A former Minister of Transportation and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Rotimi Amaechi has denied claims that he will soon announce his support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 elections.
He was reacting to a claim by a former Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Vice President Namadi Sambo, Umar Sani, on Twitter programme HardTalk where he said the former Rivers State Governor had said as a devout Catholic, he cannot support a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the APC.
“I’m glad to tell you that in Rivers state, PDP has gotten Amaechi because he (Amaechi) said he is a Catholic and will not support Muslim-Muslim ticket. He is going to support PDP”
“So if there is somebody who can match Wike madness for madness, boxing for boxing, it’s Amaechi” Sani had said.
Reacting to that claim, Amaechi denied it, saying he is a total falsehood.
“He is lying. There was never any time I said anything like that,” the Minister said on Friday.
