[size=13pt]If he needs to discuss with Amaechi, it is the same way the govt needed to discuss with the militants. It is the same way the govt felt the need to discuss with Boko Haram.

The truth is Amaechi holds no official position in any tier of Rivers govt. That the need to discuss with him should be seen as existing is testament to the fact that he is an external force instigating stability in the state.[/size]
[size=2pt]The only official things that needed to be discussed were:

1) Hand over notes. Here, not one hand over note was written by Amaechi. The only gov in Nigeria who did not scribble a single line of hand over note.

2) The billions he is alleged to have misappropriated.

On both issues, the govt is not pursuing the past governor[/size]

I didn't hear you take to the roof top in condemnation when in the build up to Ekiti and Osun general elections in 2014, Your lord and Master Tinubu became notoriously popular even in internatioanl communities for his "RIG AND ROAST ideology.


You are a hypocrite of the worst order!

ddippset:
this is between amaechi and wike só leave Odilli out for now. Later we can talk Odilli versus amaechi. Wike installed amaechi abi? Só where was wike when amaechi was speaker of the rivers state house of assembly for 8 years? Or wike installed him as speaker too? Wike was a political nobody while amaechi was the chief law maker for 8 years. Back to my very simple logic: dakuku as pdp candidate would have defeated wike as apc candidate by a landslide. TRUE OR FALSE?

ddippset:
of course you wouldn't hear me, your judgement stinks!

Governor is asked about his plans for Rivers State, he is talking of his paying workers salary, Judiciary, and uncompleted projects.

He is asked of monorail and he says its a no go area, he does not want to have headache.

otokx:


As usual they resort to insults when logical arguments fail, so you now agree that the road is incomplete abi?

When we said GEJ did not complete any project to impact the peoples life in Niger Delta, they will say no.

odikimi:

Just say in yo areas because in the Bomadi, Patani, Kolokuma local government areas in Delta and Bayelsa so many roads were constructed and completed by pdp government.

snailspeed:


Talk with Amaechi for what? What is the role of Amaechi in Rivers that requires Wike to talk with him? Amaechi is not even the APC party Chairman! Why are you encouraging a thug and trying to give him legitimacy? You guys are ridiculous

otokx:


Who is the leader of PDP in Rivers? WIKE

Who is the leader of APC in Rivers? AMAECHI

The political heat is being caused by followers of APC and PDP?

The 2 leaders or and their representatives should be called to an informal round table to talk about reducing the tension.

That is what some school of thought suggest.

yaki84:




did God talk peace with lucipher when he went bragging abt his powers?
so u want wike to go beg amaechi for what na?
amaechi started dis shit, if he is man enuf he shud be d one initiating the peace moves.
do u knw what sacrifices wike did for amaechi before he reclaimed his mandate?
if someone u laboured so much for could turn back n say he did u a favour n anytime he visits a radio station he will say u cant speak english, abeg u for forgive am?
lemme tell u, I heard wike killed his uncle for amaechi to become the govr, wike's uncle was the judge handling the case between amaechi n omehia. and uncle was rooting for omehia, d only way for amaechi to win was to tek down his uncle n he did it. now that same person will be branding u illiterate.
abeg leave trash for lawma.

we also need to discuss the billions looted by wike as local government chairman, his role in the death of tens of rivers people in the 2015 elections and also his role in the deaths and beheadings in this present election.

Gov Wike has the massive Grassroots support base Amaechi didn't care to cultivate. Amaechi doesn't have any political base that can be problem for Wike. Amaechi was commanding House of Assembly members as if they were his servants. Then Amaechi dared to undermine the sacredness of the Judiciary. The traditional rulers were worsted, as he demoted first class rulers & promoted new ones he presumed he could control. How about the civil servants? Amaechi destroyed himself in Rivers State.

BeardedMeat:
Amaechi is not the governor of Rivers State and does not hold any electoral office in Rivers State, Wike is the Governor and CEO of Rvers State. PDP is in power and PDP is on ground! Why would APC who has no grassroot following in Rivers State be factored into ay important decision or policy making of the state? Is the goverment of Rivers a unity Government? Or is APC in Rivers a part of the Security outfits in Rivers?

