Amaechi Is Free To Join APC -Presidency
The Presidency has given Governor Amaechi the green light to join the All Progressives Congress. The approval was communicated by the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak.
“Governor Amaechi is at liberty to join APC. This is belittling the issue. We are not small boys; we are in a serious business of politics.
“You cannot as a governor on the platform of PDP invite APC leaders to your state and make a show of it and now say that you will consult the President who is the leader of the PDP before you join APC.
Amaechi had on Tuesday said he would consult with President Jonathan among other stakeholders before joining the APC. “Before I join the APC, I will consult the President. I will. He is from our zone. I will consult all the consultables.”
Gulak accused Amaechi of engaging in anti-party activities and said the Rivers governor should not bother wasting the time of the President.
Gulak said, “Governor Amaechi did not consult the President before inviting APC leaders to Rivers State and giving them tumultuous welcome, so he does not need to consult the President before joining APC because he knows that the President will not allow any PDP member to go to APC.
