The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has revealed why he turned down former President Goodluck Jonathans offers to remain in Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
Amaechi, who stated this in Port Harcourt while receiving some politicians who defected from the PDP to the APC in the State, said that Jonathan made him several offers to remain in the PDP but that he turned them down because he was not tribalistic.
Amaechi, who was the governor of Rivers State at the time, said he opted to work for Muhammadu Buhari, the then presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), who eventually won the 2015 presidential election.
Among those that defected were a former Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Dr. John Bazia; Chief Alabo Michael West, Chima Obinna and Chief Salvation Ezengwogwo.
Amaechi, who said he would resume prayer sessions on his concerns from 2021, noted that Jonathan fought him because he dumped the PDP for the APC.
