Amaechi Explains Departure from PDP and APC in Interview
Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers State, revealed his reasons for leaving both the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in an interview conducted on Friday. He indicated that Patience Jonathan, the wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, played a significant role in the PDP's control over party structures in Rivers State.
Amaechi's political journey has been influenced by the dynamics within these parties, particularly as he prepares to lead the presidential aspirations of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He also mentioned that similar situations occurred within the APC, where he contested against President Bola Tinubu during the party's presidential primaries.
Amaechi's statements reflect the complexities of political affiliations and the impact of influential figures in Nigerian politics.
