Amaechi Has Joined APC..Rivers Delegation Tells Jonathan

Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyson Wike today moved a large delegation of People's Democratic Party members to meet with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aso Rock Villa. The team which was led by Wike and former governor of Rivers State, Peter Odili spent several hours at the villa meeting with President Jonathan and the Vice President Namadi Sambo. Mr. Wike reportedly got the approval of the President to bring his group to Abuja after they were shunned last weekend at the Port HarCourt International Airport in favor of the state Governor Rotimi Amaechi. The meeting today effectively give official recognition to anti-Amaechi faction of the PDP in Rivers State and political observers also say Mr. Wike, who is angling to become the next governor of Rivers State wanted to use the visit tto Abuja to make a big statement that Mr.. Jonathan is behind his bid. The team apologized to President Jonathan regarding Mr. Amaechi's opposition to his presidency, saying that the governor had already joined the yet to be registered All progressive Congress (APC).
