The former Chief of Staff to Rivers State Governor, Chief Tony Okocha has alleged that the former Minister of Transport and All Progressives Congress chieftain, Rotimi Amaechi refused to work with the standard flagbearer of the party in the last presidential election, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He made this known in a statement released to the general public yesterday.Recall that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress later won the election by defeating other strong contenders in the race to clinch the apex political seat in the country.
Reacting, Tony Okocha, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State said; “Yes, he is not denying it. Amaechi refused to be pacified, even when Tinubu visited him in his house and said let’s work together. He refused. He attended only two rallies to campaign in the whole of Nigeria. Amaechi deployed Tony Cole, who was the APC governorship candidate in the state at the time to do his bidding.”
He added; “The man Tony Cole, neither here nor there. And I told you that as PCC coordinator, he did nothing. No billboards, no banners, no posters, no jingles. In his campaigns, he never mentioned Tinubu.”
