Could this be the change Nigerians need?
With few weeks to the presidential election, Governor
Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has again assured that the
All Progressives Congress, APC, under Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari will turn the country’s misfortunes around if
elected.
He noted that the current challenges plaguing the
country would adequately be addressed with the needed
political will to positively turn around the country’s wheel
of development.
Amaechi spoke in Degema, Obonoma and Abonnema
communities in Degema and Akuku-Toru Local
Government Areas of the state during APC’s ward to ward
campaign.
He criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for not taking
decisive action on the recent tragic shooting that
disrupted the APC rally in Okirika, Rivers State.
He said: “This election is not about brother, it is about
your stomach. If dollar likes, it can get to N300 or N400
to a dollar, the President can afford it but you can’t
afford it. Now they tried everything possible to stop the
dollar from losing control. They couldn’t because the
economy will determine whether the dollar will lose
control or not and the economy has done that already.
“Another one is fuel. They have done everything possible
to pay for fuel. They can’t pay. The money is not there.
Now, there is fuel crisis. If they win, they will abandon
you completely because they have no solution to the
problems.
“The first solution to the problems is a new government.
Are we going to win? The answer is yes. We have not
started campaign. We will start campaign by the end of
this week. We will see the crowd again that will frighten
the president. Nigerians want change. Things have got to
change.”
He decried the poor state of the federal road in Kalabari
area, assuring that Buhari, when elected president, will fix
the road and bring other democratic dividends to the
state.
“See your road. Two years ago, I sat with the president
and Kalabari chiefs and I said, ‘Allow me take this road.
The president said no’. You can see the road. Next rainy
season, you cannot drive into this place unless you
change the President and if you change the President,
then the new President can fix the road.”
