Former Minister of Transportation and Presidential Aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has stated that he is aware of the challenges of Nigeria, including the problem of insecurity, and that he is capable and ready to solve them.

Amaechi made the statement during his consultative meeting with the Governor and delegates of the APC in Niger State, Thursday.

He noted that he had governed a State that was as bad as what Niger suffers today, and that he is ready to tackle the security problems if elected.
“I know what you’re suffering, I was governor of Rivers State when they were kidnapping two months old children, and I never slept until everybody slept. Gen. Buratai is not here today, he would have told you the story. Buratai, myself the former Inspector General of Police (Suleiman Abba) ask them, we used to chase criminals in the bush. I one day I was chasing criminals with Gen Sarkin Yaki Bello (then Commander of the t Task Force in the Niger Delta), we were running and he stopped and asked me, ‘Your Excellency, are you wearing bullet proof vest?’ I said why are you asking, he said ‘what if they shoot you,’ I said ‘are you wearing one?’ He said no, and I asked ‘what if they shoot you.’

“But in six months, we brought down insecurity in Rivers State,” Amaechi said.

Talking about his contribution to Niger State when he was the Minister of Transportation, Amaechi said, “As Minister for Transport, today, the contract for Baro (Port) awarded, the contract for rail line to go from Baro to Minna also awarded. The Emir told me that the contractor has visited him to say he wants to start work.”

Amaechi further stated that apart from his vast experience, having served and delivered as Speaker, Governor, Minister and Director General of two successful Presidential campaigns, there exist a difference between him and other aspirants, a fact that he is a better experienced politician and a people person.

“Another difference between me and them, is that I am a politician, they’re not. The difference is that I can walk to you and I’ll talk, discuss with you. I can connect easily with the people. I wasn’t born into a rich family. My father was a poor man, the only English my mother knows how to speak is pidgin english. I ate garri three times a day, and I still eat garri three times a day till today, so I know poverty”, he said.

He opined that now is the time for the people of the North and all Nigerians to stand by him, as he did for the country when he ed the emergence of President Buhari, without looking at whether he comes from the North or South.

“When everybody was fighting me, saying ‘he’s ing a Northern candidate, he’s ing a Hausa/Fulani candidate,’ I remained steadfast that I was ing a Nigerian candidate. Now is your turn to?”

“Payback,” The delegates chorused in response.

The Niger State Governor, Sani Bello who welcomed Amaechi to the State, asked the delegates if they were satisfied with Amaechi and his submission, and they all responded, “Yes!”

Earlier, Amaechi paid a courtesy visit to the Emir of Minna, Alhaji Umar Farouq Bahago, who expressed satisfaction with Amaechi’s performance as Minister of Transportation, thanking him for the Baro seaport and rail project he brought to Niger State, affirming that the contractor, CCECC had ed him that they are ready to commence work.

The Emir also stated that Amaechi’s immense experience qualifies him for the job of the President of the country.

Meanwhile, those in Rivers State would recall with nostalgia how Amaechi fought insecurity in Rivers State, and how he brought Economic prosperity and Infrastructural development as Governor.

He has the experience and the charisma to deliver!

Election is at the corner;not surprised to see all these politicians dishing out motivational stories and fake promises

Amaechi cannot win primary election talkless of winning general election,so he should tell buhari the solution now or he keep his mouth forever

Damnnn niggar

You ain't know no shit

Amaechi, stop capping carelessly! If not, you go collect wotowoto when you lap ama.

Even a toddler knows the problem of Nigeria.

this same idiot said he is not contesting and anyone who wants to sponsor his ambition should give him the money instead..... From all the names I have seen, we will still end up with a bad leader in 2023..

Huge Cap
But at least you're better than an old thief from iragbiji

Criminal element.

We Trust u Dan Amana!
Even Yorubas trust u 100%

You are experienced and an astute par excellence.

5 million kaduna votes in the bag already, same with the whole Northern states, Mop up of the whole South South, All Southeast votes guaranteed. You are going to win this election without the inconsequential South West.
Amaechi doesn't need Yoruba votes and I will say it here again and again. Yorubas are inconsequential in this 2023 election and after the elections, we will put them where they belong or send them on exile to Benin Republic.

Sai Amaechi!!!

Tinubu: South East and South South cannot reap where they did not sow. I formed this party.


Amaechi

Amechi, if you get 100votes in primaries then u really tried

ok we are waiting sir

Ameachi is my second most preferred candidate after Asiwaju

Neither Amechi, Osibanjo not Tinubu will emerge as APC presidential candidate.

This I have seen.

John snow, you know nothing

Ok oo... Na so them dey talk until they enter inside. Any Nigerian that still believes in Nigeria politicians' manifesto is a big fool

The chosen one

LIESSSSS...ALL LIES!!!


I really do not want to burst your bubble...What I am about to say may IRK you and you may end up BINDING ME IJN�, however A TRUTH IS A TRUTH and it must be told.



There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that Nigeria can move from an ABYSMAL THIRD WORLD COUNTRY into a FIRST WORLD COUNTRY in the next two decades. Sorry, if I just broke your heart, but one of the conditions for countries that made that kind of leap was "LONG TERM GOOD LEADERSHIP".




Let's look at a country like Singapore. Li Kuan Yew took Singapore from poverty to prosperity in a 30 Year period...There is no Nigerian in this OLD CROP of politicians who can change this nation in 8 years not to talk of 4 years...




I am sorry again if I broke your heart, but A TRUTH must be told, it's why I am in the Thought Leadership space. I know you want to begin to POSITIVELY CONFESS AND MANIFEST a prosperous Nigeria�. Common guys, we have been positively confessing for decades...




If we are to get things right there are certain conditions that MUST be fulfilled and these conditions CANNOT be negotiated�!



Another country to have done this is RWANDA.



Last Bullet: All these politicians are promising what they CANNOT AND WILL NOT be able to deliver. With a debt profile of over 58 Trillion Naira, I dare to say that Nigeria is not getting better anytime soon!

FalseProphet1:
Neither Amechi, Osibanjo not Tinubu will emerge as APC presidential candidate.

This I have seen.

As a false prophet wey you be

Where you in Rivers State when he was Governor? Ask Rivers people. Don't just be hating for no serious reason

Deal with your wife first and blood sugar first

You are one of the problems in Nigeria so go and deal with yourself. Gosh you guys need a purge just like the movie. Make murder permissible for 24hrs. That would clean up these criminals in power.

Speaking in parables as usual. Idiots

Nigeria still has a problem you know even with your party in power. You will be worst than Buhari. "Failure"

So u know and hid it from Buhari.

So you know Nigeria problems all this past 7 years and you no tell your Oga . Yeye dey smell.

We all know the problem of this country and you're part of the problem sir.

Don't these politicians get tired with all this washed up narration and fake promises.
