- Amaechi hosted the APC leadership in the state house lodge.
The political dream of the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amechi was dashed on Wednesday after Prof. Yemi Osinbajo was chosen as the running mate to the Presidential aspirant, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
Amaechi was given high hopes that he would emerge the running mate. PDP in the state had accused him of spending state money on All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign in order to secure the VP slot.
The meeting that kicked Amaechi out of the race was held in Rivers State Government house Abuja, a source disclosed to NAIJA CENTER NEWS.
On the speculation that Amaechi fainted after loosing to Prof. Osinbayo, the source said “That was a rumour, that was a mere propaganda. The decision to choose the new person was done in Rivers State government lodge in Abuja. It was hosted by the governor, he couldn’t have fainted or collapsed on a meeting he hosted.
The source who agreed that Amaechi was given high hopes that he would be chosen as the running mate to Buhari said ” This is politics, there must be arrangement, it is not a must that such expectation should be met. Politics is give and take, they must have agreed on certain issues before they came to this conclusion. Whatever conclusion they reached, the governor had an input in it”
Contrary to the believe that Amaechi political dream has been shattered, the source said what Amaechi had was not political dream, he assured that the governor would make a statement before the end of today.
The source also said that since Amaechi couldn’t get the VP position, other things would be planned out for him. He said ” Things are being planned out, before the day runs out, whatever that has been planned out will be made known, and whatever it is, he is going to play a key role.
