Tonye Princewill Blast Rotimi Amaechi

A former gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State and personal friend to Rivers State Governor ,Tonye Princewill has this to say about his friend .

"...As his friend, I rated his first tenure a 6/10 so I don't need to tell you that his second tenure has left many of us less than ecstatic. Until recently, I hoped he would have a strong finish and surpass the low expectations many had set for him. Right now I think the chances of that are somewhere between slim and none. He has been a PDP man through and through, he knows how politics in Nigeria is played and he has played it several times on people. I cannot see how he did not know that his actions would have consequences. To be honest the consequences have been milder than possible. OBJ would have been worse. Tinubu would have been worse. Buhari would have been worse but guess what. Amaechi too would have been worse if he was the President and had to contend with a Governor Amaechi. Politicians who know them can confirm this. Therefore PDP today is not the problem. Politics in its entirety is the problem. When someone like me who has played at the top levels in both of the two major parties speak, have some trust in what I say. GEJ is a better partner in a better party if his team allows him to play. Atiku once said to me that GEJ is the only President that has not tried to destroy his business. Please think about that. About a year ago I had the opportunity to sit down with our President to plead with him over Amaechi and Rivers state. It was an extensive meeting and at the end of it I left with an olive branch extended to Rivers people. That olive branch was rejected on behalf of Rivers people. That was the day I knew that Rivers state was not the agenda. I am supporting GEJ because he is a good man who needs help in a bad party surrounded by other bad parties. The party in power takes responsibility for the country but the party outside power can not escape my scrutiny. APC will not save Nigeria. It will be worse."
