Minister of Transportation and presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Rotimi Amaechi has said he will remain loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC whether he wins the party’s ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
He said this during a consultative meeting with executives, delegates and other party faithful at the Rivers State APC Secretariat on Friday, according to a statement from the minister’s media office.
He stressed that in his bid to become the President of Nigeria, he is neither desperate nor disloyal.
Amaechi said it was sad that many politicians never understood the concept of loyalty.
He said,
“Loyalty is not when you are not chosen, you become disloyal; loyalty means you follow the man that leads you. I am a very loyal person and those who are disloyal, I wish them well; those who want to do whatever they want to do, I wish them well.
“The opportunity will be given to everybody; we will run this presidential election; we will run, and I am loyal to the president and I am loyal to the party. If the party says it is me, thank God. If the party says it is not me, whoever the party chooses, I will support. If the party and the president chooses anybody, I will support the person; if the party chooses me, I will be glad and say thank God,” Amaechi said.
