Why Amaechi and Five Governors Ousted Jonathan and Left PDP in 2015

Former Bayelsa senator Ben Murray-Bruce has explained why former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaeachi and five other governors left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015.

In a viral video that appeared on social media and was reported by DAILY POST, Murray-Bruce blamed the split on poor decisions and misguided advice that former President Goodluck Jonathan received from his aides.

He said that those surrounding the former President ignored repeated warnings about growing dissatisfaction among key PDP governors.

According to him, some presidential aides failed to respond urgently to clear indications that major party figures were unhappy and considering defection.

“As I sit here and think about my experience with people who were so incompetent and unconcerned about the people they served, giving silly advice to the Commander-in-Chief, I am amazed. I can’t get over it,” he said.
