President Goodluck
Jonathan's quest to
remain in office beyond
2015 is set to wear an
ethnic coloration and it
seems his main headache
is Governor Rotimi
Amaechi who is part of
the G-7 governors who
have already started
meeting with the APC
leadership on how to join
the leading opposition
party.
Obascotec gathered
that President Jonathan is
now preaching peace with
Amaechi from all angles
and he also assured
Amaechi that he will no
longer allow anyone to
undermine his authority
as a governor.
Below is what a source
close to Amaechi said
about the secret meeting:
“The discussion
started right from the
Port Harcourt Airport
when the trio
boarded the chopper
and continued at
Okrika, but was brief.
You know that it was
a secret meeting and
no person was
allowed to join the
three of them. But
the discussion, as I
later learnt, was on
how to bring
reconciliation to the
PDP.
“We understand that
both the president
and Dickson
persuaded Amaechi
not to succumb to
the pressure from the
leaders of the All
Progressives
Congress (APC) to
dump the PDP and
join the opposition.”
The PDP will become an
opposition party if
Amaechi and the G-7
governors should join the
APC as they will be
having about 20
governors, while the PDP
will be left with just about
15 governors.
