It is clear that the BIG enemy that PDP wants to bring down at all cost is Governor Rotimi Amaechi.But one man that observed is now part of the anti-Amaechi group of
“hungry” politicians is Peter Odili, who lost his bid to become
Nigeria’s President and also lost out in the battle of who to be made
Vice President to late President Umaru Yar’Adua.
Odili is back!
This time he is joining President Goodluck Jonathan to fight Amaech. But
since he had once claimed to have reconciled with Amaechi many would
have thought that he would at least remain neutral in the unfolding
political battle between Rivers State and Abuja politicians.
Funny
enough, Odili sat next to a man that was a local dude while he was
governor Rivers State, when they visited President Jonathan in Aso Rock
on Thursday, all in a bid to appear “loyal”. What a shame!
Speaking
during the visit, Jonathan said the “new PDP” would not condone
indiscipline. And it seems he was talking about Speaking Aminu Tambuwal
and Governor Amaechi.
In his words: “In a situation where somebody
is in a particular political party but his faith is in another
political party – for those who are not holding political offices, yes
you can excuse – but if you are holding an elective office, you won’t be
in that party and be working for another party. Otherwise, why are you
there?”
Odili also supported Jonathan by saying that some people
[referring to Amaechi?] do not want to submit to the party’s authority
and insisted that their must be “discipline”.
Anyway, Governor
Amaechi, who is no longer contesting election in Rivers State as he is
in his second term, has responded to the men. He simply said if he left
PDP, the party would suffer defeat in next election.
