Gov. Rotimi Amaechi named DG of APC Presidential Campaign Organization - APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has named Gov. Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State as the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Organization, which will drive the party's efforts to win the 2015 presidential election.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the announcement followed the hugely successful convention at which its presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, was democratically elected, and the follow-up successful choice of his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

It said Gov. Amaechi's outstanding reputation as a man of courage, principle, strength of character, decency and love of country, as well as his administrative prowess and organizational skills combined to fetch him perhaps the most important task in the quest for positive change in Nigeria.

APC thanked Nigerians for their support and prayers toward the success of the convention, the emergence of Gen. Buhari as the APC presidential candidate and the choice of Prof. Osinbajo as his running mate.

The party said it believed it had lived to its promise to Nigerians to ensure that the choice of its presidential running mate would be made within the context of the best democratic ideals, considering the enormously-positive reactions from the general public to the choice of Prof. Osinbajo.

''With a presidential candidate that has rekindled the hopes of the citizenry and revived their belief in democratic ideals, we believe we must also choose a running mate that will complement the sterling qualities of the presidential candidate. We must confess that the choice was a tough one, considering the array of eminently-qualified and outstanding candidates that we had to choose from.

''Yes, we were spoilt for choice but, in the end, we picked as running mate a man whose pedigree, nationally, sub-regionally, regionally and globally, attests to the fact that our party, the APC, is a repository of high quality leadership materials, and that our country, Nigeria, has no shortage of the very best human resources,'' it said.
APC said whether in the academic, legal or ecclesial world, Prof. Osinbajo stands much taller than his physical frame, and serves as a good accompaniment to our presidential candidate, himself a man of such rare sterling qualities that have stood the test of time, qualities that are now so sorely lacking in our country's leadership.

''Our presidential running mate is an award-winning professor of law, a legal luminary, a gentleman, a much-sought-after public speaker,a tested administrator, an author and a man of great ecclesiastical standing. 

''Educated in Nigeria and the UK, Prof. Osinbajo is a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, who has served in many organizations and professional bodies in Nigeria, West Africa, Africa and the United Nations. He has authored or edited over a dozen publications, has taught and practised law at the high levels, and has served on the Editorial Boards of learned publications and non-legal publications, in addition to publishing many articles in learned journals.

''Now that we have presented Nigerians with the best possible choices for the exalted positions of President and Vice President, we expect that citizens, who have been yearning for quality leadership, will use their voting power to put Nigeria firmly on the path of greatness. A country seeking to be among the greats in the comity of nations cannot afford to have a mediocre leadership,'' the party said.

This is very good and commendable.

I like the way tempting 'problems' are being mitigated in the APC.

If Amaechi truly accepted this role, that means he bears no grudges against the party or its leaders and has looked beyond personal benefit to the larger picture of the collective good of the party and Nigerians.

APC truly impressing me by their every action

God bless Nigeria

shame and painment to all the PDP that were fasting, praying and expecting APC to implode because of Osinbajo. Amaechi's mature handling of it all has put a spanner in the wheel of their anticipated diabolical celebrations. APC folks are truly and really ready for change and that change for the better is here

GMB/Osinbajo for aso rock

Wow! Congratulations to Amaechi, the DRIVER-GENERAL of APC kabukabu.

Started from the bottom...





Now we're here!

His influence in the party seem to be immense can't be ignored.

Amaechi the APC wallet/ATM

His influence in the party seem to be immense can't be ignored.

Not his influence, they need his money

There is a role for everybody in the APC, welcome our incoming Secretary to the Federal Government .

The sacrifice N nationalistic tendencies of each and every leader in the APC is worthy of commendation and will forever be remembered in the annals of our country.

From Tinubu to Amaechi to Atiku to Kwankwaso to okorocha to the unsung heroes like udoedeghe in Akwa Ibom, the candidates who stepped down for gemade, tambuwal, ortom in Benue, and many others, the party and history will forever be fair on you.

The race to get PDP out of the centre isn't a mere walk in the park, it takes sacrifice and commitment to the course and one feel so happy the way things are falling in place without any cry of disappointment.

Long live the progressives, this party has really shown what it takes to be a political party.

I personally believe pple saying Ameachi was robbed are just uninformed pple that have internet by chance.

A keen follower of the countrys affairs should know that the motivation driving Ameachi, asides for the progress of the country, is to see Jonathan leave Aso rock, the guy has thrown enough stones at Jonathan, Jonathan on the other hand has tried everything within his power to dethrone Ameachi. But Ameachi being a grassroot politician, that knows the intricacies of politics has shown this overtime inspite of Federal might battling him...from Legislative war to Judicial war.

This has made him to rely on immunity.. thus when he leaves, Jonathan has to leave, if not he will be pounced on.

Nigerian politics is not 1+1 for small children...stop turning Nairaland commentary pages on politics to Primary school page.




Mr. Progressive

Kai. You beat me to it. Driver General of APC. Dis na big political appointment o.

Compensation

It is only a fool that will see both choices of APC and would still foolishly vote for PDP. This is a clear signal that APC is going to blow what i call hurricane CHANGE. Rotimi, We reasonable Niger Deltans are solidly behind you. Next Secretary to the Federal Government or Petroleum minister

votes secured in the North, secured in the SW, and SS . I dont know of the majority that blindly support Mr Clueless. Quite a number of them are still reasonable, like berem, cleverly et all

na wa oo

congrats to hım

I sure Buhari will be our next president...bad luck to Jonathan your name won't work for you in 2015

Good for him sha

May you succeed in this new venture. Even those who defend this administration know that this government cannot be defended without hurting their conscience.

This government has literally brought Nigeria to her knees. Nigeria is begging to be rescued.

Amaechi and the rest might not be saints, but I am convinced that we need a new set of hands to run this beleaguered nation.

After almost 16 years, it is obvious that the PDP is taking us nowhere other than the rocks. Let us help this new set of leaders to succeed.

Amaechi was not betrayed by APC and I'm quite sure he doesn't feel betrayed. But saTANoids cannot but cry more than the bereaved.

I am sure Buhari will be our next president...bad luck to Jonathan your name won't work for you in 2015

Rotimi is highly fit for the job... Good choice APC.

APC get sense sha..chaii..great planning.
one tin is sure,2015 election would be the 1st election ever experienced in this country others were just mere formalities...and it would reincarnate and nurture our already dead democracy.

#it either there would be no country called nigeria or there would be a better nigeria after 2015
