Ameachi To Get "Ordinary" Chairman of Amnesty From Buhari

After the risks Rotimi Amaechi went though for APC, if this is what he would get from the government of Muhammadu Buhari, then it's a let down. Rivers politicians who supported him are in trouble.

Information obtained from a credible but unverified source indicates that former Governor Amaechi may have been assigned to a position by the Buhari administration, and it is not any important post.

Specifically, the source indicates that the Buhari team consisting of largely northern elders tipped the person of Amaechi to fill the position of head of the Niger Delta Amnesty program.

It remains uncertain whether the Amaechi camp will ever accept such an offer. But reactions from Rivers State indicate that the Amaechi camp may reject the offer, seeing it as insulting and degrading.

The source indicates that the Buhari team has decided to fill their cabinet with loyalist to the ‘northern agenda’ and the Buhari agenda – rather than those who worked tirelessly for the victory.
