Posters bearing the photograph of embattled Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi and that of his Jigawa counterpart, Sule Lamido, for the 2015 presidential election have been spotted in some parts of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
The governor who has been suspended from the People’s Democratic Party has however denied having any ambition to contest the 2015 election against President Goodluck Jonathan, saying the posters might be the handiwork of his political detractors.
Amaechi’s poster which bears the Peoples Democrtic Party, PDP, logo, were seen pasted along the highway and some bus stops, especially, the Federal Housing Estate Kubwa, Dutse bus stop and others, and were said to have been posted in the early hours of Democracy Day.
The posters were first seen in March, an d even then Amaechi denied having a hand in the emergence of the posters.
Speaking through his Commissioner for Information, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, on the campaign posters, Amaechi said he neither had any political ambition for the 2015 presidential election nor printed posters.
“We have no such knowledge (of the posters) The governor of Rivers State has not printed any poster, but it may be the detractors behind that. Governor Chibuike Amaechi is not interested in election in 2015,” he said.
