A leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state, Tony Okocha, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no justification for giving the state’s ministerial slot to either Rotimi Amaechi or Senator Magnus Abe.
Okocha alleged that Amaechi and Abe undermined Tinubu’s chances in the state and advised the president to consider giving the immediate past governor, Nyesom Wike, the ministerial slot for Rivers.
The APC chieftain disclosed that Wike supported Tinubu’s presidential ambition both financially and materially.
Okocha, who spoke with journalists in Abuja, alleged that it was an open secret that Amaechi worked for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, while Abe, who obtained the governorship ticket of the Social Democratic Party, supported the SDP flag bearer.
Okocha, who was the chief of staff to Amaechi when he was the Rivers state governor, said: ‘’The point I’m making is neither Amaechi and his group nor Magnum Abe and his group worked for Tinubu. What helped us in Rivers state is the stupidity of the PDP, we all know. At the centre of that is the spin doctor, Nyesom Wike, governor of my state”.
