Amaechi Shuns Tinubu’s Campaign Rally In Rivers State

A former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi was conspicuously missing on Wednesday, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shetima, visited Port Harcourt in continuation of their campaign rally.

Naija News learnt that the former governor of Lagos state and APC chieftains arrived at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium for the party’s presidential rally around 4pm.

Tinubu danced and waved to the cheering crowd before proceeding to the podium.

However, Amaechi was not seen at the event and this has raised concern, especially as he is the leader of APC in River State.

Since losing out on the party’s presidential ticket, Amaechi has been relatively silent on the political scene even in his home state.

There were speculations that the former Governor is not working for Tinubu in his bid to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari due to the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Nobody Can Convince Me It’s Not A Plot Against Tinubu

In other news, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,  Femi Gbajabiamila, has said the current fuel and naira scarcity is a plot against the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

According to him, some elements have deliberately created a crisis around the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) cashless policy just to stop Tinubu from winning the presidential election.

Naija News reports that the Speaker made the assertion on Tuesday in Lagos during the launching of the second phase of a transport initiative called “Gbaja ride”.

He explained that no one can convince him that the new naira crisis is not a plot to fight Tinubu’s presidential bid.

He was, however, glad that the elements behind the alleged plot have been put to shame because God has intervened in the matter.
