If we lose in 2019, we’ll go home and rest - Amaechi
Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, says
if the All Progressives Congress (APC) loses the 2019 elections, it will “go
home and rest”.
Speaking during a reception organised for him as
grand patron of Ikwerre Youth Movement (IYM) in Rivers state, Amaechi said the
general election will be the party’s last battle.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari will ensure
that the elections will be free and fair.
Amaechi, who is an ex-governor of the state, said
there would no imposition of candidates by the APC during its primaries.
He urged the people to register so they can
exercise their franchise.
“The 2019 elections, especially the governorship,
are our last battle. If we win, we will take over Rivers State. If we lose in
the election, we will go home and rest,” Amaechi said.
“We will not impose any candidate. Anybody who
will go for any position, like chairmanship, should go for primaries. Anybody
who wins will be the party’s candidate.
“The President said that there would be no rigging
during the 2019 elections. It is to our advantage.
“Go and register to be eligible to vote and to put
the candidates of your choice in power.
“As Ikwerre people, we must give out the power to
other ethnic nationalities. But we will be in a position to take it back at any
time. Your future is in your hands.”
