PORT HARCOURT: Mr. Opunabo Inko-Tariah, the erstwhile Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor Nyesom Wike has defected to the All Progressives Congress
Inko-Tariah , who issued a statement on Thursday expressed his appreciation to the immediate past governor of the state and Minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who was there for him when he was sick.
Inko-Tariah noted that although he had condemned Amaechi previously but he did something that really took him by surprise by calling to check on him when he had challenges with his health. He added that he would give his support to Peterside and ensure that he wins should there be any rerun.
In his words, “It was surprising that a man I censured, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, CON, the Hon. Minister of Transport, was the same person who showed unsolicited love and care.
“It was reinvigorating when he called to sympathise and also gave his widow’s mite while I was already in the United States for medical treatment after reading my resignation letter. How compassionate can a man be!
“On my support for Hon. (Dr.) Dakuku Peterside, it is only natural that one reciprocates gestures. Therefore, I state my support for Rt. Hon. Amaechi and Dr. Peterside for the love they have shown.
“More so, Dr. Peterside is a man whose refreshing initiatives and articulated policy options will help refuel the ethos of good governance in Rivers State.”
Speaking on why he resigned as the special adviser to the governor,he said that when he fell in the bathroom and sustained a head injury and when he escaped assasination attack, the governor did not show any atom of care.
