We are going to form the next government in Nigeria and send Tinubu to Bourdillon,\u201d the lawyer said.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking on the structure of the ADC in the country, the ADC chieftain stated that the party exists across the 36 states, adding that in Rivers, a former minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, being a prominent leader of the ADC, qualified to be addressed as the leader of the party in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ADC exists in the 36 states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Rotimi Amaechi naturally is one of the prominent leaders of ADC in Rivers state and in the South-South. So, it will not be out of place if you say that he is the leader of the ADC in Rivers State,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
