Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has said his Deputy, Engr. Tele Ikuru, was yet to inform him of his decision to leave the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

DAILY POST reports that the Deputy Governor, Sunday, announced his official defection to the PDP, saying he could not continue to be loyal to Governor Rotimi Amaechi at his own detriment.


He said it has become very difficult for him to fix himself properly in the APC which he tagged a deceitful party.

However, in a statement by his Commissioner for Information, Ibim Semenitari, Amaechi said it was obvious Ikuru only returned to where his heart had been.

“While 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 said.

“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.”