KoloOyinbo:


A lot of stuff here on personalities. In fact almost all of supposed politics here on Nairaland seems to focus on personalities. Is this because so much politics is tribal based? Just asking!

I have never yet seen any mature debates on the policies of the parties. Do they even have any?

Cronyism and personality cult are no way to run a country.

otokx:


PDP has grassroots yet it lost in Opobo; interesting.

otokx:


You have spoken very well, the parties have not yet identified clear cut policies that can be identified as being synonymous with such party.

In Nigeria, it appears leadership is more of a personality cult.

You have been blowing hot and cold since the begining of this thread. Its hard to say what you yourself can be identified with. The next thing you will say you are on the side of Nigerian masses even though your antecedents show otherwise.

cckris:

[b]You're right.
1. Buhari's politics is TRIBAL, ISLAMIC, & never been national.
2. Or has Buhari accomplished any programme since inauguration?
3. The politics that dislodged Jonathan is TRIBAL.
4. Tribal politics continua. Are you not from a tribe?

coolscott:


[size=13pt]I say there is no need for discussions with Amaechi to ensure peace right now in Rivers State because he holds no office in any tier of govt in Rivers State and if there is a need to discuss with an outside person for peace to exist in Rivers State right now, that outside person must be an outside agitator (just like boko haram and the militants).

Now please, can you help us see the connection between what you have posted here and what I said?[/size]

otokx:


As you usual when valid arguments cannot be raised they attack the personality.

We will continue to expose the truth backed by veifiable fact's.

Its a verifiable fact that the people in Opobo were allowed to vote a candidate of their choice not in PDP contrary to what people say here that the entire Rivers State is PDP.

KoloOyinbo:


My tribe are the Celts. Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Breton etc. We support a party because we belive their policies best. We will not vote for a man we like if we disagree with his policies.

Jonathan was dislodged not because of tribalism dut because despite being (I believe) a good man he could not control the corruption of the rest of a party that had failed miserably to govern properly. Despite many disreputable characters defecting from PDP to APC the electorate fairly gave a mandate to a new government to see if they could do better. We await the results with interest.

Now what are the POLICIES of PDP? Fiscal, political, social, educational, foreign relations etc.

I would ask these also of APC. I only know of anti corruption (doing small but nevertheless better than could be expected in the face of 16 years of looting), recovery of stolen funds (better progress here despite the mamoth task but still a way to go), and a fiscal policy of control of foreign reserves which (like most fiscal policies) has a down side as well as a positive and will take time to work anyway.

The key thing ANY government NEEDS to do in Naija (APC or PDP) is to reduce the disgraceful dependence on oil revenue that was allowed to develop under the last few governments and thus make Naija less vulnerable to the effects of a global fall in oil price. This is hurting Naija more than it should because the economy was allowed to become over dependent on it! Now perhaps BOTH parties would set forth clear policies on diversification of the economy so the electorate could forget this tribal rubbish and vote for the party with the policies they feel are best!

This is NOT about religion or tribe but about policies. As an oyinbo who has been coming to Naija for 16 years and travelling the world for decades longer than that I can tell you the rest of the world could not care less about your tribes and just want you to get on with sorting out your own country!

Uteghe:
Whenever I listen to Wike,one question I keep asking is: did this man ever attend secondary school?

cckris:

1. Amaechi's political BRINKMANSHIP isn't a forte.
2. Amaechi was in Odili's shadows, & presumed he could railroad everyone into his reckless gamble in APC, where Tinubu hold the aces.
3. ONCE Amaechi speaks to Federal officials the way he's used to addressing people, he'll be out in the cold in the forthcoming Cabinet reshuffle.

Don't forget that Wike installed Amaechi in 2007.
Wike then meticulously nurtured the GRASSROOTS DEMOCRATIC INITIATIVE.
You know the rest.
