Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed his loyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC in his bid to run for the office of the President of Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-content collapsible zoom-normal mail-show-images \" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"clear\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amaechi spoke during a consultative meeting with executives, delegates and other party faithful at the Rivers State APC Secretariat on Friday, indicating that in his bid to become the President of Nigeria which he is thoroughly qualified for, he is neither desperate nor disloyal.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amaechi explained that it is sad that many politicians do not understand the concept of loyalty. \u201cLoyalty is not when you are not chosen, you become disloyal, loyalty means you follow the man that leads you, that you have surrendered to his leadership. If you don\u2019t follow, it means you are not loyal, you are only benefitting from the man politically and economically. The day he\u2019s not able to give you that economic reality, is the day you become disloyal.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cLet me tell you something about loyalty. In 2007, we were in a meeting and somebody asked me if Dr. Peter Odili (former Governor of Rivers State) says you will not run for the office of governor, what will you do? I said I will surrender and support whoever he brings. We fought the battle for me to be Governor because Dr. Odili called me and said \u2018go to court,\u2019 if not we had met as a group and said we would stand by his choice. But he called me and said \u2018\u2026go to court.\u2019<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cI 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. 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. If the Party and President chooses anybody, I will support the person, if the party chooses me, I will be glad and say thank God,\u201d Amaechi said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">On his part, Chairman of the APC in Rivers State, Chief Emeka Beke, assured Amaechi of the party\u2019s support and votes in the presidential primaries.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cSir, go home and sleep, Rivers delegates will vote for you, and I know my brothers who are statutory delegates will vote for you, because all of us seated here today from Rivers State have benefitted from you, from your leadership and this is the time to pay you back. We will stand with you.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cLet me use this opportunity to thank our brothers from other States, who have stood by our leader Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, I thank all of you. God Almighty will stand with you as you have chosen to stand by him.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cBut one thing I will tell you is that our leader is a man of one word. When he says yes, his yes is yes, when he says no, his no is no, and I know that he\u2019s a man that will not forget all of you that stood by him. By the grace of God you will be the presidential flag bearer, I will be the chairman that will produce Mr President, I will be the Chairman that will produce the Governor of Rivers State,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amaechi also visited the Paramount ruler of Rebisi Kingdom in Port Harcourt, Eze Victor Woluchem, who expressed delight over the Minister of Transportation\u2019s decision to run for the office of President in 2023.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Eze Woluchem said, \u201cYou are our son in whom we are well pleased. On behalf of the traditional rulers here present, we welcome you to your home. This is not only your home, but it is also your pride and joy, because you once served here as a governor who looked out for Rivers people, your people.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cYour excellency, Rivers State loves you for a reason. Your developmental projects have impacted and continue to impact our people and are all over the State for people to see.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cI might not be able to enumerate all that you have done for this country. Nationally, as Minister of Transportation, you have put Nigeria on the map as a country with modern railway system, with modern Seaport and facilities to enhance our waterways and the industrialisation that comes with it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIndeed the history of this State will be incomplete without the mention of your name. Nigerians are excited over the likely possibility of a Rotimi Amaechi presidency. You are indeed a champion among equals, therefore there is no doubt that you are the right person to take over the mantle of the leadership of this great nation come 2023\u201d, the Monarch said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presidential aspirant on the Platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rt Hon.
