Former Vice Chairman, South South, of All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Hilliard Eta, has berated former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, over his claim that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, influenced the appointment of the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu.

Eta, in a chat with newsmen in Abuja, said there was no iota of truth in the claim by Amaechi, who served two-term governor of Rivers State.

He said there was no iota of truth in Amaechi’s claim, adding that Amaechi position was purely based on malice and envy of Tinubu’s achievements.

According to him, the ruling party cannot continue to tolerate a man, who has gotten so much from the APC and has the audacity to speak ill of the party.
