Former Governor of Rivers State and Minister of
Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi has opened up on why he ran round the Port
Harcourt Stadium on the day of his declaration to run for the office of the
President.
Amaechi, who is running for the presidency under the All
Progressives Congress, APC, had on the day of his official declaration, covered
the full circle of the football field.
This left many people wondering what the minister was up to,
with some suggesting that he was mocking the older aspirants in the party.
But the minister, who was in Ile Ife to consult the Ooni of
Ife on Monday, said he took the decision just to be sure how fit he was, adding
that he is like a bridge between the young and the old.
“Age will not be an issue. I am like a bridge between the
young and the old,” Amaechi said.
“People have asked me why I ran round the stadium, I was
checking to see how fit I am, so I had to run round the stadium to confirm to
myself that I’m strong enough to carry the problems of the country, whether it
is mentally or physically.
“Because you need both mental capacity and physical fitness
to manage this country.
“You have to be physically strong and have the mental
capacity to make decisions on behalf of the country,” he stated.
