Rotimi Amaechi, the Transportation Minister and presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has pledged his allegiance to President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC as he prepares to run for president in 2023.
It’s unfortunate, according to Amaechi, that many politicians do not really understand the concept of loyalty.
“Loyalty is not when you are not chosen, you become disloyal; loyalty means you follow the man that leads you. I am a very loyal person and those who are disloyal, I wish them well; those who want to do whatever they want to do, I wish them well,” he said.
According to a statement from his media office, Amaechi spoke during a consultative meeting with executives, delegates, and other party faithful at the Rivers State APC Secretariat on Friday, indicating that he is neither desperate nor disloyal in his bid to become President of Nigeria, which he is thoroughly qualified for.
“The opportunity will be given to everybody; we will run this presidential election; we will run, and I am loyal to the president and I am loyal to the party. If the party says it is me, thank God. If the party says it is not me, whoever the party chooses, I will support it. If the party and the president choose anybody, I will support the person; if the party chooses me, I will be glad and say thank God,” Amaechi added.
Forsige Africa previously stated that a Presidential candidate who declared interest in the upcoming presidential race paid a visit to Lagos and other South Western states in the wake of gaining further support.
