Governnor Amaechi Slams Deputy For Defecting To PDP

Good times between Gov Amaechl(right) and Eng Tele

We have seen all kinds of surprises during this year's presidential election with party leaders and officials defecting or cross carpeting  from one party to another fews days to the general elections.Last Sunday’s defection of the Rivers state deputy governor, Engineer Tele Ikuru, from the All Progressives Congress (APC), to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is believed by many political analysts and party supporters to be a move that will create a crack in the heart of the state chapter of the party.

However, the Rivers state governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, in his reaction to his deputy’s defection on Tuesday took to his Twitter handle and berated Ikuru’s action in his tweet.
Amaechi, who is the chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, expressed optimism that Ikuru’s defection is not even enough to cause a storm in a tea cup, adding that the APC’s march to victory cannot be disrupted.

The governor revealed that he is feeling invigorated because change is near.

What defection?Not even enough to cause a storm in a tea cup. The March to victory can’t be derail. Feeling invigorated. Change is near.#APC
