No sooner than President Muhammadu Buhari returned from a prolonged medical vacation in the United Kingdom (UK) and started making physical appearances at state functions than my heart momentarily leapt for joy. #TimetogiveuponBuhari
#TimetogiveuponBuhari These handlers insisted that their boss was as fit as a rake. All we heard, as soon as Buhari returned was 'did we not tell you'. In fact, when President Buhari returned, what we saw on the outside was a reasonable variety of a brand new President
#TimetogiveuponBuhari
The guess then was that there could still be optimism for Nigeria’s recovery. It did not matter that Mr. President had reportedly been on hospital bed for the better part of 2017
#TimetogiveuponBuhari Of course, Buhari’s handlers helped to further confuse me, that the media, civil society and opposition political parties were wrong in speculating that the President's health was deteriorating so badly
According to President Buhari: “I thought I was 74, but I was told I was 75. I have never been so sick...even the 30 months civil war (when) I was stumbling under farm of yams or cassava #TimetogiveuponBuhari
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
Amaechi however, dislikes what he described as the “maladministration, incompetence and lack of vision” with which Wike is piloting the affairs of the state.
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
The Minister of Transport and former Governor of Rivers state, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has said that he has no problems with the current Governor of the state, Nyesom Wike
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
Governor Wike-led administration after Wike allegedly said he would “not touch Amaechi’s monorail and that the entire state has told him not to continue with the project,”
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
completed several former governor Omehia & Odili projects when I was governor. PMB did not abandon projects, just because they were started by GEJ, e.g Abuja - Kaduna rail line.”
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
Amaechi who took to his twitter handle to have a one-on-one interaction with Nigerians and especially those from Rivers state during the yuletide also wished them and all Nigerians a happy celebration.
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
Amaechi answered questions on if he plans to defect from APC to PDP, among others, also put to proper perspective, some Nigerians who hitherto had wrong notion about some issues involving his present ministry
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
Amaechi cried on how they abandoned that beautiful concept, that new city. Hear the staff there have not seen salaries for about seven months. SMH There is God!”
#AmaechiOnWikeMaladministration
A twitter user, Sopirinye Jaja with handle @Sopirinye, asked thus: “Any plans for Federal government to consider taking over Rivers state mono rail. Rivers govt already invested billions in mono rail.”
Love him or hate him, the memories of Ojukwu and his courageous deeds will remain a reference point in Africa and beyond. Fighting to liberate your people is always a worthy cause. He is right in death - Nigeria has failed us.
