APC Vows To Produce Amaechi’s Successor

Leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has vowed to produce the successor of Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi in the state come 2015
The Treasurer of the State APC, Mr Abinye Alex Hart who made the vow at the inauguration of the National Youth Coalition (NYC) of the party, in Port Harcourt, said that the next APC governor will continue with the good works of Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
Hart urged members of the  coalition to be focused and continue to work for the success of the party, pointing out that the era of change has come to Rivers State.
The APC treasurer assured that the leadership of the party in the state would continue to work hard towards incorporating into its fold all groups that have  the same aspiration with the APC.
In his speech, the APC legal adviser, South, Barrister Vincent Chukwu  said that the party will work for its success at all levels of governance in the state.
“I believe that the people that formed APC wants a true leadership. The administration of Governor Amaechi meant well for the people. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has failed our country especially in Rivers State. It is unfortunate that PDP has denied us our money with hope that our state will crumble” the state civil servants will go hungry and our children will starve. Happy enough, our governor is standing for the truth and the truth will prevail at the fullness of time, he said.
Also speaking, the National co-ordinator of NYC, Abdul Fatah S. Olalaye, said that Nigeria has the worst record of unemployed youths today and this necessitated why the group is advocating for change.
“What have we gained from the government for the past years? Enough of this umbrella people who have been governing us. We are working for the APC to bring change into the polity come 2015,” Olalaye said.
The co-ordinator also noted that the number of people that have died within the past four years is more than the number of people that died during the Nigeria civil war.
Deputy Southern Coordinator of NYC, Morris Tenor Joe said that other ethnic groups should be given chance at the governorship of the state pointing out that Ikwerre has taken a shot at the governance of the state.
“Any ethnic group could be given the chance to govern Rivers State. After Diette Spiff, Amaechi is the next governor that has performed credibly. I believe the next APC governor will consolidate Amaechi performance”,  he said.
