Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi
The All Progressives Congress
(APC), Rivers state chapter, has expressed gratitude to Nigerians for
the exceptional support expressed towards the state’s former governor, Rotimi Amaechi, whose ministerial nomination was, at last, confirmed by the Senate on Thursday, October 22.
Amaechi had been a topic of debate in the Nigeria’s political sphere since President Muhammadu Buhari nominated him as a minister in his cabinet.
Hues
of petitions to stop him from being confirmed by the Upper Chamber
failed on Thursday, as his screening, which had stalled for weeks,
eventually went through successfully.
In a statement signed by the APC spokesman in Rivers, Chris Finebone,
the party assured that Amaechi would be committed to the interest of
the masses as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Again,
we would like to state that we are overwhelmed by the outpouring of
love and recognition for the former governor by all shades of the
Nigerian populace and would like to assure everyone that Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi would continue to identify and fight for the
interest of the ordinary Nigerian even as he becomes a Minister in the
cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari” the statement assured.
