Broke, hungry PDP wants to come back to steal —Amaechi
The Director General, President Muhammadu Buhari/Osinbajo 2019 Campaign Council, Rotimi Amaechi has accused members of the the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of coming to the party to look for funds to steal.
Amaechi spoke in Bauchi while receiving 18 members of the PDP into the APC.
In his words, “They [PDP] are broke; they are hungry and want to come back to steal.
“Because they are broke, they are looking for cheap means of fund and we look at them when they say you are hungry.
“They have easily forgotten that they stole $2 billion US Dollars to prosecute 2015 election but we won.”
The former governor of Rivers state said, ”We listen to our colleagues at the other divide and say that you are hungry because they stole all the money meant for you.
