Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi
RIVERS State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has said he has no intention to leave the Peoples Democratic Party.
Amaechi, who spoke in a statement by his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr. David Iyofor, on Thursday explained that
contrary to the comments by the State Publicity Secretary of the Action
Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Jerry Needam, he was still in the ruling party.
The governor dismissed claims that he
had approached the ACN as outright lies and a figment of the imagination
of the opposition party’s spokesman.
Needam had, in a statement in Port
Harcourt, said the ACN had nominated two members of the party in the
state to discuss on the possibility of accepting Amaechi as a member.
But Amaechi insisted that he was already
fighting his suspension from the PDP in court, adding that he had never
met with anybody to discuss a movement from the ruling party to the ACN
or PDP.
