Another crisis is brewing in Rivers State. Early this evening, the convoy of the governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi was prevented from using one of the two entrances to the Government House in Port Harcourt by a team of police. The governor's convoy was stopped by four truck loads of
policemen as it made its way through the private gate of the governor's official residence. The policemen, led by several senior officers, claimed they were acting on orders from above.
After about 45 minutes of arguing, which included Governor Amaechi himself coming down from his car to speak with the policemen, the governor's convoy had not choice but to leave and take another road to access the main entrance into the Government House. See more photos after the cut...

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 290 of 290They should leave this man alone o, they should leave this man alone.He was duely elected and has his mandate, they can win over him only if Jehovah God is not with him, why all these mess to ridicule him, among all the governors we have had in this Rivers State since the inception of this new democratic dispensation, he is just the best, he should allow him to concentrate and work. My prayer goes to God for him, Almighty God will sustain him and give him victory over all his adversaries, This governor is good and his is working if allowed.
This matter is going outta hand. Its pathetic that a governor can be rendered this helpless. Anyway let's await the official reason the NPF(order from above) would give for this insensible act
Hmmmmmmmmm, Hmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.d military should jst do a coup n tke over.ds democracy hv caused us a lot of pains n loss of incredible n alarming lives. Nigerians obey better when handled by iron hands.
This is ridiculous. In a democratic government? God help us
E no go better 4 jona Nd im wife.....
What are actually these desperate means being used by the Federal Government against Gov. Amaechi? The whole thing is really becoming ridiculous. Sometimes i ask what has he really done? If the Prseident doesn't know how to get reelected in 2015, then he really needs not be in that seat in the first place.
Meaning what?buh last last he nterd inside d govermnt house, mtchhhhhhh
Order from my oga @ the top
Hehe first to comment
Tins ar really becoming worse each day,hw can d 1st citizen of a state be denied access to his office 4 45mins all in d name ORDER FROM ABOVE even after he identified himself, dis is an insult to his person. I'd rather stick wit Amaechi dan GEJ cos d latter is filled with So much confusion he has created all by himself.. 2015 is a big NO 4 u, Asari shud bring on d bloodshed.
It is possible Amaechi arranged this whole drama himself just to finger GEJ whom he received earlier in the day at the airport.But I wonder why Amaechi would want to rubbish the office he is aspiring to occupy.
Say am biasied.Yes,I am cos GEJ has been so humane and civil not wanting to abuse his powers as the President crushing all dis dissident.OBJ won't have tolerated 1% of all this shit.Spiritually,they have forgotten there is an aura of Grace about GEJ that makes him get whatevere it is he want without sweating.They should leave the cool guy alone abeg.
it is a shame that the president the whole populace of nigeria voted in to rule us, has turned his power towards political fight. If 2015 election is done free and fair GOOD LUCK JONATHAN will never win, He should better seek for the face of God.
Kai Jonathan u're d worst politician that ever lived. Politics comes w enemies bt who denies an elected officer his constitutional rights? Only a fool n our prez is d biggest of fools. What's next? Evacuating him from his house or assassinating him or his family members? Wicked prez!
Jona is takin the whole tin foolishly high..he is desperately digging his grave.clueless president with stupid advisers...his cup will soon full
This is not funny anymore. It is time we spoke out on this anachy in the guise of democracy. Where in the world does this happen? The last time I checked, Gov. Rotimi Amaechi is still the Gov. of Rivers state! Haba, they should fear God and pretend small na. A governor in his state??? Hiaaaan!!
Dis Man jes lyks unnecessary publicity in order to gain pity frm Nigerians....aint it ur Own state house?? Den y goin thru d back entrance.Shey u kno no say Main entrance dy open b4 u carry ur wahala go bk gate.everyday is one story or d oda bout u..mmmsssteeww rubbish!!!
Unu hapunu my guy aka......d go leave pressin issues d disturb my guy.Abg can d British pls cm bck to Nija....rule us bikonu!! we no mind again!!
what should'nt we aspect frm nigeria politics.
Well no sympathies for Amaechi....He has done more to show that he's Jonathan's principal enemy...We can only suspect that his travails are the masterminds of Jonathan, anyways. We don't have concrete proofs. Amaechi will either win this battle or go with the wind with it..He is a typical case of "A man's enemies will be members of his own household." He has also broken one of the key laws of power, according to Robert Greene, for which he won't go unscathed. He is trying to stage a revolution of sort by working with the president's detractors from the north to overawe and unseat him. Of course, he couldn't have been able to face Obasanjo with his treachery this way. He would have been a goner long ago. It's just because the person he is fighting is Jonathan. The South South has the presidency now; and could retain it till 2019...But for Amaechi, the South South should rather lose the drivers seat to Hausas just because he wants to become vice president...I would rather he died!!!! Anyways he has the sympathy of the Yorubas, who control much of the media, just because be bears some fake Rotimi...Amaechi is a traitor, a Brutus, Jonathan's arch political enemy, nay, a traitor of Niger Delta's. The battle line is drawn...Either he finishes Jonathan off, or he will be finished...The drama is catching my interest like fire.
