The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to resign. The party's demand follows the purported appointment of Mr.Amaechi as the Director-General of President Buhari reelection campaign organization.

Few days ago, This Day had reported the latest appointment of the former Rivers State Governor into the same position he occupied in the 2015 presidential election for Mr.Buhari. However, Spokesman of the President, Femi Adesina has debunked the appointment explaining that the president was yet to even decide to contest the 2019 poll.

The PDP in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan said;
“If APC has any strand of dignity, then Amaechi must resign as the Minister of Transportation having been appointed and already functioning as the DG of President Buhari’s Campaign. “Under the constitution of Nigeria, Mr. Amaechi cannot combine the job of a Minister of the Federal Republic with another responsibility such as the DG of a campaign organization. “Amaechi’s action in accepting the job while still holding office as Minister is in clear breach of the oath of office and the oath of allegiance, which he swore in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). He should therefore resign his office as minister with immediate effect”.

The party while blaming Amaechi's acceptance of the task on his "desperation" recalls how as a serving Minister of Works, Chief Tony Anenih was appointed to head the campaign of then President Olusegun Obasanjo, the former resigned his cabinet appointment.

Accusing the APC of insensitivity at a time when many Nigerians are angry, hungry and suffering, the PDP said;

“Is it not instructive for Nigerians to now know that the APC has not the littlest agenda on governance for our people and do not have the interest of Nigerians at heart? They have shown that all they care for is their selfish political and pecuniary interests”,

The party further reminded Nigerians of the need to vote massively for it in the 2019 elections as a sure way of ending the era of the APC which she described as "selfish and incompetent".

I don't know why theses PDP people are crying already when even the campaign hasn't started yet. Ameachi hasn't been declared officially and besides show us where in the present constitution where someone can't be a campaign manager and as well a minister.

PDP are shameless set of people

APC are bunch of irresponsible ineffectual buffoons...


^^^poster above is a zombie

Amaechi be bathing PDP with very hot water since time immemorial
Now bubu has given him yet another bucket of very hot water

seems some people are yet to understand that pmb has no ethics...

when the comptroller general of customs, a position that should be apolitical, is the arrow head of buhari support organisation, you now expect a minister to resign?


customs & nnpc are the organisations that will fund the 2019 campaign...
