There was a mild drama on
Thursday as the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, was escorted to the
commissioning of some projects in Rivers State by Minister for Transport,
Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Magnus Abe.
It started when Amaechi stepped
out of the Presidential Jet, with shouts of “the Lion” by APC faithful who
besieged the airport, then next was Senator Magnus Ngei Abe.
Both Rivers APC leaders then
walked down to where the chopper was waiting for Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.
As the Acting President alighted
from the Presidential Jet, he was received on hand by Gov. Nyesom Wike of
Rivers State and a handful of traditional rulers and others who queued for a
formal handshake with the visitor.
The climax was when Wike pointed
at the already waiting BMW to chauffeur drive Osinbajo who insisted rather that
they walked to the already waiting Chopper where Amaechi, Abe and others were
already seated.
Wike worries were visible as he
tried hard to convince the Acting President to go with him and commission just
one project, but Osinbajo insisted that they head to the Chopper for the venue
of the commissioning of the World standard Fertilizer project built by the
INDORAMA Group.
Disappointed, the governor had to
leave his aides, supporters and convoy behind and joined Osinbajo to the
Chopper where APC faithful were already singing the praise of Amaechi.
As soon as the Acting President
climbed into the Chopper and Wike made his way to join him, the youths began to
boo him with shouts of, “Come down!, Come down!” while some others continued
with shouts of “the Lion!” until the Chopper left.

ReplyDeleteWould have loved to see the looks on Wike and Amaechi's faces and the atmosphere in that chopper. Thankfully they all landed safely.
ReplyDeleteCelebration of criminals is what kept Nigeria where it is now and would continue to hold it there until the people have a rethink
