There are speculations that six commissioners in Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s cabinet a re set to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party on or before Friday, and it doesn't look like the APC members are finding it funny.It all started with Gov. Amaechi’s deputy, Mr. Tele Ikuru,who defected to the PDP on Sunday with a promise that his supporters would soon join him in his new party at the right time.
Though five commissioners were seen to be Amaechi’s die-hard supporters, other commissioners could be well out of the APC soon.
A source in the Government House, Port Harcourt, according to punch said that he could only vouch for commissioners in charge of Information, Agriculture, Works and two other ministries, adding that those who stood for pecuniary gains could defect to the PDP.
“Yes, the deputy governor has defected and you will agree with me that he (Ikuru) has supporters who will definitely want to go with him. We are suspecting them already and very soon, they will show themselves.
“But one thing is clear, the Amaechi they are betraying has always stood by them. Amaechi does not betray anybody and anything he tells you today, check in the next 20 years, he will still maintain his stand,” the source said.
