Well deserved appointments to Chief Oyegun and Senator Uchendu. I have no doubt that their wealth of experience will be brought to bear.

That's Oyegun's Alma mater....maybe it will help resolve the crisis there.


Infact, Amaechi wrote this UNIPORT's own in Ubima oooo
Anyways, Uchendu was a fine legislator.

It's all good for Rivers Politics.

Oyegun should be allowed to retire,he is of no relevance...
Amaechi personally wrote the names of uniport board in his bedroom.they will make sure an apc pliant vc like that kalabari prof will emerge who will produce pro apc inec adhoc staffs.very strategic.the timing was superb...maybe that is why wike gave uchendu son an appointment to spy on his dad.

Giadom too has been rewarded.chidi Lloyd should have been patient

fergie001:

The VC will most likely go to another State with his people. They swap them, most likely Bayelsa.

Make una leave Baba Oyegun for us oooo.....we like am

garfield1:


Na wa for you oh.the vc will go to another state but will compile the list or nominate a loyalist most likely in ASUU to do it. Prof zanna used prof Tony eyang for that process so amechi knows what he is doing....at least 50% of the collation staffs will be from uniport...

Let oyegun surrender the post for someone younger like adams

Adams Oshiomhole....You are all out for power grab. How to take it, how to grab it. I would have been taking you more serious if CRS was an APC state.

All.this your analysis, implement it in CRS nah....

Let ayade defect first before then.crs is a dead case,it is not strategic nationally.both parties can do without the state but rivers is very very strategic.one insider said ayade will defect before next week elapse.let's wait...

That reminds me,if sandy emerges pdp candidate or that of another party,he will easily win.he is a prof in unical and those lecturers doing election will naturally work for him.see goodluck.....

fergie001:

All this your political analysis is most needed in CRS APC.

You start from your home before looking outside.

garfield1:


Rivers is now my adopted state as a resident

fergie001:

If you are picked tomorrow as a Guber candidate, you will vote in Rivers?

All politocians know you begin from the home-front.

garfield1:


I may decide not to dabbke into full-time politics

fergie001:

Unless that.....

garfield1:

Why do you even want me to analyse about crs politics? It is boring and uninteresting and revolves around pdp.I even learnt that hon Alex egbona is being pushed by sen sandy to defect so that he will take his senate slot.no competition.
