Amaechi[1]The recent loss of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the governorship election in Ekiti State to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has become a warning signal of some sort to the party to up their game in grassroots politics.

Ahead of the 2015 governorship election in Rivers State, Governor Chibuike Amaechi, on Friday went on a “meet the people” tour of the grassroots communities including Igwuruta, Omagua,Isiokpo among others in Ikwere local government area.

With him was the Minister of State for Education, Nyesome Wike of the PDP, as they tour the 12 communities in the council.

The governor said  that his visit was not a campaign visit for any party but an opportunity to meet his people.

Although, it seemed to be an APC rally, as some people in the crowd were chanting PDP trying to fly the party’s flag.

Officials of the Nigeria Police Force were also part of the touring team to ensure that it was a peaceful one.

Governor Ameachi had defected to the APC from the PDP with four other governors in November 2013.
