Amaechi missing at Tinubu’s Rivers rally

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, was on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State in continuation of his campaign ahead of next week’s presidential poll.

At the rally was the National Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, alongside other party heavyweights, such as  Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, former governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, National Vice Chairman of the party, South-South, Chief Victor Giadom, Rivers State governorship candidate of the APC, Tonye Cole, among others.

But a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, who is also the immediate-past Minister of Transportation was conspicuously absent at the rally held at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt.

However, some of Amaechi’s loyalists, including the APC Chairman in the state, Emeka Beke, were in attendance.

Amaechi had been largely silent after losing to Tinubu in the race to become the APC presidential candidate last year.

Speaking during the rally, the APC National Chairman, Adamu, called on Nigerians to reject the opposition Peoples Democratic Party for failing to honour its power rotation agreement.

He said, “The PDP does not know the essence of promise. When you make a promise, you keep it. On our part, we are honourable people. We have a full-fledged southerner as our candidate. What the PDP failed to do, we have done. Punch
