Why we adopted AAC gov candidate in Rivers –Amaechi | Nairalaw

The All Progressives Congress in Rivers has said that its
decision to support the African Action Congress governorship
candidate, Biokpomabo Awara, is because the party (AAC) fits into
the quest of the APC to give Rivers people justice.

The state APC also called on it supporters to turn out and vote
for the AAC governorship candidate.

Leader of the main opposition party in Rivers State and the
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, who addressed
supporters of the APC in Eleme on Wednesday, explained that it was
pertinent for his party to adopt the AAC candidate considering the
closeness of the elections.

Amaechi said, “This morning, the leadership of the party met and
agreed that we would work with a party called the African Action
Congress, while we are still in court to reclaim our mandate.

“So, on Saturday, we will vote for the AAC. You must go home and
vote for the AAC. There should be no excuse not to vote because
there will be security for everybody. You must prepare and make
sure you win the governorship election.”

Amaechi enjoined the people to vote for the candidate of the AAC
as there were numerous benefits they would derive from
government.

“The moment you win the governorship election this Saturday and
the governor is inaugurated in May, by June, there will be local
government elections. So, you should all go out and vote and make
sure that you are not rigged out,” he said.
