"Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others" - Niccolo Machiavelli
London (NDR) – It seems that Niccolo Machiavelli had Governor Chuibike Amaechi of Rivers State in mind when he made the above statement. This aptly captures the political situation he is in presently.
From been the Personal Assistant (PA) to the former governor of Rivers State – Dr. Peter Odili to Speaker Rivers State House of Assembly and now Governor of Rivers State, he has secured himself and can now attack anyone (including President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife) who dares to be an obstacle in his desperate quest for more political powers. Call that ambition. Yes! Amaechi is very ambitious, but to waste N5 billion just to lobby for vice presidential slot is very outrageous! Is that all? No. Few months ago, NewsDay Reporters reported how Amaechi shared N300 million to selected “Bloggers” otherwise known as Cashivists during #TheAmaechiIknow. He has also put aside over N30 billion for this ‘special project.’ No thanks to the recent approval of N19 billion by the State House of Assembly to be withdrawn from the State reserve.
Many people that attended the All Progressive People (APC) mega rally held at Adokiye Ameisima stadium of Greater Port Harcourt City on the October 25, 2014, thought that it was actually to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the historic Supreme Court verdict in 2007 that enthroned Amaechi as the authentic and duly elected Governor of River State. That was just a front.
One of Lai Mohammed’s aides – who doesn’t want his name in print has it that, the rally was meant to show APC stalwarts that Amaechi can pull the needed South-south and Southeast votes if given the vice presidential slot, so as to edge out the preferred candidate for the position – Govern Babatunde Fashola. In his words:
“Amaechi is just wasting his time and money. How does he think he can edge out Fashola as the VP? He spent billions of naira, to make his man – Sam Jaja – APC national chairman, yet failed and now he is spending another billions to become the VP. He will definitely fail again because if Fashola is dropped, the Yoruba voters would vote Goodluck Jonathan”
True to that, Southwest APC governors and other members led by Governor Adams Oshomole – who support Fashola’s candidature, shunned the rally. But the success of the rally has put their camp in political disarray. Fashola is Buhari’s preferred candidate as a VP which made him to say that, he has no issue about Muslim-Muslim ticket. One of the reasons is that, Buhari wants to run with a conservative and coolheaded Fashola than a radical Amaechi. He is also adamant about the Muslim-Muslim ticket, having ran with Christians and failed in his last three presidential bids.
However, the only problem is Bola Tinubu – who doesn’t want Fashola as VP. Tinubu prefers Amaechi as VP because he feels that Fashola has come to an end of his political career for whatever reason. He has been working behind the scene to achieve this and was the brain behind this mega rally.
People have been asking how did Amaechi pull so many crowds in this rally? Tinubu told him that, the only way to edge out Fashola on the VP slot is to show APC bigwigs that he can actually secure the so needed South-south and Southeast votes. So, Amaechi brought out a whopping sum of N5 billion for the rally and disbursed to the following persons to mobilize the youths for the rally:
Mrs. Ibim Semenitari – the commissioner for Information and Communication – who also doubles as Amaechi’s mistress was mandated by the governor to see to the success of this rally. This woman is Amaechi’s “anchorman” and she is so powerful that men in Rivers State govt fear her more than the governor.
Pepperoni – the laundry man that runs a fast food chain and whose boss is Eric Idogun, mobilized people from Abia and Imo States. Most of the funds were and are still being disbursed from his Ada George office
Preye Aganaba – the lapdog who happens to be powerful due to his illicit affair with Ibim Semenitari (Amaechi’s powerful mistress) used his football foundation and mobilized the Bayelsa group
Henry Amadi – the Chairman PHALGA was also given huge sum of money as he hired dozens of 18 sitter buses to mobilize the youths in and around Port Harcourt city.
The youths mobilized for this rally were paid N5, 000 each as appearance fee. This is happening in a State where 2012 Corp members have not been paid their “allowee”; the over 13, 000 teachers the governor hired are still being owed many months salaries. Some of them have not been paid for once since they were employed. The Port Harcourt monorail where billions of naira was invested into has been abandoned due to “lack of fund”, yet the governor has the fund to rent crowd to lobby for VP slot. It is really true that a man with ambition can act desperately.

The Wonder boy has done it again

How much was spent on the saTAN rallies across the country?

A lotta fuuls entering my thread.

Amaechi problem continue............ (A P C)

Ameachi is a thief as history has shown.

REPENT NOW OF YOUR SINFUL EVIL WAYS TO AVOID ETERNITY IN HELL FIRE,,,,JESUS CHRIST LOVE AND WARN YOU TO REPENT AND CONVERT NOW TO AVOID HELL FIRE WHEN YOU

Indeed! His day of reckoning approaches

Arrant Beer parlour gossip packaged into a News article.......

PDP is sure afraid of Amaechi's towering political status

And for the part which reads 'if Fashola is not on the ticket,SWner will vote Jonathan'.......What a lie from the pit of Hell.

As much as Fashola remains the primus interpares for the VP slot,the useless and sentimental consideration for religious balancing in Nigeria's present day politicking might make APC thread softly about pairing him with Buhari

The suave SWners are eager for change and GEJ does not represent that mindset. Whether APC fields Fashola or Amaechi with Buhari,those who want the progress of Nigeria will vote out PDP

I couldn't agree with you more.

Amaechi spend that money like it is going out of fashion.

your nemesis is less than 4 mths away

APC membership in Rivers state is restricted Amechi,his wife,his commissioners and d house of assembly members loyal to him.Anybody in doubt shld ask him why he has refused to conduct local govt elections inspite of d several challenges by d PDP crew for him to do that.

Amaechi is on his last roll.

He is playing it big time now and like a foolish gambler his fortunes all depend on the dice.

Ameachi will continue with his oppressed image and continue venting out half truths and blatant lies in a hope to assuage the people of Rivers and the ND as a whole on why it will be of their better interest if he represents them as vice rather than GEJ as President.
The b.s. will not work and slowly before the end of January, Ameachi will be seen as a desperate corrupt politician struggling for sympathy and renewed impunity as vice President come 2015.

Ameachi will become more of a liability to his new alliance in the APC when series of scandals and sharp practicesby his administration are revealed. If you had doubts about this man's mental state wait till you see what he does in 2014. Amaechi will follow the old worn out tactic of political oppression he accuses the presidency and start his own persecution of opponents within his state. A series of high profile assassinations of his most vocal critics within Rivers alongside his recruitment and arming of criminal cult groups will see Rivers return to near anarchy. The Rivers assembly will sooner or later see reason to start impeachment against him. Ameachi at this instance will run to the courts (which he has of recently being discrediting) and start a revamped sympathy campaingn in the media of being oppressed by PEJ.

PDP HAS LOST RIVERS, KANO AND LAGOS STATES THE BIGGEST CITIES IN NIGERIA. IT'S UNFORTUNATE.

you think so? Wait till you get power drunk and you will know Amaechi's own is child's play. You ever wondered why our 19 billion was withdrawn few days to the rally without a single project to be done with that outrageous sum? He's worse than a dictator.
