ameachi has already made wike worst fear FLAG AMRACHEE the chairman of apc rivers state chapter.
you need to see they way wike was whining and crying to the media that apc has used a murderer as chairman.
tonye cole is from riverine part of rivers state .since 1999 no governor has come from riverine area despite their massive support for the ruling party. now it is going to be a different ball game cos ikwerre votes will be divided between ameachi forces vs wike forces while riverine areas vote massively for their own .
wike should start drafting his handover notes already

Ikwere for another 4 years? naaa! conditions that made Wike get away with 2015 theft are no longer alive, so he should start preparing his handover notes. All politics is local and the local reality is that GEJ's influence that made Wike stole another 4 years ( making 12 years for ikwere)his way through with tears and blood of innocent folks 3 years ago won't save him in 2019. Federal might, better electoral process, Riverine hunger for his seat, money for money, propaganda for propaganda, Amaechi's achievements and etc are all waiting for Wike in 2019.

Abe should make his romance with PDP open now that he has lost everything.... Don’t push away the ladder that helped you to top, you might need it later.... Amaechi is the the Leader of the party in Rivers State.

You have written like a saboteur. Pretense is a hallmark of insincerity. The moment you hung Riverine in the above silly write-up, I knew you are a game.

if you don't know the meanings of certain words why try impressing by flaunting them ignorantly? Saboteur? Why not look up the meaning in the dictionary . Tell what are the indicators on which the 2019 political expectations in Rivers can be measured if they are different from the realities I had mentioned above instead of being fuzzy.

You guys are just hallucinating. The so called riverine in rivers state cant even pull up to 25% vote. Go and check the voting strenght in Rivers state. ikwerre has almost 50%, then ogoni then orashi, then kalabari, etche,okrika. When you guys just scream upland/riverine dichotomy, i just laugh. Upland can decide to vote upland and will continue to win election for eternity. Think of political alliance and not just unscrupulous propaganda. Wike is a terrible and maverick politician. Amaechi knows this.
There is going to be a lot of anti party activity in Apc cos so many of us feel that we have been in the field working and Amaechi brought an outsider to impose on us cos of personal interest, hoping police and army will help Cole. let us see how it goes.

Forget thuggish

Wike is an Ikwere man

Ikwere has the upper hand in rivers politics due to numbers

I don’t see how Tonye Cole and Flag Amachree Ojukaye can defeat Wike

Wrong permutations. Daukoru was more popular as ex commissioner and house of rep. Member yet he lost woefully. Now Amaechi is presenting an unknown dele Cole. At best he will get a few votes in the Kalabari area certainly not in okirika or opobo areas. The upland including Ogoni will vote massively for Wike, especially now Abe is not in the race.
Amaechi is relying on SARS, but I am sure Wike will find a way to checkmate him.

Unfortunately in Nigeria politics tribe plays a lot of role in determining the baseline

The highlighted I agree with 10000% ... Numbers over EVERYTHING..

However, is it that Ikwerre have no plans of ceding to any other part of rivers? For balance sake... Just asking .
Re: Senator Magnus Abe Loses To Rotimi Amaechi As APC Ratifies Tonye Cole As Rivers by Nobody: 4:08pm On Oct 05, 2018
Hard reality is that Ikwerre has the upper hand when it comes to votes and population. there are some ethnic groups that naturally follow ikwerre votes and that is etche and orashi region (ogba,egbema,ndoni,ekpeye). The ogonis have long in the days of obi wali and saro wiwa formed and unwritten alliance that is longstanding. Amaechi killed APC in 2015 by fielding Dakuku from Opobo (a core minority riverine) and his deputy from Abua (another minority)
Tonye Cole will struggle to garner vote in kalabari region, reasons......Buguma-Abonnema battle for supremacy. long standing political tussle of relevance (go and check). they never vote for each other. They never support each other. In APC, party chairman from kalabari, governorship aspirant from kalabari. wrong political calculation. Amaechi keeps projecting wrongly. He solely believes in federal might of police, SARS and military. But on that day,all states have election. The plan of APC writing election and calling results is already known by wike and co.

The best bet still would have been magnus Abe. Lots of Ikwerre people believe that Ogoni should be the next governor after them.

this is my simple analysis.

Tonye Cole is a visionary. Rivers State is in dire need of such quality. Having a thug as a Governor hasn’t done them any good.

I agree. Magnus Abe is an unstable fellow; he can't handle the position of a governor.
All in all, If Tonye Cole - and rivers APC - is capable of spreading enough propaganda or real substance, whichever, coupled with help from FG, he might just win. After all, that's how Wike won.
