from passing thro that road. He eventually went thro the main gate. Pls the facts shud be put straight. IF YOU BRING ANTS INFESTED FIREWOOD. ....

This is the only truth of the whole matter. The Governor usually uses the making gate into the govt house, which is on Azikiwe road. Why must it be today that there was fracas near that back gate, that he must pass through with the same team of his new PDP? Why look for trouble with open eyes. The streets around that back gate was blocked following the fracas earlier in the day. The governor is simply not above the law. He is just seeking sympathy. Not mine though.

texaco1: I won't trade insults with u,but read the report again and this time around read it slooooowly and carefully then digest it,maybe then you will understand the situation better.

Was the governor's route blocked and the governor asked to use another route? Does it make any sense to you? Does it sound normal to you? I can understand why you jonathanians feel the need to support his every action: goof or bad, but crying out loud, this amaechi matter just goes to prove that this president is confused and daily getting dangerously desperate!

Sincere 9gerian:
You guys are just shameless hypocrites. How many of you cried foul when Amaechi and his gang of northern governors cloned the PDP and called it newPDP and sacked the PDP leadership? Is it constitutional to clone an already existing body? It seems what determines what is wrong or right depends on whose on the receiving end. If the president is on the receiving end (like the newPDP) you celebrate but when those on the other end are at the receiving (eg NGF election, Rivers crisis) you scream illegality.

I insist that the police has every right to stop the governor if what he's about to do will lead to break down of law and order. You guys forgot that president can declare state of emergency all over nation or any part of the country. When it comes to law and order or enforcing the law, extra-ordinary measures can be taken. I deal with FACTS, not sentiments. I also stated that if the reason for stopping the governor was not because of law and order or enforcing the law, then the police is wrong and those involved in the act should be sanctioned. That is my position

.oh!,what a waste of human space.I dont know u but pity those sincere nigerians that know u.

my brother na you get time to dey argue with them here ,leave them with their nairaland analysis . very soon all their eyes go clear

Sincere 9gerian: The police authorities are not fools. No one is above the law. If Gov Amaechi engages in acts that infringes on the laws, it is the constitutional responsibility of the police to call the governor to order. No sentiments. However, if the police acted unlawfully in this instance, then the president should sanction whoever was responsible.

This dude ure obviously insane! An elected official is denied access to his office by gun totting policemen and ure hailing this action? I hope ur bent mouth stays the same shape should the Military decide to deny GEJ access into Aso Rock.

The people supporting GEJ in this open show of raw power are:

The paid agents

The gullible SS/SE emotionally filled and ethically bankrupted ninnies

Their arguments so for on this thread exhibit crass ignorance....and total desperation to rationalize a failed govt's brazen illegal activities.

Sincere 9gerian:
Is that what the constitution says? If the governors entry into the govt house thru that route will cause break down of law and order, it is the constitutional responsibility of the police to prevent that from happening.

Break down of which law, do we have laws in this country?
There have to be thorough investigations and publicized results before the police can take such action against an elected governor, Mbu is only trying to intimidate Amaechi period.

You are begging the question. The governor can decide to use any route cleared by his chief security officer. It is the responsibility of the police to ensure that any route the governor decides to use is secured.
It is not the place of the commissioner of police to determine the route the governor takes and definitely not his place to prevent him from using a route for any reason whatsoever . It is even more ridiculous to think that police could not clear the route, allow the governor to pass and resume whatever they were doing before the governor came.
The issue here is that a lot of dangerous precedents are being created as a result of this river state crisis that some of you defending this unending streams of illegalities and irrationalities would one day come to regret.

I perceive u r no fan of Amaechi. I'm nt in Port-hacourt but I wnt 2 say that this is most unfair nd an insult 2 nt jst Amaechi but d pple of Rivers in a Federal democratic system. Y is such nt done 2 oda pro-GEJ governors abi na only Amaechi sabi comit crime(which he didn't nyway else he wnt b askd 2 tak anoda route buh arrested)
Can such b done 2 GEJ even if he commits a crime?so pls dnt say d Police r nt fools...dey r stooges of God-knows-who

GEJ has made the Amaechi project more popular than even his cassava bread project.


Foolish president.

what u r saying in essence is d constitution givs rite 2 d CP is act ultra vires in d name of maintainin law nd order. I say no 2 that. What reason did they giv?how can gov passage rsult in brk down of law nd order?I kep asking can it b done 2 d President in d name of Keepinglaw and order? Y must it b in Rivers? Pple jst abuse power..he must understand Amaechi even has greater powers nd responsibility 2 maintain law nd order.
This is a bad precedent dat mst b condemned in very strong terms

Foolish president.

That reminds me, what happened to GEJ's cassava bread project?

