Amaechi finally speaks on Jonathan's defeat by Buhari

Rivers State governor and director-general of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, Rotimi Amaechi, has described the victory of the presidential candidate of the party, General Muhamadu Buhari, as the handiwork of God to bring change in the leadership of the country.

The governor thanked Nigerians and APC faithful for their collective efforts in voting Buhari and gave the assurance that the president-elect will run a transparent and accountable government that will move the nation to greater heights.

Amaechi spoke upon his arrival in Port Harcourt where he was welcomed by APC chieftains:

“I attribute the victory of APC to the handiwork of God, and it is to effect change in the leadership of this country. I want to thank Nigerians and APC faithful for the various roles they played to lead the party to victory. Be assured that Buhari’s administration will run an accountable and transparent government and will take this nation to the next level.”

Amaechi, who is also the chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), enjoined Nigerians and all APC faithfuls to join him in congratulating the winner of the 2015 Presidential election, Buhari, and his running mate, Professor Osibanjo, on their victory at the polls.

Also speaking, the Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe, thanked the Almighty God for making it possible for Nigerians to know the truth in the face of wickedness, political high-handedness, and impunity by the military and the police against APC supporters in the state.

Abe said, “We don’t have anything to say than to tell Governor Amaechi thank you for making it possible for us to identify with the APC, which won the presidential election. The victory for Buhari has made us proud; Rivers people will now be free from wickedness, political high handedness, and impunity.”
