Amaechi in Tinubu's Camp - Are we looking at a new APC Joinee?

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 Ikeja, Lagos State.

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.
