ABUJA – Rivers State governor and Director-
General of the All Progressives Congress
Presidential campaign Organization, APCPCO, Mr.
Chibuike Ameachi has said that the APC would
make a difference in the political governance of
Nigeria.
He added that where the ruling People’s Democratic
Party, PDP has failed, APC would succeed having
learnt from the outside.
This was even as the national publicity secretary of
APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said that the integrity of
the presidential candidate, General Mohammad
Buhari won the vote for APC.
Both men spoke with Journalists at the national
secretariat of APC amid excitement of an
anticipated victory Buhari
Ameachi further stated that APC would be
magnanimous in victory.
He said: “We will be magnanimous in victory
because the challenges are much. It is not only
about celebration of victory, it is about seriousness
of governance and we must show the different
between us and the current government. If we say
there was incompetence, we must show
competence.
“If we say there was corruption, we must show that
we will not be corrupt. If we say that people were
denied of their basic right, we must protect their
rights. If we say there was impunity, we must
govern by the rule of law, and once we show that
Nigerians will see the different between us and the
current government.”
When asked to explain what the victory meant to
him, Ameachi said: “Quiet a lot. As the Director-
General of the campaign, it is good to me.
I will begin to tell my children that for the first time
in the history of Nigeria, the opposition party was
able to root out the government in power and the
party in power by presenting a different picture of
what life looks like for giving the people the courage
to confront the current government and confront
what was going on.
“Confront corruption, confront the reality of the fact
that Nigerians are hungry, that they don’t go to
market as Nigerians do, they have the kind of fund
and can eat the kind of food they want and
Nigerians are hungry, to let Nigerians know that
Boko Haram was not about religion alone but there
was poverty and hunger and we have to deal with
education and the issue of unemployment in the
North and also in the south, and to also make
people realise that religion is not an issue in
Nigeria.”
Also speaking, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said “Buhari’s
strong personality, character and integrity, his anti-
corruption stance for which he has been known for
so many years now, helped to make this victory
easier for us.
“We would have lost woefully. Buhari made our
victory very easy. He is a major factor in the land
mark victory. It has never happened that an
incumbent is defeated in a national election”.
