Amaechi Knows That Jonathan Won't Allow Him To Join APC –Presidency

Following Governor Rotimi Amaechi's open declaration in Port Harcourt that he would consult with some top men, including President Goodluck Jonathan before joining the APC with others, the Presidency, said to be very angry at the meeting in the first place, has replied Governor Amaechi.

“Governor Amaechi did not consult the President before inviting APC leaders to Rivers State and giving them tumultuous welcome, so he does not need to consult the President before joining APC because he knows that the President will not allow any PDP member to go to APC. 

“Governor Amaechi is at liberty to join APC. This is belittling the issue. We are not small boys; we are in a serious business of politics."

Said Jonathan's political adviser, Ahmed Gulak, who couldn't hide the president's anger.
He stated this in an interview with Punch on Wednesday in Abuja. Gulak said the governor was trivialising the issue at stake as he deliberately engaged in what he called an anti-party activity.

The President’s aide said, "You cannot as a governor on the platform of PDP invite APC leaders to your state and make a show of it and now say that you will consult the President who is the leader of the PDP before you join APC."

A source told us that Jonathan actually met with four governors in Aso Rock on Wednesday over the issue and is very worried that he may loose Amaechi and other G-7 governors to APC.
