He Emerged Minority Leader given to thefact that he belonged to the opposition party, ANPP.

Nyesom Wike became his Chief of Staff.

There has never been a squad like this since the creation of Rivers State till Date. They were so powerful that everyone, even had advise Governor Amaechi to pushthem to Abuja because Rivers State could no longer contain them. The Power was too much yet they Blossomed.
In 2011, There was no opposition in Rivers State except some adults playing in the sand.
Amaechi Returned as Governor fora Second Term. Nyesom Wike became Minister for State for Education. Magnus Abe became a Senator. Dakuku became Member, House of Representatives.
In 2015, the center could no Longer hold but today, Amaechi is the Minister of Transportation, Nyesom Wike is the Executive Governor of Rivers State, Magnus Abe is in the Senate and Dakuku is the DG of the Big Cash Cow "NIMASA" after running as The Gubernatorial Candidate of the APC in2015.
WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS, THESE FOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE OF RIVERS STATE. They might still be in Charge for at Least The Next 4 Years.
AMAECHI is the Leader of APC in Rivers State.
Wike is the Leader of PDP in Rivers State.
From a little beginning,they bonded and later became the strong men of NOT JUST RIVERS POLITICS BUT Nigerian Politics.
WHAT IS YOUR CIRCLE LIKE?
WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

The most subtle and powerful is Magnus Abe, while Wike is the most fortunate and courageous. Amaechi only benefited from them at the initial stage while Dakuku leached on any opportunity from their friendship... Up till date. grin grin cheesy cheesy
