The Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has denied reports that he has intension to run for the post of Nigerian’s number two citizen in 2015.
Speaking to journalists in Port Harcourt, Governor Amaechi said he is still focus in the business of achieving set developmental goals in Rivers State rather than getting busy for 2015.
He said, “2015, i have no plans. I am exhausted and too busy for that. I heard in the North that there are vehicles campaigning with my pictures and that of Sule Lamido. Lamido has even called me to ask who these people are, because i don’t know them. Weather we should go and seize these vehicles because since we have our pictures there, it means they belongs to us. People are already panicking that i’m coming for 2015. I have not attended any meeting anywhere in the world concerning this issue, so people should stop carrying rumours about it.”
Amaechi also warned that if the Rivers State oil wells are being taken away because of political reason, it should be returned to the State.
According to him “please write to those people taking our oil wells to leave them alone that it doesn’t belong to me Amaechi, it belongs to the Rivers people and that the future of Rivers people should not be tied to 2015.”
The River State Governor described the reports of his quest for the vice President with his counterpart, Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido as a rumour and a “non-issue” as he has no interest in it.
