I Would Have Suffered If
Buhari Didn ’ t Win – Amaechi

Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi has
stated that he knew life would have been
difficult for him if the All Progressives
Congress, APC, hadn’t won the presidential
election.
Amaechi made the statement in Lagos,
yesterday, during the public presentation of a
book titled “Dynamics of Change: The
Amaechi Years” which is the compilation of
his achievements a governor.
“I knew I was going to be in trouble. Anything
that would cause that change not to take
place, I was ready to make that sacrifice. The
federal government sent out a signal that if
they won nobody should let me out of Nigeria
from any airport.
One day Asiwaju got angry with me. He was
very angry. I went to his house with Mallam
Nasir El-Rufai and knelt down, saying ‘please
let’s not disagree, let’s win first and then we
can disagree.
“I told Asiwaju that what is important is to
make a history of the first civilian coup in
Nigeria when your children and grandchildren
read the history with your name as one of
the people who helped bring about change in
Nigeria.
I said, let us focus on the victory. I remember
the day of the convention, there were so
many intrigues, there will be convention,
there won’t be convention, I said my leader,
if we don’t do the convention we are finished,
the press will say APC cannot hold a
convention, lead us now, there must be
convention and election. So, he turned to me
and said look for Tunde (Fashola), let us go.”
