Rivers State Chapter of the APC has declared President Muhammadu Buhari
and Transportation Minister, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as Nigeria’s Men of
the Year 2015 in recognition of their roles in bringing about a new
political order in the country.
“While it is true that many other chieftains and even ordinary members
of APC contributed in various ways to the party’s takeover of power from
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), General Buhari served as the
rallying point and the poster boy of the promised change,”
Rivers APC said in a statement signed by the Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, on Tuesday.
On Amaechi, the party said: “He practically put his life on the line to
lead the infant APC in his capacity as Director General of the Buhari
Presidential Campaign Organisation, to defeat PDP despite that corrupt
party’s virtually emptying the national treasury in its desperate bid to
retain power, which it had held for 16 disastrous years.”
Rivers APC said that Amaechi also proved to be made of sterner stuff by
surviving the wicked machinations of Chief Nyesom Wike and his cohorts
to be screened and sworn-in as a minister, noting that this is not a
mean feat.
