The embattled Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi might have found a
new home with the members of the leading opposition party in Nigeria,
the Action Congress of Nigeria, since his party, the Peoples’ democratic
Party, PDP has tagged him a ‘bad boy’. It was earlier reported that the
Rivers State governor paid a visit to the National leader of Action
Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju bola Ahmed Tinubu to commiserate with death
of Tinubu’s mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji.
Amaechi along with Tinubu and other prominent Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN)stalwarts attended the palour party organised to mark the
Golden Jubilee birthday celebration of Lagos State Governor, Babatunde
Raji Fashola at the government house in Lagos
The roles of the opposition governors, especially the southwest’s in
Amaechi’s emergence as the Chairman, Nigeria Governor Forum, where he
polled 19 votes as against 16 votes of the PDP anointed candidate,
Gov.Jona Jang of Plateau State, may not be unconnected with Amaechi’s
current romance with the opposition camp.
The PDP, especially those in the camp of President Goodluck Jonathan
has being at logger-head with the governor. The rift which has led to
the abrupt suspension of the governor from the ruling Peoples’
Democratic Party few weeks ago.
Prominent Nigerians at Fashola’s Golden Jubilee Palour party
includes, the National Leader of Action Congress of Nigeria and one of
the major players in the newly merged All Progressives Congress, APC,
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the birthday governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola
and his amiable wife, Emmanuela Abimbola Fahola, His Royal Highness,
Oba Rilwan Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos, Chief Henry Ajomale; the Chairman
of ACN , Lagos State, Rivers State Governor Rt. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi,
