2019 election: Amaechi speaks on ‘preferred APC candidate’

Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation, has spoken on imposition of candidates ahead of the 2019 governorship election.

The former Rivers State Governor said he has no preferred candidates among APC members who want to be next governor of the state.

He made the disclosure while meeting Kalabari leaders of the party from Asari-Toru, Akuku-Toru and Degema local governments in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Amaechi promised to ensure a level-playing field during APC primary election.

“Believe me, I have no preferred candidate. When the time comes, we will hold a free and fair primary election,” he said.

“Whoever wins, his/her allegiance should be to the party faithful.

“Most politicians at my level have shifted their attention to national politics. 2019 is not about me, it is about you.”
