Amaechi To Jonathan: Stop Pitching Christians Against Muslims

Amaechi-GEJ
Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State on Thursday maintained that he, along with other G5 governors, who defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, will not return to the Peoples Democratic Party.
Amaechi explained that their defection to the APC was not basically because of the former PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, who recently threw in the towel, but as a result of President Goodluck Jonathan’s refusal to address issues of constitutionalism and accountability.
He stressed that the only way to address such issues was through Nigerians and not President Jonathan.
Amaechi, who is the chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum spoke on Thursday when Knights and Ladies of St. John International, Port Harcourt Grand Commandery paid him a solidarity visit in Government House.
He said, “The reason we broke away from PDP and joined the APC is not basically because of Bamanga Tukur. Bamanga Tukur is not the big issue.  There were issues we raised before the President and he has not addressed them.
