Port Harcourt, Rivers – The All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership in Rivers State is uncertain about Rotimi Amaechi’s current political affiliation.
Tony Okocha, the state caretaker committee chairman, revealed that Amaechi had distanced himself from the party.
Okocha expressed uncertainty about Amaechi’s party status, citing his disappearance after the presidential primary election and refusal to attend party meetings.
He suggested that Amaechi’s affiliation should be clarified by asking him directly, as he is no longer in communication with the party.
What Rivers APC said about Amaechi
His statement reads in part:
“So whether he is still a party member or not I wouldn’t know because all the meetings we called, I give you an example of a meeting we called for all the former governors and ministers, he (Amaechi) sent a message to the Secretary of the party and warned him never dare send him a message about the party again.
“So when you meet him, ask him where he belongs. For me, I don’t know where he belongs.”
Amaechi, a two-term governor of Rivers state before becoming a minister, contested for the APC presidential ticket ahead of the 2023 election but lost the ticket to President Bola Tinubu.
