Jonathan Orders Soldiers To Ambush & Chase Governor Amaechi’s Convoy From Ekiti State
June 20, 2014 – Governor Amaechi: Nigerian Soldiers Lay Ambush For My Convoy & Chase Me Into A Village
President Jonathan Orders Soldiers To Ambush & Chase Governor Amaechi’s Convoy Away From Ekiti State…
Rivers State Governor Stopped From Campaigning For Kayode Fayemi
Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi went through hell yesterday in the hand of some selected soldiers allegedly sent from Abuja to prevent him from entering Ekiti State.
Amaechi was on his way to Ado Ekiti to attend the final rally of APC Governorship Kayode Fayemi ahead of the gubernatorial election on Saturday.
Also, the helicopter chartered to fly Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole to Ado Ekiti was yesterday grounded by the military.
This is coming barely 24 hours after a plot to impeach Governor Amaechi by six lawmakers in Rivers State House of Assembly was exposed.
Amaechi’s aircraft landed at the Akure Airport, from where he joined his convoy for the road journey to Ado-Ekiti. He was stopped by soldiers on Akure/Ekiti Road, who prevented him from entering Ekiti State.
It was gathered that Amaechi had turned back, to return to Akure, when the soldiers chased after his convoy and intercepted it. The governor later drove himself to Lagos when it was obvious the soldiers would not let him proceed on his journey to Ado-Ekiti.
He first raised the alarm on Thursday when he took to Twitter to say: “Waylaid by soldiers on Akure/Ekiti Road. Threatening to shoot me. Chased me to a village called Olorunsogo Ilado in Ondo State. They have allowed the Minister of State for Defence and Minister of Police to go through.”
Na wao….when will Jonathan stop these unnecessary political attacks?
He is busy campaigning for re-election and fighting APC leaders while the over 276 abducted Chibok girls are suffering in Boko Haram camps. What a misplaced priority!

This is what you get when you elect a common zoologist as your president.

Mr. President knows that the masses will still support him and call Gov. Amechi names. President Jonathan is openly violating the constitution he swore to respect. I can’t remember a place in Nigeria constitution that prohibits a serving Governors from attending a political rally of his party members, and some Nigerians are making a nasty comment by asking why can’t he stay in his state as if he was the only Governor invited. Mr. President is becoming a dictator, may God help my Beloved country.

If only the World could consider corruption as Crimes against humanity. if only the UN could equate corruption to Genocide. Then Good luck Jonathan, Paul Biya of Cameroon, Musoveni of Uganda and many other cruel dictators in Africa, will be guest at ICC.
Brazilians are on the street on a daily basis protesting against US$ 11 billion World Cup expenditure. But here you Go with Over US$ 20 billion Disappearing in Nigeria and is nobody’s concern.
Here you go with a President who buys 81 luxurious cars of atleast US$50,000/each and 5000 Custom made Iphone US$3000/each for her daughter’s wedding meanwhile more than 20 people are trampled upon in a recruitment stampede in Nigeria and no one raises a voice. In December, the World Bank reported that more than US$100 Billion is lost to corruption in Nigeria every
year. This amount is more than all official development assistance given to SS. Africa yearly. yet, no one see anything wrong in Nigeria. Economic crimes in Africa should be classified as Armed robbery or terrorism. Unless the International community steps in to internationalize this crime, then Africa will be the worse place on earth by 2030.
Only in Africa and particularly in Nigeria is Kidnapping, ritualism, armed robbery, cultism recognized as a national political weapon to fight your opponents at elections.
God safe Nigeria for me.

This President has all these energy to go after his political adversary but he is withdrawn to rescue nearly 300 girls suffering in the den of Boko Haramist, This clearly shown how heartless and unconcerned your president is when to go by his National assignment. Any idiot can be a Doctor. The type of Education received by this inept leader does not portray the way he’s handling the status quo.

Each time, I go through OBJ’s letter, it reminded me of the said political danger list. Thank God Baba said this, otherwise Amaechi, Tinubu, Adam Oshiomole and many more would have been killed.
We are short of military men to tackle Boko haram but we have 100s of them to stop governors from moving to their party rallies.
Does it means governors are not permitted to move freely again? Are they under house of arrest? It is glaring that Amaechi is a good threat to GEJ. I think it will be better if APC can front Amaechi as their Presidential candidate, I guess GEJ will run to where he belong. I see governors travelling from one state to another in US here, and Obama care not about it.
Opposition party can even organize a rally or talk against the government here but in Nigeria, people are treated like foreigner or animal. Nigerians pls be wise!!! This is another militocracy.
If Obama tried to pull this stunt on any American Governor, he would find himself in the prison as fast as possible.
Anyway, PDP is helping Fayemi to get more sympathy votes.
