Why I dumped Jonathan for Buhari in 2015 – Amaechi opens up

Former Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi has revealed why he dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and rejected President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

Speaking during a small rally held to officially receive defectors from the PDP to the APC in Rivers state on Saturday, he disclosed that he made the move because he was not ‘Tribalistic’.

In his words; “Next year, we are starting prayer session. You know, when Goodluck fought us, he was not fighting me, he was fighting God, and I knew he would fail. Tell them, from next year, prayer will start. I will come to Port Harcourt like I used to come, and I will say this will happen, and it will happen.”

“Let me tell you who I am: I do not drink. I have never tasted alcohol in my life. I don’t smoke. I am not tribalistic. Whether in Rivers State or in Nigeria, I am not tribalistic.”

“If I were tribalistic, President Goodluck Jonathan offered me opportunity to remain in PDP. He offered me all sorts of opportunities, but I said that I had given my allegiance to Buhari because I am not tribalistic.”