We are so backward to the extent that we always think it is right for rules to be bent for some people because they are highly placed. The New PDP secretariat that Amaechi opened illegally happens to be on the road that leads to the Government house. This secretariat was sealed with the road barricaded so as to prevent illegality and the breakdown of law and order. This is in line with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Amaechi is not in anyway different from other thousands of people that were barred from taking that road. He was even advised to take another route to the Govt House. Amaechi knew the road has been barricaded, yet he decided to take that route hoping that the police will allow him pass because he is the Governor. The law is above any man, and as such Amaechi should respect the laws and constitution of the land he has be falsely claiming he is defending. Let him stop making issues out of nothing, he could have used another road instead of the one that was barricaded. The press also needs to toe the line of decorum, why would they report that Amaechi was barred from the Govt house when he was only prevented from using one of the numerous roads that leads there. I stopped taking our tabloids seriously because I know 90% of their reportage can never be fair/balanced cos most of the news they report are sponsored and paid for. Yeye na virus oo, it spreads

Can you point out the part of the constitution that makes it illegal to form a rival faction in a party? Almost all political parties in Nigeria have at one point had a fraction (APGA most recently).. Can you please tell us what actions the police took then?

my broda, APGA neither formed a new APGA nor opened a new APGA secretariate.

talk2s: WHAT A LIE!
He was not allowed to enter into Govt. House via a certain route, but he still entered into the same Govt. House via s different route.
Not 'denied access' completely, as sounded!

Pls dnt b ridiculous cos u hate Amaechi. Wah rite does he hav 2 do daT? Is he Amaechi's superior. If dis is nt condemned it'l b replicated in oda states.dat wil mean CP is d highest office in a state. 9ja y mst it hapen in our time?

2015 is just around the corner ,
who no know go know

The Anglican Archbishop of the Niger Delta Diocese has been missing for nearly a week.
Yet this so-called errand boy of a commissioner of police is interested in being used as a political pawn.
This Nigeria under Jonathan sef.

Lol, u r d one in total desperation 2 discredit our presido, thus exhibiting crass ignorance. In fact, it shud hv bn shoot at sight 4 anybody found within d premises of d illegal "new PDP" secretariat.

chronique: One thing is evident in this country. Nigerians are the architect of their own problems and would continue to be so. The rate at which the mass media is being used to malign the president is so bad. If this continues,we'd have a scenario where future leaders would suffer this same fate in the hands of the opposition and this would not augur well for us as a nation. Those doing this already know that a lot of Nigerians aren't usually objective in their analysis of things and seeing how sentimental Nigerians can be,they'd do all to make the president guilty in the court of public opinion. Majority of the people who comment on this Amaechi/GEJ do not live in Rivers state and probably have little idea about the true state of things. The headline of this article is malicious as there's nowhere where it states that Amaechi was prevented from entering the govt house in the body of the article. But already,a lot of pple have found it easy to attribute the cause of the problem to GEJ. The sad part is that the uneducated ones would read this and report it in a different way to their folks,thereby,causing unnecessary hatred for the president.

Rubbish! Go and take your medication.

adanny01:

Bros!

If you so much believe that the south west and the north 'malign' with you and your bro who had no shoes, why do you still have hope that some one from otuoke will have a chance to win an election in 2015?

You can as well tell you bro to stop fighting retire in peace.

The only thing they know how to do best is play ethnic card.

D more we talk abt jonah d more I realises d slowpoke is certainly retarded!

callmenow: The reportage of the journalists based in our country is diabolical. Gov. Amaechi was asked to use the front gate of his mansion because the back gate is insecure. Which any reasonable will agree to very readily. However, because Gov. Amaechi and the commissioner of police (CP) in the state are at logger heads, advice from the police for his own safety is wholly misinterpreted to show the CP in bad light. This is a non story. It is the silly season where anything goes. The fifth estate should avoid lazy reporting to avoid the inadvertent break down of law and order.

1, The report did not mention the Governor's convoy being informed in advance. In case you have also CONVENIENTLY forgotten, the Governor's escort commander who would have been given such an information was recently 'RECALLED' by the same CP.
So, who was informed in the Governor's security retinue?

2, Its Fourth Estate of the realm, and I'm a proud member

This Amaechi is a pesky little mosquito that will soon be crushed once and for all. You insist on "winning" a needless battle you started with the president, and one of the strategies for achieving this dubious goal is to bribe the hopeless and unprofessional media to create public sympathy for you.

This buffoon disobeyed a subsisting court order and went ahead to open an illegal factional PDP office close to government house. That action forced a closure of the illegal office and necessitated a temporary barricading of the road leading to that illegal office in order to forestall a breakdown of law and order. Yet the irritating mosquito called Amaechi insisted on going through that road to 'make a point'. What an intolerable twerp!

I am certain that this eediot will be removed from office sooner than later, legally or extra-legally. His continued presence on the political scene is completely untenable. He will NOT be governor by this time next year. You all can bookmark this post for future reference.

Post Fully Endorsed . . .

I can see some slaves escaped from the palace to make the last slavery comments preceeding this notice.
In the kingdom of Iku akpolokpolo, slaves arrent ment to have any say. No one slave from that palace will expect Amaechi to have any right to aspire. It is a capital sin.
These Slaves are not one by circumstance, but by the quality of their thoughts.
It is a pity.
