We Are Ready For Handover, Don’t Panic, Amaechi

the Rivers State Governor, Mr Chibuike Amaechi, has expressed the readiness of his Administration to handover on May 29.Amaechi who dismissed rumours he would not be handing over the reign of governance on the date, wondered what he would be doing in office after May 29.The Rivers state Governor averred that the entire cabinet has made ready their notes preparatory to the terminal date of his regime.“We are ready for handover unlike the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the centre that is busy making new appointments and sacking people.They have refused to brief the Muhammadu Buhari Transition Team and All Progressives Congress, APC, is not screaming blue murder.Rather, the APC at the centre is meeting and planning and preparing for government”.Wike and AmaechiPainting an ugly scenario in Rivers State, Gov. Amaechi stated that rather than support democracy, PDP has been busy doctoring electionresults and Voter Register.“Unfortunately in Rivers State, the PDP is busy doctoring election results, doctoring Voter Register as to cover their stolen mandate, and crying wolf to cover their mischief”.Amaechi who spoke through the Rivers State Commissioner of Information and Communications, Ibim Semenitari, added that whoever would take over from him has no reason to panic.In a statement in Port Harcourt on Friday, Semenitari dismissed insinuations the outgoing regime had shown no co-operation with the man the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared winner of the April 11 governorship election in Rivers State.While dismissing reports the outgoing Administration has been un-co-operative with the PDP, Semenitari allayed such fears saying that PDP already has everything going for it.“They stole the outcome of the April 11 election and gave no hoot; they declared their candidates winners with the criminal connivance ofINEC and cared less about local, national and international opinion that what took place in Rivers state on April 11 was everything but an election.The more APC had pushed for electoral materials which are statutorydemands of an electoral litigation, the farther PDP and INEC had keptit, and seemingly, they have had their way.So, they have all going for them. They have nothing to worry about.If and when Mr. Ezebuwon Nyesom Wike, will be sworn in, the issue of handover notes and other statutory briefings should not be any worry to him.Already Wike has as part of his transition team the State Deputy Governor, Engr. Tele Renner Ikuru, who is ViceChairman of the Rivers Stare Executive Council, and who is abreast of all projects and Programmes of the current administration, having chaired many sensitive state government committees as well as state cabinet meetings.” Semenitari said.“After all, PDP has constituted Inauguration and Transition Committees, respectively”.The Information and Communications Commissioner who insisted PDP stole the mandate it is parading, reasoned that with the pair of Ikuru and Wike, PDP should have no difficulty with any briefings that they might need from the current administration.She advised PDP to learn from APC which has not raised any hairs despite what are deliberate steps at the centre to provokethe party.“Governor Amaechi has not made any new appointment as he knows heis leaving office, unlike what PDP is doing at the centre. They are busy sacking and making appointments, functions that should be entirely left for the in-coming Administration.Provocative as it is, APC has rather, concerned itself with continued preparations to give Nigerians good governance.APC has refused to dance to PDP’s evil drumbeats, choosing to show maturity.“Let PDP in Rivers state leave Governor Amaechi alone. He is a busy man and did not contest any elections.Governor Amaechi is known for committing his all into any worthy assignment or duty he is called to do.Having governed Rivers State for close to eight years, Amaechi cannotbe happier that history and posterity will judge him fairly. A fact a million PDPs cannot obliterate”.

But Santos has spoken out at the decision to give the midfielder the Player of the Year honour over Ronaldo, suggesting his captain and talisman was unfairly beaten into second place. He is quoted in Marca as saying: “If you ask me if Modric is a great player, I answer yes, and that’s why I voted for Modric in second place. Now, if you ask me who is the be...
