Rotimi Amaechi, Transport Minister and former governor of Rivers State said he decided to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because of his quest for change. The former Governor stated this on Tuesday in Lagos. He explained that the decision was even made simpler with the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as the flag bearer of the party in the last election.

He further said he would have remained in the PDP to fight for the desired change but his believe in Buhari made him to dump the PDP.


“I moved from PDP to APC because I am tired of what is happening in the party, I have the option to stay because of my position as the Chairman of the Governors then. I can use my position to fight them (PDP) and get what I want because I believe Nigeria was not going in the right direction by then.


My attention and belief shifted to Buhari which was the viable alternative, I believe in the change mantra because it is the only way to improve on what is on ground. He has not disappointed because the economy is now back on track and is growing. This is evident in the current prices of food items because it’s getting lower.’’
