A book entitled “Through the slippery slopes of Rivers State politics”, has highlighted how leadership of the Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has caused the party losses in the state since 2015.
The book, authored by a chieftain of the party and former Chief of Staff, Government House, Rivers State, Sir Tony Okocha, was presented to the public in Port Harcourt at the weekend with the author saying it was his contribution to impact on the people as they read and be guided in the state.
Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the public presentation of the book, Okocha said: “I just believe that knowledge is the cross fertilisation of ideas and I had experiences working in the government.
“Whatever intellectual work anybody does if it misses the target of intellectual edification or future research, then you throw it into the refuse bin. I also decided to do it so that you people in the media will not see us as trouble makers but to understand that we can also go into intellectualism.”
Speaking on his concentration on the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi in the book, he declared that his intention was not to malign the former minister.
“The truth of the matter is that as I said I was encapsulating my personal experiences and part of my personal experiences in life and particularly in the sphere of politics will be incomplete without mentioning the name of former Govermor Amaechi. I’m also of the APC slant right now.
