Governor of Rivers State and chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) would teach the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) a hard political lesson next year. He spoke at a media interaction in portharcourt.
He said: “Most of you may have known that I have since left the PDP to a better party called the All Progressives Congress because the fact remains that PDP is a drowning party. Last weekend, PDP members of the House of Assembly in Kaduna State and party officers left PDP to APC. How can party officers and members of the House of Assembly be leaving for another party if they are comfortable?
“In Zamfara State, members of the House of Assembly, who are of the PDP, have moved to the APC. Unless they (PDP) rig election or sit down and announce result, it will be a difficult call for the PDP to win this country. But that is not the reason why I left and that is not the reason why the five of us left. I can assure you that more governors will leave. They are quite uncomfortable; they need to take some shots to come out and by God’s grace, they will come.
“For me, bad governance was one of the reasons why I left the PDP. I have been shouting and the PDP does not care. But this is the first time they will care. You cannot say it’s opposition because we are gradually forming government. We have taken over House of Representatives and before March, I bet you, we will take over the Senate. Just watch out. The pressure will mount so much that you will see people move from the PDP into APC.
“For now, it is narrowing down closely on a daily basis. Watch out before March if we don’t have the numbers that we are looking for. So, you can’t call us opposition anymore because there are three arms of government and only two are electable; the executive and legislature.
Gengengengen.
