Amaechi and Jonathan

Amaechi who was  speaking when he received some decampees from the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) into the All Progressives Congress,(APC) in Rivers State noted that he has the capacity to predict what would happen because the grace of God is upon him.

Averring  that his sustenance is from God, the Minister said: “Next year, we are starting prayer session. You know, when Goodluck fought us, he was not fighting me, he was fighting God and I knew he would fail.

“Tell them from next year prayer will start, I will come to Port Harcourt like I used to come and I will say this will happen and it will happen.

“Let me tell you who I am; I do not drink, I have never tasted alcohol in my life, I don’t smoke; I am not tribalistic. Whether in Rivers State or in Nigeria, I am not tribalistic. ‘If I were tribalistic, President Goodluck Jonathan offered me opportunity to remain in PDP…”

According to Amaechi, he trained, nurtured and mentored more than 90% of the political actors in Rivers state.  While welcoming the decampees back to the  APC,  he said:”Let me welcome my friends like they told you, they shared power with me in Assembly. And I tell people that there are not up to 10% of politicians in Rivers state who didn’t pass through me, mention names, I know their characters.”

Among those who decamped were Alabo Michael West,  John Bazia, Chima Obinna, Salvation and  one Ezengwogwo.
