Going into 2015, Nigeria faces two major threats in this order. 1. President Jonathan's ambition. 2. Boko Haram.

Rossikk:

Is the governor God? It is you people who give these officials this idea that they're untouchable deities. Better believe we are in a democracy and no one is above the law - including governors.

Lushgreen: An opinion on this incident.

1). Amaechi orders his Chief of Staff to launch the new PDP in Rivers State, knowing the likely outcome of such an action.

2). Someone tips off the Wike group, knowing what their reaction would be.

3). Wike's group heads to the venue of the launch ready to cause mayhem, knowing the police would arrive to prevent fracas.

4). The police arrives, seals off the venue, chases everyone away and barricades the road. Meanwhile Amaechi is somewhere getting situation report.

5). A few hours later, Amaechi leaves wherever he is (possibly the government house) and heads to the barricade road, to see the policemen's action.

Why this opinion?

1). It is clear Amaechi wants CP Mbu out of Rivers State and may do anything to achieve that

2). Amaechi is looking for reasons for the PDP crisis to continue so that his perceived enemies would never be seen as winners

3). Amaechi would do anything to make the world feel the FG is oppressing him.


An advice to Amaechi, Wike and their supporters

Rivers state is bigger than all of you. There will be no war in Rivers State or anywhere else.

cosmatika: ;DIf he has been barred frm entering d govt haus, he can come to my haus. He ll b highly welcomed

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.

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.

Why must you always bring the issue of the military take over! it is either you are too young to remember how bad it was in those days or you are one of those who benefited from the military largesse.

In democracy everywhere,there is always power tussle and leaders use whatever means to secure power, there is one ongoing between Amaechi and the present admin. Thats usual in a democracy time will tell who will prevail.
Before you guys start casting stones i will advice that you wait till the real story comes out. do you guys know what circumstances surrounded the police blockade? did they know it was the gov? did they think it was someone else trying to access the govt. house? did the police know the gov. itinerary? until more information is out on the issue, we all will be making baseless assumptions.

for you who is advocating military take over remember as much as i do not like the way GEJ and amaechi are going about their disagreement,that in military days Amaechi will not be acting the way he been acting towards the govt. at the centre. He is accorded this rights because we have democracy hence ability to dissent.
No matter how bad our democracy is we should all be rooting for it because the worst democracy is better than the best military rule. and as nigerians we know this by experience.

We know our man.....
He told us how they attacked Chidi Lloyd and now how they stopped him from entering the Government House.

tokunboh:

Bro, can you please run a brief analysis of this map for the ignorant ones to understand. This map simply shows there are alternative routes our man, Amaechi could have taken. The Demi-god of confusion is out to do what he does best - confusion and distortion of facts.

tokunboh: 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

vanunu: Surely it won't end well for GEJ administration, Nigeria has never had it so bad! This impunity is just too much.



You are an idiot, so if a road is closed by police for security reasons, they will allow the governor to pass because he has two heads.

adanny01:

Do you expect a convoy transporting more than a hundred people including the governor to make a u-turn?

Do you know the term called leverage? The president is using police the only leverage available to the Governor is the media. If the governor paid the media to report this, who paid the police to barricade the road? The police can only be right if they refuse him access to the new PDP premises but not that road, whether its his usual or not.

Do you know what it means to be the chief security officer of a state? It is the duty of the police to advice and its the govenors right to reject their advise which they have to obey whatever choice he makes even if it endangers his life.

enigmang:

God bless you for this... It is obvious Amaechi was just looking for attention: besides that is not his normal route he takes: those saying the CP should ensure any route he decides to pass is clear are the once that will still cry foul if there was a problem at the New PDP sec because i can bet a whole lot that Amaechi was actually going to the new sec

texaco1: to be honest I think I will blame Gej for all this rubbish and nonsense going on.he is not acting like a President and neither as the Leader of PDP.he has been too soft and too dull in dealing with people like amaechi and co and now they seem to have grown wings. No PDP gov would have dared all this trash with obj or even the late yaradua of blessed memory.

porka:

How old are you?

Kanwulia: IZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ A LIE!!!!!
I refuse to believe this.
Please, stop spreading FALSE RUMORS!!!

[size=20pt]OP. . . .PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROVE IT!!!![/size]

Policewoman: I thought the CP Mbu had been redployed??

tokunboh:
Amaechi came up with a parallel secretariat which is illegal in the first place and he already knew that road has been cordoned off. Why find trouble where there is none? You may want to lecture me on what it means to be a Chief Security Officer but Amaechi's actions does not portray him to be one.

NB: The police does not report to the Governor and they do not have to obey whatever the Governor says - Read more about separation of powers. Thank you

omogidi234:


[b]Separation of power is a term used to denote the powers of the legislature, executive and judiciary arm of government as distinct from one another. The three arms both act as a check to one another. It has nothing to do with the Nigerian Police, p[/b]lease read the Constitution very well. The Police takes Orders from the President while the Police can take Orders from the Governor subject to verifying the Order from the President.

In this matter there are two authorities, The Constitution and The Police Act but the Constitution supercedes the Police Act. I would rather go with the provisions of the Constitution.

NB: Please ensure you arm yourself very well before you dabble into discussion, this is secondary school government subject and some 100L legal method. Thanks.
