Choice Of Amaechi As VP Is None Of Your Business - APC Replies PDP..

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Sunday asked the presidency to stop its obsession with the party’s internal decision processes and decisions.

In a statement by the spokesperson of the APC in Rivers State, Eze Chukwuemeka, on Sunday, the party reacted to a tweet by presidential aide, Doyin Okupe.

Okupe had on Thursday tweeted that a joint ticket involving APC’s presidential flag bearer, Muhammadu Buhari, and the Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as Vice President, would be a “fatal error”.



Responding, Chukwuemeka said “This is an issue that does not concern Dr Okupe, who is not a stakeholder in APC but the fact remains that if Buhari/Amaechi ticket is a fatal error then Jonathan/Sambo ticket is not only a disaster but an ectopic pregnancy that must be evacuated to save the life of the mother, in this case our nation.

“Anyone who fails an examination is asked to repeat; but when the failure is so dismal the person is asked to leave as Nigerians are asking President Jonathan and VP Sambo to leave as they have not only failed woefully but have endangered our nation to the extent that the need of Buhari/Amaechi ticket becomes imperative to save our nation from imminent extinction”, Mr. Eze said.

He also said Mr. Okupe’s comment is a sign of cowardice by the Presidency, “which lives in perpetual fear of Mr. Amaechi and has been having nightmares since news filtered out that Mr. Amaechi is in strong contention to emerge as Mr. Buhari’s running mate.”

The spokesman insisted that a Buhari/Amaechi ticket in 2015 was APC’s best bet of removing the PDP from power.

“With the myth surrounding Buhari, combined with the bravery and sagacity of Gov. Amaechi, PDP’s days in the Aso Presidential Villa will surely become history by 2015.
