Amaechi rebuked APC leaders

Okocha shared an incident where Amaechi rebuked the party’s state secretary for inviting him to a stakeholders’ meeting and instructed that no further invitations be sent to him.

Okocha expressed uncertainty about Amaechi’s party status, citing his disappearance after the presidential primary election and his refusal to attend party meetings.

Okocha suggested that Amaechi’s affiliation should be clarified by asking him directly, as he is no longer in communication with the party.

What Rivers APC said about Amaechi

His statement reads in part:

“So whether he is still a party member or not I wouldn’t know because all the meetings we called, I give you an example of a meeting we called for all the former governors and ministers, he (Amaechi) sent a message to the Secretary of the party and warned him never dare send him a message about the party again.

“So when you meet him, ask him where he belongs. For me, I don’t know where he belongs.”

Amaechi, who was a two-term governor of Rivers state before becoming a minister, contested for the APC presidential ticket ahead of the 2023 election but lost the ticket to President Bola Tinubu.
