Governor Chibuike Amaechi has said he joined the All Progressive Congress, APC because President Goodluck Jonathan failed to address issues raised by the G 7 governors.
Amaechi who spoke Wednesday at the Port Harcourt international airport, Omagwa assured that the APC would protect the interest of all Rivers state people, adding that the state had suffered untold neglect in the government of President Jonathan.
“Rivers State must know that for me to have taken that decision, I had looked at the general interests of Rivers people. I was not elected to lead Nigeria, I was elected to lead Rivers State and I had looked at the interests of Rivers people and have seen that these interests were not protected in PDP. I have seen the fact that we are losing our oil wells in Etche, in the Kalabari areas and that the more they continue to pilfer these oil wells, the more we will continue to lose our wealth”, he said
The governor who denied any face off with President Jonathan said he did not join the APC to spite the President but to further interest of the state. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteSorry for those who think Or who have decided to deceive there self about Ameachi's defection... Ask Your Self just One Question"""""" WHY DIDN'T AMEACHI DO THIS IN HIS FIRST TENURE ?????? ONly a fool will be draged into a war of one man's greed.
ReplyDeleteU're very correct Emex . Or may b there was APC then. APC & PDP d difference na Name. D same people. Emex , can fashola do to Tinubu what Amechi is doing to GEJ ?
DeleteTinubu made Fashola but GEJ did not make Amaechi. So he has the audacity to call his bluff!
DeleteGEJ is a killer Amaechi beware.
ReplyDeleteYou dumped PDP because of your selfish desire to be VP at the expense of your people and your region. Shame on you. You have made the biggest mistake of your life. You caannot lead us to islamise this country. You have made us to lose these oil wells, you have made us to lost out in the national cake. Amaechi, better resign and the leave the state government and join APC as Amaechi and not as the governor of Rivers state. Don't fool us and use our state resources to further your personal cause. We are now wiser.
ReplyDeleteI fully support Gov. Amechi, If the interest of the people of Rivers state can not be guarantied under President GEJ, its highly unfortunate. Why must the wealth of Rivers state people be taken to other states , Just as Emex &co has the right to express their opinion also the Governor has every right to associate with any person or group of persons that can assure him that the interest of the people of Rivers state protected and guarantied .
ReplyDeleteHow can we fight it? U as a person you are corrupt.....its only u have not gain access to any office thats why u are talking like that who is free?
ReplyDeleteHow can we fight it? U as a person you are corrupt.....its only u have not gain access to any office thats why u are talking like that who is free?
ReplyDeleteIt is only sick people that drink APC. Join APC or do whatever, they wish with apc. Normal beings stay in PDP.
ReplyDeleteThis is a free country.Why should we lose our sleep just because one or two politicians cross carpet to another party? or one changed job etc. Rather lets concentrate on how to better the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteis this man saying the truth? I don't think so all of them that deflected to join APC ( party of cabal ) are all fighting for themselves they don't care about interest of the nation. two toll plaza in one local government area in LAGOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmaechi is only deceiving the people of Rivers State because of his selfish ambitioon of becoming the Vice President of Nigeria. Shame on him
ReplyDeleteGov. Ameachi is speaking for himself not people of Rivers. He is a very corrupt person, he has stole so much and he was elected under the platform of PDP. The Rivers Governorship ticket is under the platform of PDP. he can equally resign now that he has deflected with our money ( tax payers money). Ameachi. God almighty will judge all of you one by one especially Niger delta leadership.
ReplyDeleteI hope Amaechi will not come tomorrow and said that he is still a PDP member. We dont believe the media again
ReplyDeleteI thought Gov. Chibuike Amaechi was smarter than this. How on earth can one think of deposing his own brother who is a king to serve an alien king except for his selfish interests? I hope he will be able to checkmate his personality that smacks of huge arrogance and be ready for a 100% continuous "DOBALE"- Paying homage at 'Mecca of Resort" in Bourdillon. That will be the only panacea for success in his new "sect" called APC.
ReplyDeletei think everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion but Gov. Amaechi should not make this mistake of saying his joining APC is for the interest of rivers people he should raither say my interest because politics is a portship of interest it has to do with personal interest not the interest of the people as nobody told him to join politics. let me state it boldly THAT RIVERS PEOPLE ARE WISE, ALL WE NEED IS GOOD LEADERSHIP NOT PARTY ( IF YOU HAVE PROVEN TO REPRESENT US WELL WE WILL FOLLOW BUT IF NOT 2015 WILL DETERMINE OUR STAND)
ReplyDeleteAmaechi, you said the people of Rivers state have suffered untold neglects in the government of GEJ who is a PDP and you were also a PDP member which means you were all in it before. so, what is the assurance that you still will not cover same neglects when you see it coming from your new government of APC? my guy forget these whole thing you guys dey do, you also na THIEF wey don dey deceive him people too under the umbrella of PDP now it is not favoring you again and you changed into APC. i bet you this side will burn you like fire. check all the people around, they are all from afar. when they will heat you nobody will be there to rescue you.... AMAECHI BE WARNED!!!
ReplyDeleteAmechi u can't decieve us, u are doing dis cuz of ur selfish intrest,apc can never win presidencial election, let's tell our self d truth,both Amechi and d G7 inluding apc they are all old wine in a new bottle, Nija shine ur eyes, Apc my foot
ReplyDeletepls stop deceiving yourselves LEADERS OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
ReplyDeletePolitics means man deceiving man. Hope the so called APC will not give you their conditions afterwards and then, you jump out as did ATIKU with ACN then?. APC is full of men of deceit and we will surely laugh at you all at last. PDP or APC , no more trust in all our leaders, they lack idealolgical clarity except when it comes to amassing the country's resources. Asari Dokubo was fighting for his people and ended up owing schools, buildings and a University at Benin Republic. Who is fooling who?
ReplyDeleteAlhaji Amaechi on suit
ReplyDeleteSo it is a sin for Ameachi to support northernern person while it is lawful for Lamido to support GEJ and campaign vehemently against Buhari the way he did 2011. Guys wake up and lets be patriotic then face our common problems eg unemployment, hunger, security etc.
ReplyDeleteare you a fool to think that APC can ever rule rivers state? Talk more of nigeria!
ReplyDeleteYou've already tarnished your name Amaechi and beware EFCC is coming for u immediately u step down
