Rotimi Amaechi, a former minister of transportation, says delegates who sold their votes at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary are regretting their actions.

Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers state, polled 316 votes and was second in the exercise.

Bola Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos, clinched the ticket after securing over 1,000 votes.

Speaking over the weekend at an event to mark the 60th birthday of Eugene Ogu, general overseer of Abundant Life Evangel Mission in Port Harcourt, the Rivers capital, Amaechi said the “ordinary” citizen is the problem of the country.

The former minister said the prayer should be for Nigerians to vote for the right person to govern the country.

“I don’t believe that is the solution to Nigeria’s problem — giving money. I hope you know. I give you N10 million now and when it finishes, what happens? The solution to Nigeria’s problem is that all of you must rise,” he said.

“God should save the ordinary Nigerian, because they are the problem. Those who voted at the APC primary, who are they? The ordinary Nigerian. The small money they got solved their immediate problems.

“Now ‘oh we made a mistake’; ‘we didn’t make a mistake’. We are hearing different things. Pray for the leadership of the country, but also pray that ordinary Nigerians choose the right person to govern.”

He also spoke on the recent concerns raised over the identity of the clerics that attended the unveiling of Kashim Shettima as the APC vice-presidential candidate.

According to the former minister, the persons in questions are Christians.

“Those bishops you saw [Kashim Shettima’s unveiling ceremony], they may not be bishops, but they are Christians,” he said.

Even amaechi knows that tinubu was a wrong choice.

Advocate500:
So in reality, Tinubu is on his own?

tinsel:

How many votes can Amaechi deliver? He is angry because Tinubu is trying to bring Wike on board.

And Ameachi is still talking......

If it were to be Mortal Kombat, its a FLAWLESS victory.

Is that a "porting" language?

FreeStuffsNG:
He is sounding like someone in early retirement

Something is cooking in Rivers state and we will soon know.
Meanwhile, on the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.He is the best, the most brilliant and the most competent among all the candidates.

We will campaign with the sterling performance of Asiwaju in public service.

Sour loser.

Kenneth4u205:
In summary he simply saying that TINUBU is a wrong choice

They will blame anything but themselves! Now the delegates are to be blamed

Yet he (Amaechi) visited and identified with Tinubu after the primaries! Even promised to work for his victory! them think say we daft for this country

Forget! He is part of the problem!

Delegate or no delegate, his party has failed, them no fit screen/select credible representative

Them dey threaten ASUU, them say money no dey, bla bla bla, but we all saw the monies they all spent on forms

So Amaechi should just shut up and advise his party to take responsibility for their evil actions!

Being a christian, you Amaechi that accepted to be turbaned to win an election, what are you

You associated with your evil party, what are you a muslim

You are all pawn in the hands of the Fulanis! So abeg, no just talk!!!

PointZerom:


Bishop Agbadoola Cassavani bought the ticket but Amaechi got a clean vote.
You may win the argument but the consequences of this WICKEDNESS is unavoidable.
