Posters bearing the pictures of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State were on Sunday spotted in Rumuola, Port Harcourt, indicating that he was contesting for the 2015 presidential election.
While some of Amaechi’s posters had Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) and courtesy of RIVLEAF (0803315504) inscribed on them, others had Peoples Democratic Party and its logo inscribed on them.
However, Amaechi, who spoke on telephone yesterday through the Chief Staff, Government House , Port Harcourt, Chief Tony Okocha, said it was the handwork mischief makers who are scared of competition.
Okocha also stated that Amaechi would not be distracted by the antics of the desperate opposition politicians within and outside the PDP, stressing that the NGF chairman remained focused and committed to his administration’s transformation agenda.
Many residents thought the posters may have come from the camps of the Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, and state Rivers Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Felix Obuah.
State PDP Publicity Secretary Samuel Nwanosike, however, exonerated Wike and Obuah. He said, “Wike and Obuah are not behind pasting of Amaechi’s 2015 presidential campaign posters. Chiefs Wike and Obuah are above such dirty politics.
