Minister of Transportation,
Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday spoke on the 2019 general election.
He charged all members of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) to work hard to ensure victory for the party in the
presidential, governorship and legislative elections.
Amaechi also assured that there
would not be imposition of candidates by the APC during this year’s primaries.
He spoke during a reception
organized for him as grand patron of Ikwerre Youth Movement (IYM) at the Movement’s
national secretariat at Isiokpo, Ikwerre local government area of the state.
His words: “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.
“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 former Rivers governor said
it was important to ensure rotation of power among ethnic nationalities in the
state.
He urged members of the APC and
IYM register to vote, noting that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers
State can only be removed through ballot.
“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.
“The President (Muhammadu Buhari)
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”, Amaechi stressed.
