The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) has reacted with joy to the news of the nomination of the immediate
past governor of the State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as a Minister by
President Muhammadu Buhari, describing it as a fitting independence anniversary
gift by the Nigerian leader to Rivers State and her people.
A statement signed by the State Party Chairman, Dr.
Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, and issued Tuesday in Port Harcourt said:
“With the listing of Rt. Hon. Amaechi as a
ministerial nominee despite all the manipulations, witch-hunting and other evil
plots by Chief Nyesom Wike and his cohorts, we are elated that, once more, good
has prevailed over evil, God over devil, Amaechi over wicked Wike, light over
darkness, patriotism over nepotism.

“By this singular act, President Muhammadu Buhari
has not only given us the best 55th independence anniversary gift but has also
liberated Rivers State from the shackles of a despotic and demonic clique that
thought that by propaganda that they could rewrite the history of Rivers State
and run down a man whose love for the development and emancipation of Rivers
State and Nigeria is infectious.
President Buhari has proven that he is not only a
man of honour, integrity and principle but also a man who cherishes and
promotes friendship and patriotism. We are proud that Buhari did not allow the
propaganda by Wike and his cohorts to sway him from the fact that Amaechi is a
man that he can trust any day and anytime.”
Rivers APC assured President Buhari that Amaechi
will not only bring honour to his administration but will also work very hard
to make his administration one of the best ever in the annals of Nigeria’s
history.
“As we congratulate Amaechi, we urge him to be
steadfast in his drive for a better Nigeria by giving out his best as the
failure of the Buhari administration will be blamed on him in view of the risks
and sacrifices he made in bringing the APC government to birth.
We thank General Olusegun Obasanjo, Bola Tinubu, TY
Danjuma and all the great minds that ensured that the plots of evil men never
prevailed in the appointment of Amaechi as a Minister of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria as his non-appointment would have discouraged most Nigerians from
working hard to unseat n non-performing government headed by their kinsman,”
Rivers APC said.
The party urged Chief Wike to actualise his threat
to commit suicide if Amaechi is made a Minister.
“Wike, the
Caretaker Governor of Rivers State, was so sure that Amaechi would not be so
appointed when he boasted to his inner caucus that based on his groundwork
Amaechi would never be on the ministerial list. So sure was Wike that he vowed
that if for any reason Amaechi was appointed a minister he (Wike) would commit
suicide.
We expect
him to act according to his vow but before he commits suicide let him first
refund all the Rivers State billions of naira wasted in the persecution of a
man who brought him into political limelight and whom he is hounding for no
sane reason,” Rivers APC said.