Na wao, order frm whr na? Dis 2015 ambition of dis vry weak GEJ is causing more problems.
River state has two governors ba?...gov amaechi nd police governor Mbu...hmmmmmmm...wharris happening in naija sef?
What A̶̲̥̅ hell is happening......they should leave that nigga alone.....is really boring seeing all this political conflict ...mscheeew!! Next

He is trying to stage a revolution of sort by working with the president's detractors from the north to overawe and unseat him. Of course, he couldn't have been able to face an Obasanjo with this kind of treachery without becoming a goner at the earliest stages of the conspiracy. His luck is that he's fighting a Jonathan. The South South has the presidency now; and could retain it till 2019...But for Amaechi, the South South should rather lose the drivers seat to the Hausas just because he wants to become vice president...I would rather he died!!!!

LIBers are so gullible n predictable. It hasn't occurred to you all that just maybe Amaechi wanted to create some drama. You can't see that the guy is a schemer?
Keep abusing Jonathan who may not even have any part in this. And if you all had any sense, you'd know its political suicide to keep ministers nominated by unloyal Governors in his cabinet. You're always quick to rain insults but which of you can tolerate Amaechi"s excesses? The guy almost wrecked NDDC. That Goodluck has chosen to be quiet over ds doesn't make him a fool. Ask yourself, of all d unloyal and rebellious Governors why is Amaechi d only one always in the news? DRAMA THINGZ!
"Port Harcourt Girl"
THE GUY IS CONFUSED HE ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE CONTROL BY OUTSIDER FORGETTING, THAT AFTER TOWNSHIP FIGHT, THEY WILL FIGHT VILLAGE OWN, THAT IS WHY B/4 U FIGHT UR BROTHER OR NEIGHBOR OUTSIDE U READY FOR THE INSIDE NAA, WHERE THE MEN WAR DEY, FIGHT TO FINISH, HIM FUCK UP, HE SHOULD WAIT FOR PART (2)
Kai dis man don suffer! Goodluck shld leave dis man alone and let him be! Why bug his life??? Goodluck does nt want peace in dis country cos if he does he'll let dis man be!
SOME PPL JUST DEY WRITE RUBBISH EVEN IF THE WAR IS SEEN, BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAND TO TYPE. BETRAYER IS AN ENEMY
LINDA WHY U DONT POST MY COMMENT WHY
Jonathan should leave ameachi alone, is he not ambitious, if his not ambitious why did he want to go for second term? I don't like his administration we did not enjoy anything from him except fighting and killing, asuu is on strike, we did not enjoy light instead of providing solution to peaples problem his fighting over 2015, because he fail us he want to get power by force u don't know that is nigerians that we decide 2015, U FAIL US MR PRESIDENT.
Jonathan and his wife are just showing how local and bush they are. A whole president doesn't even know how to handle issues like a president. Imagine an Obama, Putin or even Zuma doing this rubbish. This summarises Nigeria, People with absolutely no business in governance are in power. There are better ways a president can deal with a governor other than making public show. If these are the kind of people who are representing us as leaders then we as Nigerians are even worse.. Shame
If you don't know the genesis of something it's best to hold your tongue or in this case keep your hands in your pocket!
idiot! Wat has he done?
Amaechi pls take a chill pill for once abegi haba. How dem take block u. How the road wey dem block resemble ure door mouth. U just wan to always be on d news. No worry soon and very soon Nigerians will get to knw u even more.
Hahahahaha was he giving them shegeeeee? Lmaooo
This is wrong. How can our leaders be acting like thugs. It is a totally unacceptable behavior to have a serving governor stopped from going into his official residence or is he no longer the governor of the state? I don't care about this politicians but the truth must be told. He stood up to GEJ, so? Mehn, this makes me hate this jungle we live in. What does that GEJ mean sef? A stark illiterate disguised as a lecturer. He lacks as any form of class abeg. Please let governor Amechi be. Please other governors should stand up to him to after all he is clueless about governance.
Its such a pity dat we still ve people who wuld applaude Jonathan, how wuld dis nation move forward if we ve a president who can't stand opposition, i keep saying it, Jonathan has more dan enough on his plate rathan dan chase after Ameachi, he is only making sane minded Nigerians ve sympathy for Ameachi. here is Nigeria, a country who is battling wit all sorts of socio economic challenges, the youths re jobless, universities on strike, insecurity has taken d main stage, wit all des and more he still has time to hurt Ameachi, if may ask, is Ameachi d only governor in d oppositions camp?
Why is GEJ feeling insecure and pushed? I can't see what Amaechi has done wrong.
Jonathan should be ashamed of himself.
