Nigerians have been assured by the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the former state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, will deliver as the Minister of Transport.
The party, in a statement issued by the media aide to the state chairman of the APC, Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, said the former governor has a track record of performing greatly.
“We wish to assure Mr President and all Nigerians that Amaechi, who has a track record of performance, will deliver even beyond expectations if given the necessary cooperation,” Ikanya said in the statement.
Rivers APC called Amaechi’s attention to some of the most pressing problems that deserve his attention, stating that Amaechi is assuming office as Minister of Transport at a time when the Port Harcourt International Airport is rated as the worst in the world and the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, the seventh worst on the African continent, while the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, is ranked 10th worst on the continent.
“This is not acceptable to us and we wish that Amaechi quickly corrects this shameful anomaly imposed on us by the immediate past visionless administration of Dr Goodluck Jonathan and his misguided Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,” the party said.
Continuing, the party said: “Amaechi is coming in as the Transport Minister at a time when the railway system is moribund and the maritime sector in a chaotic state. We know what Amaechi is made of and we expect him not only to turn around the fortunes of the railways but also to do same to the maritime sector.”
The party appealed to all Rivers people and the entire Nigerian population to accord Minister Amaechi all the support and prayers he needs to enable him translate his magic wand exhibited at the state level to the national level for the benefit of all Nigerians. It equally congratulated the 35 other ministers and called on Nigerians to give them every needed cooperation to deliver and make Nigerians feel the positive change promised by APC.
