The alleged move by the Presidency to remove the Rivers State Governor
Rotimi Amaechi took a dramatic turn yesterday as the first lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan, has decided to take the bull by the horn in the matter.
It was gathered that the first lady’s visit to Port Harcourt was a move to ensure that the State House of Assembly members are mobilised to ensure Governor Amaechi’s impeachment from office.
The first lady moved into a newly-built mansion in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital. She is expected to spend 11 days in Port Harcourt. But our sources said that the first lady has vowed not to leave the Garden City until the governor is finally removed from office.
It was gathered that as at yesterday night, Dame Jonathan had met with some of the lawmakers in an alleged move to start the plot to hasten the impeachment process, while the venue of the meeting could not be ascertained as at press time.
The new move became necessary as the Presidency believes that Dame Jonathan, being an indigene of the state and also being well grounded in the politics of the state, has all it takes to effect the governor’s removal.
The political differences between President Jonathan and Governor Amaechi reached its crescendo when the Presidency allegedly started mobilising against Amaechi’s bid for a second term shot at the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) chairmanship position. The NGF’s chairmanship election led to the factional division amongst the governors, creating a faction led by Amaechi and another being led by Governor Jang of Plateau State.
There are allegations that the Presidency created the Jang’s faction to break the stronghold of Amaechi and some anti-Jonathan governors that are bent on seeing that the President does not run for a second term.
Thereafter, the federal government in a surprise move grounded the plane belonging to the state government, while threatening to probe the administration of Governor Amaechi over mismanagement of funds.
The drama continued with the NGF’s crisis, which eventually led to the suspension of Governor Amaechi from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It would be recalled that the name of the governor is already being pencilled down as a possible vice presidential candidate on a ticket that would parade a Northerner as the presidential candidate to challenge President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
This move, the President sees as an affront, as Amaechi being a South-South man, would be denying the region of a second shot at the Presidency.
The first lady’s move, according to sources, therefore became necessary to weed out the “Judas” within the fold of the ruling party.

ReplyDeletePatience you should be very careful the way you handle political cases,and know that you and your husband are not politicians not because God elivated you from teaching carier to these level and you are trying to make your selve a political parrot. You haven't gotten a child of yours and resently God delivered you from the mouth of grave and what you want to show appreciation is to make sure that another man loses his office.madam this is an advice not an insult please just look at your self, if it is by merit you don't even surpose to be the first lady by academical and other wise it is just a God's favour.and now vowed to use your so called power to eliminate somebody from his office, Patience Jonathan please watch it.

ReplyDeletePatience u luk like a liar, at d begining of d crisis u denied d reports linking u to d crisis. Pls u ar nt worthy to mentol our ladies
ReplyDeleteMay be governor Amechi has spoken in English language that confused first lady hence she cannot speak. Where in the constitution of Nigeria is it stipulated that the wife of the president has the power to remove a governor from office? Has Nigeria turned to a family business?
ReplyDeleteI think illiteracy is the problem of Mrs Jonathan, so my dear people it is not her fault she doesn't know left and right.
ReplyDeleteAbeg oh,make una carry gentle dey insult our first lady. She's only trying to support her husband. No be bad thing. You guys know that after the Jonathan tenure, the northers are taking over the mantle again and God knows if you guys who talk any how realise that getting there again will take more than a miracle. If you can't politicise please pray and watch. As for me am Biafran if care to know. At God time we must surely come to pass, amen.
ReplyDeleteIf u want to go Biafran go nobody is stoping u Biafra people. Since when Jonathan is there now can u count people that have lost there life. If Hausa wants to come and so far there will be rest of mind let them come in, they are human being.
ReplyDeleteIs nigeria really practising democracy?I think the problem nigeria is having is failure to accept that Demons and crazy people are ruling the nation..that means Nigeria practised Demon~crazy.for me my kingdom is of christ in heaven.
