Govonor Amachi says the cause of Nigeria's Problem is PDP

 

Could this be the solution to Nigeria's problem?Well the Rivers State Governor,  Chibuike Amaechi, has reiterated that the way to solve the problems facing the country is to vote out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015 general elections.

Amaechi stated this at the second International Conference on Democracy and Good Governance with the theme: ‘Nigeria’s Democracy: Issues and Challenges’, held at the new Dr. Obi Wali Convention Centre in Port Harcourt.

He maintained that something was wrong with Nigeria, and that the solution  would be to ensure that the present administration was removed irrespective of the person’s geo-political zone.

His words: “Vote out those who have kept us inside this kind of situation. Vote them out whether they are from Niger Delta or from Southern Delta or from whatever Delta. We need to vote them out now and change Nigeria.

“We need to change Nigeria now and that is what APC offers and that is what I stand for. If you are not satisfied the way Nigeria is being governed now, it means that they should not be given another chance.  If you are not satisfied that there is corruption and corruption is called ‘common stealing,’ if you are not satisfied with that, vote them out.
“It is not about salaries of National Assembly members or salaries of the executive. In a country where a minister would buy over 15, 20 cars and invite the President to come because he wants to give out the cars to his supporters and they sent a representative of the President to be there; how else are we supporting corruption?  Why have we not asked the minister, where did he or she get the money to buy these cars and why was the minister not locked up and sacked from the cabinet?”
He stated that there was impunity to stealing in the country, accusing Nigerians of encouraging the vices in the society because nobody asked how the leaders made their money.
“All of you are responsible for what is happening to Nigeria and you are responsible because you voted them into power. You are responsible because you are condoning what is happening.  Nigerians must rise now,” he said.
Amaechi bemoaned the worsening security situation in the country, stressing that it was the duty of the government in power to protect the lives and property of the citizens.
According to him, true democracy was not practised in the country because votes did not  count.
