Buhari’s campaign DG, Amaechi and PDP Gov. Lamido in secret meeting. Why?

So what was Gov. Rotimi Amaechi, the Director General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Organisation and Rivers State Governor doing yesterday at the Jigawa Government House in Dutse? Answer: He was having a secret meeting with the PDP governor of the state, Sule Lamido.

But why?

Answer: We don’t know. The men refused to talk to the press.

On Sunday, the two men who used to be allies when they formed part of the new PDP group which broke out from the party following a flawed convention in 2013. They have since parted ways and Lamido has spent a lot of time recently hitting at the people who left PDP for the APC. But like they say, in politics, there are no permanent foes.

Lamido is the coordinator of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation for North-West zone; while Amaechi is the director-general of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Council.

It was gathered that the two governors started the closed-door meeting at the Presidential Lodge in Government House, Dutse at about 10:05.am and ended at 11:30 am.

Lamido emerged after the meeting and drove himself in a Peugeot 206 car without speaking to journalists and returned to his official residence.

Amaechi who drove himself in a black Toyota Land Cruiser jeep with few escorts to the government house also declined to speak to journalists.

Also in attendance at the meeting was APC chieftain in the state Alhaji Farouq Aliyu and the party candidate for Jigawa Central Senatorial District Sabo Nakudu.

With all the talk that eight PDP governors have entered into an alliance with the APC to support its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, it is believed that Lamido is one of them.
