He stated that others who resigned from the party had already pitched their tents somewhere and only wanted to formalize what they had always wanted to do.

 

The APC chieftain said, “If you look at it critically, just about four or five people who worked with Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, have resigned from the party. They are Hon. Dawari George, Hon. George Tolofari, Celestine Akpobari, Theodore Georgewill and Tonye Princewill.

“The rest of the resignations are people who have long abandoned ship and pitched their tent somewhere else. So, it was just a case of formalizing what they had always wanted to do; to vacate the party. So, it is no big deal.

“But, truly speaking, I am not one of those that will say the five gentlemen that left were good riddance to bad rubbish. No! My position is that we would have been better off with them around. Quiet frankly, as an individual I wish them well because these are gentlemen who I had relationship with and I know that they are men of integrity.”
