| Gov. Amaechi |
The Presidency on
Friday said Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, was free to resign from the
Peoples Democratic Party, if he was no longer ready to respect President
Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the party.
PDP leaders in Rivers
State led by Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, and a former
governor of the state, Dr. Peter Odili, had met with President Goodluck
Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, where they tabled the governor’s alleged
offences.
At the meeting,
Jonathan said disregard for party rules by public officers elected on the
party’s platform should not be tolerated.
The governor is
currently under suspension for alleged disobedience of the Rivers State PDP’s
directive to reinstate the chairman and executive of Obio/Akpor Local
Government. He was also suspended for running for a second term as chairman of
the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, against the party’s directive.
Amaechi had last
Saturday in Port Harcourt said the party could not order him to reinstate the
suspended local government executives.
