If APC loses in 2019: ”Nigeria will go 10 steps backwards if APC loses in 2019” Rotimi Amaechi says
Nigeria will go 10 steps backwards if APC loses the 2019 presidential election. This is according to the Minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi. The former Rivers state governor and former director of campaign for President Buhari in the 2015 election, said this when he spoke with newsmen in Abuja today.
For any reason we lose election, you the young ones are taking yourselves and Nigeria 10 steps backwards because the elites who left to through PDP are waiting in the wind. Are we perfect? No. No human is perfect. Are there mistakes? Yes. There is no human being who doesn’t make mistake. Are we on course? Yes. Are the challenges daunting? Yes. Are we going to overcome them? Yes. I hope Nigerians remember that by the time we came, we were borrowing money to pay salaries. I hope you people remember that we are not paying money to pay salaries, we are using our money. If we are not borrowing to pay salaries, it means we are generating our own money. I hope Nigerians remember under the past government oil was at 110, 120. But when we came oil was $58. The highest that we have gotten is the mistake that happened in the last two weeks that it rose to 70 or 80 after one day it came down to 50-something, instantly.” he said
