Can Amaechi right the wrong of abandoned property?

Click banner for more info

One thing that is striking about Governor Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State is that he is a fighter. He is also never afraid to bare his mind on any issue.

As a fighter, when President Olusegun Obasanjo denied him his Peoples Democratic Party governorship ticket with the lame excuse that his candidacy had a “k-leg”, Amaechi did not fold his arms and leave everything to destiny. He went to court and fought the matter until the court declared him the authentic candidate of the PDP and therefore the winner of the 2007 election. When the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan tried to use presidential powers on him, Amaechi refused to be intimidated, even with the President joining in the fray.
