Amaechi Says Money won’t be Deciding Factor in 2015 Elections
Rivers state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi has stated that money and financial gains will not win the 2015 general elections as it had no effect in the party primaries.
Governor Amaechi made this statement on Tuesday as a guest on ‘Sunrise Daily’ on Channels Television.
He said: “General Buhari won the APC primary without money. Nigerians are now wiser. They can’t be deceived with money or any material thing. This election will not be based on money, if it is to be based on money, President Jonathan would win the election.
“There is no difference between the pocket of the Federal Government, the pocket of President Jonathan and the pocket of PDP. It is the stealing at the national level that led us to where we are now. We can’t continue in a nation where N2.3 trillion was stolen and nothing was done.
“If PDP wins the Presidential election in a free and fair situation, we in the APC are not like what they are calling us, our leaders are responsible, we will congratulate President Jonathan. But if they use military against us and rig the election, we will not take them to court, we too will take illegal action against them because what they have done too is illegal.”
He also insisted that the APC will not resort to violence or breakdown of law and order in the country as they don’t intend to let social injustice prevail.
