A source who spoke on the matter alleged that the ex-governor of Rivers state has not been treated fairly by members of the Tinubu's camp.

The source said:

“It is an understatement to say he (Amaechi) is not happy. When Oshiomhole went to Port Harcourt, he asked the people to only support Tinubu and that for the other positions, they should support Wike.
