The acting managing director of the Niger Delta Development Company (NDDC), Ibim Semenitari has disclosed the reason why former Rivers governor, Rotimi Amaechi, turned his back on former president, Goodluck Jonathan, in the 2015 general election.
She revealed this in an interview with The Interview magazine and monitored by Premium Times.
She said: “Amaechi believed that Muhammadu Buhari had all it took to change the trajectory and envisioned that Nigeria was heading in a different direction.
“For him (Amaechi) having Buhari there was great for the integrity of the country and also to pull back the country from the brink.”
When asked if her own position and the double ministry assigned to Amaechi by Buhari were rewards for Amaechi’s electoral contribution, Semenitari replied:
“Amaechi had no thought of any personal reward for doing what he did.”
