Since he lost the APC presidential primaries ticket to Tinubu, Rotimi Amaechi has been uncharacteristically quiet and somewhat detached and indifferent about the affairs of his party.
Surprisingly, on May 29th when Tinubu was getting sworn in and a lot of governors elected on the platform of APC in different states, Amaechi chose to attend the inauguration of Alex Otti, the only Labour Party Governor that was sworn in that day. Yours faithfully was surprised to see Amaechi there sitting next to Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, Peter Obi’s running mate in the last election.
The next time I saw Amaechi in public was at the burial of the late mother of Emeka Ihedioha. It was an event attended by mostly PDP members but Amaechi attended anyways although he sat like nobody invited him but only came because he was bored at home. Lol! Remember that Obi attended that burial too.
And now, in new set of pictures, Obi and Amaechi were photographed together in an event. No, it didn’t look like they met at the event, the kind of conviviality captured in the photographs looked like they attended the event together in the company of the only APGA senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe – Soludo’s party’s only senator.
Remember that Soludo bragged before the election that APGA was the third biggest political party in Nigeria. I think they are fifth now, behind NNPP. Life!
Now, back to the topic, is Rotimi Amaechi now Peter Obi’s ally?
