Trending online is the news that embattled former
Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi may have
betrayed his close political associate and Senate
President, Bukola Saraki in his quest to regain the
lost confidence of President Buhari.
Saraki, it was who facilitated Amaechi’s emergence
as Chairman of Governors Forum before Amaechi
ran the aground.
Daniel Wilson posted: “Shortly after NASS
leadership election, Saraki confided in Amaechi his
plan for the new PDP block of APC, he thought
Amaechi could be trusted since they have a
common in-house enemy which is Tinubu, but he
never knew he was talking to a traitor.
“Sources revealed to South and East Union that,
Saraki told Amaechi to join force with him to
protect the interest of the new PDP block in the
party so that Tinubu won’t take them for granted.
He also told Amaechi that they should be more
aggressive in the party so that they would be the
force to reckon with in the party, and if the
opposition he is facing from the party and Buhari
as the senate president continue, they will dump
the party for PDP.
“Amaechi was said to have told him that he will
support him and other members of the new PDP
block, but he can’t go back to PDP because that
would be a political suicide.
They both agreed to put the new PDP block first in
anything they are doing in the party.
Amaechi seeing that Buhari is now skeptical about
his loyalty to him because of his support for the
emergence of Saraki, decided to use what Saraki
told him to buy favour and gain more trust from
Buhari.
Instead of going directly to Buhari with the
information, he decided to take it to Obasanjo first,
because he knew that Buhari would be more
interested in the case if it’s coming from Obasanjo.
Obasanjo then visited Buhari at the villa, told him
what Amaechi said, then he gave Buhari a copy of
Saraki’s false assets declaration that was brought
to his table since 2003 when he was president.
Obasanjo suggested to Buhari to use any means to
edge out Saraki if he ever wish to have a smooth
time in office.
The grand plan is to hurriedly jail Saraki, then
choose another loyal APC senator from North-
central to be senate president. Obasanjo was of
the opinion that it would be dangerous to allow
Lawan who is loyal to Tinubu to succeed Saraki
because Tinubu is power lust, and he would do
anything to cage Buhari for his selfish interest.”
