Rivers ACN Blast Tinubu For Meeting With Amaechi.

The Rivers State chapter of the Action
Congress of Nigeria, ACN has criticised its
national leader and former governor of
Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
over his meeting with Governor Rotimi
Amechi without recourse to the state
executive members even as it sets up a
two-man delegation to meet with the
national officers of the party over their
varying positions on the romance with the
Rivers State governor.
A statement signed by ACN Publicity
Secretary in the state, Jerry Needam, said
a two-man committee comprising the
state leader of the party, Dr Abiye Sekibo
and Kenneth Kobani, the national
treasurer, who is from the state, has been
mandated to communicate its stands to
the national party leader.
According to the statement, this is sequel
to the state executive meeting of Sunday,
May 2, 2013 which centered on the
unilateral resolve by the ACN national
leaders to identify with and work for the
interest of Governor Amaechi, who it
alleged “is entrapped in an intractable
Peoples Democratic party, PDP, crisis that
tends to consign him into political
irrelevance.”
The party made some allegations against
the state governor, who it said took many
anti-democratic actions against its
members.
“The state chapter of the party is
aggrieved that Governor Amaechi, who
has left no stone unturned in
marginalising the opposition in the state,
notably the ACN and that had unleashed
all manners of persecution against the
party and its members, including its state
leader, Dr Abiye Sekibo, during and after
the April 26, 2011 general elections, could
easily warm himself into the party without
the knowledge of the state chapter of the
party.”
