The Minister of Transportation and foremost chieftain of the
ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has warned the party of making the same
mistake of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The former Rivers State Governor spoke with reporters during
the APC National Convention in Abuja on Saturday where he also revealed that
the other five candidates running for the party’s Chairmanship seat stepped
down for Abdullahi Adamu because they felt he was the best candidate to lead
the party at this point.
Amaechi said the PDP, his former political party, never knew
they will be in the opposition today, believing that no matter what happened
they’ll be in power forever
He warned that this is one big mistake APC must avoid in
order not to land in the opposition too, accusing the PDP of having refused to
listen to Nigerians.
On why the other candidates stepped down for Adamu, Amaechi
said, “They seem to have agreed that Abdullahi, I won’t say is better, but is
first among equals.
“They have agreed he will be the best Chairman for now that
would lead the party in confronting the opposition. You know it’s good to hear
that PDP is in opposition. They never knew they’ll be opposition. That’s the
reality of party politics.
“The APC too must be prepared to make sure we’re not In the
opposition like PDP. PDP never assumed they’ll be in opposition.
“They believed that no matter what happened they’ll be in
power forever. And unfortunate for them, they were not listening to Nigerians.
“But as a party, APC is listening, we’re hearing, we know
they’re complaining and the President is addressing those complaints so that
things will change.”
