[wysija_form id=”1″]March 23, 2015 – Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi is in deep shock over defection of his deputy, Engr. Tele Ikuru to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).

Reacting to the defection, Commissioner for Information in the state, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari  said that though the Deputy is yet to officially notify the governor, the reasons he has adduced for moving to PDP are shocking but nevertheless wished him all the best in future political endeavours.

“Whilst the news remains unofficial at this time, as the Deputy Governor is yet to notify His Excellency the Governor of his move, Governor Amaechi however wishes Engr Ikuru all the best in his future political endeavours.

“He however wishes to note that the reasons adduced by Engr Ikuru are shocking as Deputy Governor lkuru has consistently been the one driving political activities in his local government area of Andoni. He has also been the second in command driving politics and governance in Rivers state.

“On a personal note, Governor Amaechi has accorded Engr Ikuru all the privileges and respect due the office of the Deputy Governor and has treated him with love as a friend and brother.

“Though the Governor had hoped that the numerous rumours of Engr Ikuru’s double-faced membership of the APC and open romance with the PDP were not true, he however appreciates the fact that every individual has a right to pursue his political dreams, as he deems most appropriate.

“It is however regrettable that Engr Ikuru has chosen the dishonourable path of bare faced lies and name calling rather than the more honourable path of simply retracing his steps to where he has always been, ” Amaechi ‘s commissioner said in the statement.
