Amaechi: God used Buhari, Senate to scatter Wike’s evil plans – APC

Amaechi

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has described the confirmation of the immediate past Governor of the State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as a Minister by the Senate as a victory over the forces of darkness.

“These dark forces as represented by Caretaker Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, went to absurd lengths in their plot to stop Amaechi from becoming a Minister but Almighty God has used President Muhammadu Buhari and the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to scatter their evil plans,” Rivers APC said in the statement signed by the Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya and issued Thursday in the State capital, Port Harcourt.

The party noted that, “29th October, 2015, will remain a great milestone in the annals of Rivers State when against all odds, centering around the mischievous propaganda by enemies of the State led by the impostor Governor Nyesom Wike, the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria confirmed one of the best sons of Rivers State, Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as a Minister despite the sinister petitions against him by misguided enemies of Rivers State.”

“Today, we have come to understand that truly God is with Amaechi and none of the plots by his enemies can have any impact in his life if the meanings of his names are anything to go by – Chibuike, which means ‘God is all Powerful’ and Rotimi, an abridged version of Oluwadurotimi, meaning ‘the Lord stands by me’, while Amaechi means ‘who knows tomorrow?’ plays a lot in most of the actions of this patriotic, an enigma, the Lion of Niger Delta Politics, the Pillar and embodiment of the change mantra in the politics of Nigeria and a true son of God.

“The Eighth Senate has by this action proved that they are not only patriotic and nationalist but also that they cannot allow petty politics to becloud their sense of reasoning as they seek to accomplish the onerous task of building a virile, vibrant, united and strong Nigeria.”

Rivers APC said Buhari and the Senate have disappointed “the very enemies of Rivers who by their devilish acts painted Rivers State and her people as ingrates who have no regard and respect for her leaders.”

The party pleaded with Nigerians not to judge Rivers people by the vindictive actions of Wike and his cohorts as Rivers State and her people are good-natured and great people.

“Wike has done everything humanly possible to bring down Amaechi, who made him politically. He has been put to shame along with his collaborators, especially Senator Thompson Sekibo.

“They should not only bury their faces in shame but should also apologise to Nigerians for their failed coup against their benefactor,” the party said.

It declared that Wike and his co-travelers have formally buried their political careers as they have proved that they are the greatest enemies of Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole.

APC said that to show practical appreciation to God, the party has set in motion machinery for thanksgiving services to God for shaming the enemies of Rivers State and upholding his son at this critical time.
