Former Caretaker Committe Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Ojukaye Flag Amachree has dumped the earlier idea of adopting Consensus by picking his Expression of Intent and Nomination forms to contest for Governorship seat.
Amachree, has not only picked his forms and posted the photos news and online, he was equally welcomed by supporters who received him at Port Harcourt International Airport yesterday, Sunday.
In a very brief speech he” Rivers people must be allowed Rivers speak. I’ll address you people tomorrow. Go home, be law abiding and peaceful”
It would be recalled that the Governorship Aspirants, (except Abe) according to George Tolofari, the Convener of 12 Progressives Governorship Aspirants, had signed an agreement tacitly agreeing that all of them will support any of them the party picks by Consensus.
Tonye Cole was eventually picked as the Consensus by the Elders of the party in the presence of the Aspirants, except Senator Magnus Abe and two others.
However, Governorship Aspirants like Prince Tonye Princewill and Dr Sokonte Davis openly accepted the decision of the party elders, but some are yet to state their position.
