Former Minister of Transportation and ex-governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has made a bold claim regarding the political dynamics in his home state.
In a recent statement, Amaechi described Rivers State as the “capital of betrayal” in Nigerian politics.
He remarked that most politicians who have risen to prominence in the region have passed through him, highlighting his influence on their political journeys.
Amaechi, who has been a key player in Rivers politics for years, served as the Governor of the state from 2007 to 2015 and was later appointed as Minister of Transportation.
His statement underscores the complex and often tumultuous nature of political alliances and rivalries in the state.
Amaechi’s remarks suggest a deep personal reflection on the political culture in Rivers, which he believes is fraught with disloyalty.
The former governor did not hold back in calling out what he perceives as a pattern of betrayal by politicians he once supported, many of whom have since parted ways with him politically.