U no get sense,na by force say im go support jonah, opposition is constitutionally recognised
Police I no respect una b4 ,but diz just goes to confirm dat both police Oga and Nigeria Oga r confused,amechi is elected by his pple just lik d president y will dey undermine his authority shame on police we are watching and counting all wat you are doing.
SHHHHH!!!! SILENCE!!!! AM SURE AMECHI WOULD THANK NPF LATER! I GUESS THERE MUST HAVE BEEN AN INTELIGENCE REPORT THAT AMECHI MAY BE ATTACKED VIA THAT ROUTE AND HE WAS JUST SHIELDED 'COS AN ATTACK ON HIM WOULD EASILY BE BLAMED ON OLD PDP.................. ENEMYS OF OLD PDP COULD EASILY SCORE CHEAP POINTS BY ATTCKING HIM AN THATS WHY THEY (OLD PDP) ARE GUARDING HIM. SADLY; HE IS SO BLIND TO SEE!KUDOS TO GED!
It is dia own cup of tea. It is gud 4 amaechi shaa.
Our leader are so selfish.....what's all this nonsense.may our leader in nigerian now shall disroy by d grace of Allah cuz they don't care about peoples in d country anymore!!!God will catch U̶̲̥̅̊ all!
Well, what is wrong with the governor being displaced? He is about to displace...no DISINHERIT 50% of communities in Etche Local Government area near port Harcourt of their land. He claims he is doing an agro project, which is a good thing but why not do it in a way that the natives and generations after them become displaced? The villages he is displacing also are already short on land and have been the venues of land related violence the past decade. May God reward him in abundance with your gift to others. turn by turn. God is not wicked. No compensation. Only 30k per plot for land that is going for 200k on the market and then threatening to shoot on sight any villagers that encroach on the land for food. After, we will be talking about kidnappers and robbers being a menace. Just because a people are helpless and don't have respectable sons and daughters to protect them does not mean they should be beaten into the floor and stripped of their dignity and identity. God, Jehova Nissi, Jehova the provider who never sleeps, the one who gives shelter to the homeless and food to the hungry, the one who makes milk come from the breast to feed the children who have no teeth to chew, will come down in your life and deal you the same hand you have dealt Etche people. If you have been fair, may he be fair to you.
Our President doesn't have the right to restrict the Governor from going to the Govt House or wherever irrespective of their beef. I'm sure he will still deny the fact that he had nothing to do with it. Goodluck Jonathan has gone too far and needs to be out by 2015. He's a public ridicule. He has ASUU, Boko Haram and other important issues to deal with. Pathetic
LETS NOT BE NARROW MINDED!!!!! GOV AMAECHI IS COOKING THIS UP! IS HE A MOSQUITO? YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT HIS SSS DIDNT KNOW BEFORE HAND THAT THE ROUTE WAS BLOCKED? HE JUST WENT THERE TO CREATE A SCENE. I know his type. POOR GEJ BEING BLAMED FOR TOM SAWYERS PRANKS!!!!! HISSSSSS
Abeg make u guys free amaechi,na corect guy as in over.push who to d wall,dat 1 small.hin supose push am over d fence...wall stil dey ok,wat govt(pdp)
Ode...which kind of 'bro' embarrases one like this. D enemy u know is better!
D way some pple. Comment can b so annoying if u really want to see things clearly u have to on neutral grounds but if u are sentimental u will neva get things straight. To start with all d politicians are betrayals even GEJ is d biggest betrayer cos they don't care about d interest of d masses dat gave out their time n energy to vote for dem all they care about is their selfish interest. Each time ppl say Ameachi is a traitor cos he is taking side wit northerners but those northerners dat are wit GEJ are called true nigerians right why can't we stay n use our head for once this is a country dat runs democracy and an elected Gov. Is denied d access to his office of authority in his state isn't it dat amazing well dat is d effect of God father and unfaithful election. So just have this in mind dat when two elephants are fighting is d grasses dat suffers so beware cos if they are through wit themselves their next target will b to crush d masses which I guess both u n I are involved and by dat time there will b no issue of wat part of d country u are coming from d wipe will land on us both. Pls Linda post my comment. Thanks
Nobody should blame GEJ . Amaechi is a betrayer ,bcos he want to be VP 2015.
President Jonathan is a robbot... Dia is serious war in dis country...
U think so. GJ administration is the best my dear. You just need to study Nigeria politics. Nobody dares a King, President or a lion.
@Bonario: exactly my take. But opposition should not take the gentility of a lion as being cowardice.
What are you speaking?
Mumu like U. U ar supporting dat imbecile president of urs.
Remember saul against david in d bible. Remeber d wicked Queen Jezebel. Abacha nd His wife. God is watching. Jonathan change ur ways nd leave Ameachi alone. God annointed Saul to b King nd dat same God annointed David. Saul tried to kill David but David never laid hand on Saul. God is d ultimate judge.
