Rotimi Amaechi, a senior member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and former transportation minister, has been charged by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers with “secretly working” with the PDP’s presidential nominee, Atiku Abubakar.

“Unknown to most Nigerians, the vicious cabal that has made it a duty to inflict pain and suffering on the rest of us has done so deliberately in order to influence the outcome of the forthcoming elections.”
