I will Support Whoever is Buhari and APC’s Choice for President, Says Transportation Minister Amaechi

Nigeria’s Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday said he would support President Buhari and APC’s chosen candidate for the 2023 presidential election.

Amaechi, in a statement, said this at a consultative meeting with executives, delegates and another party faithful at the Rivers APC Secretariat at the weekend.
The minister indicated that in his bid to become the President of Nigeria, which he is thoroughly qualified for, he was neither desperate nor disloyal.
The two terms governor of Rivers said it was sad that many politicians do not understand the concept of loyalty.
“Loyalty is not when you are not chosen, you become disloyal, loyalty means you follow the man that leads you, that you have surrendered to his leadership.
“If you don’t follow, it means you are not loyal, you are only benefitting from the man politically and economically. The day he’s not able to give you that economic reality, is the day you become disloyal.
“I am a very loyal person, and those who are disloyal, I wish them well, those who want to do whatever they want to do, I wish them well,” he said.
According to him, the opportunity will be given to everybody and all will run in this presidential election.
“We will run and I am loyal to the President and I am loyal to the party.
“If the party says it is me, thank God. If the party says it is not me, whoever the party chooses, I will support it.
“If the party and President choose anybody, I will support the person, if the party chooses me, I will be glad and say thank God,” Amaechi explained.
