Defected Governors Won't go back to PDP, says Amaechi

Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi

Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi has on Thursday insisted that the defected 5 PDP Governors would remain in All Progressive Congress and not go back to the Peoples Democratic Party.

Amaechi made the statement in Port Harcourt when the Knights and Ladies of St. John International, Port Harcourt Grand Commandery paid him a solidarity visit in Government House.

He said that the reason for defection is much more than the grouse with former chairman of PDP, Bamanga Tukor but as a result of President Goodluck Jonathan's lack of accountability.

He maintained that Jonathan has refused to address the issues of constitutionalism and accountability.

Amaechi said, "There are issues of accountability, we raised them before Mr. President and those issues have not been addressed and we think that the only way to address them is through you Nigerians. The President is not our problem; we are our own problem.”

The governor urged Nigerians to cast their vote for APC, adding that the Party will restore sanity to the polity.
