Why Amaechi, five govs dumped Jonathan, left PDP in 2015 – Murray-Bruce

Former Bayelsa senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, has opened up on why former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaeachi, and five other governors dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2015.

In a viral video sighted by MEDIA TODAY, Murray-Bruce attributed the crisis to poor decisions and bad advice former President Goodluck Jonathan was getting from his aides.

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

According to him, some presidential aides failed to treat with urgency the clear signs that major political figures within the party 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.
