Minister of Transportation, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi said on Saturday that he did not appoint anyone as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State.

In a statement personally signed by the minister, he denied media report that he had appointed a governorship candidate for his party in the state, noting that the said report was false.

The statement read: “On official national assignment in China, the attention of the Honourable Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, has been drawn to several wild, misleading, misguided and deliberately distorted stories and claims linking the minister who is the Leader of the APC in Rivers State and the South-South region, to a purported ‘appointment’ of a governorship candidate for the APC in Rivers State for the 2019 gubernatorial election. To clarify this fallacy, the minister restates that: “As an individual, a registered voter and a card-carrying APC member from Rivers State, it’s the Honourable Minister’s inalienable, constitutionally enshrined democratic right to back/support/promote any qualified fellow party member of his choice, to aspire to be the candidate of the party in the state in the forthcoming governorship election or any other election.

“However, as a true and thorough democrat, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, a foundation member of the APC and a leading light of the party, recognises that the party candidates for the 2019 general elections will be chosen/elected by party members through the prescribed democratic process in the party’s constitution, rules and regulations.

“It is, therefore, preposterous, mischievous; wholly and intentionally disingenuous and deceitful for anyone to claim, allege or even insinuate that the Honourable Minister has “appointed” a governorship candidate for APC in Rivers State.”

Cos u know it'll be effort in futility. APC better not waste their tym and money contesting in Rivers, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Cross River states in 2019 cos PDP will win back to back in those states. Meanwhile, we're waiting for Ambode to leave the evil party

In politics anything is possible

In the first place, he doesn't have the power to pick a candidate for the post, he doesn't own Rivers. Except he wants to play God.

Nothing new.

It's a Nigerian factor.

All governors and political party leaders always want to impose candidates and successors.

You ain't know politics trust me.

You can't even see the Joker Ameachi is playing

I just don't want to believe this report or story Amaechi might be trying to deflect attention from his preferred candidate, Dakuku peterside .

I'm thinking, needed someone to stand against wike for now. If wike wins and finishes his term , he'd now present Dakuku as the candidate for 2023. It will be bad for Dakuku to lose twice to wike in a row and come back in 2023. People would have grown tired of him by then. So, he needs to take a break for now.

Interesting.. .

good for you

Na So
