Rotimi Amaechi, minister of
transportation, says President Muhammadu Buhari will run an inclusive
government because he is “guided by the fact that Nigerians have suffered
enough”.
Speaking at a press conference in
Abuja on Tuesday, the minister thanked Nigerians for voting the All
Progressives Congress (APC) during the election.
He said the support for the
ruling party in the south has tripled, adding that there is a difference
between what the party recorded in the region in 2015 and at the just concluded
polls.
“The support in the south
increased, tripled as against what we had in 2015,” he said.
The transportation minister said
there was no voter apathy because people knew the APC would win the
presidential election.
“Why will be there be apathy?
Buhari supporters will say he has already won, if you see the crowd we pulled
state by state, you will not want to vote,” the transportation minister said.
“Borno people were hanging on
trees, on roof tops.”
The director-general said it is
important that prayers should be made for the souls of those who died during
campaign.
He also blamed the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) for some of the challenges that the nation is facing.
“You said we should not blame
PDP, we are not blaming PDP but I’m a student of history, history is the study
of past event and the present,” he said.
“The last money they left in the
ECA was $2.5 billion… we are grateful for PDP, let’s not fight over this issue
in court, let’s work together as friends and in four years time we come to
another election and we encourage INEC that it is free and fair. That is what
the president is emphasising.”
