The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has asked members of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State to vote for the candidate of the African Action Congress, Awara Biokpomabo, in Saturday’s governorship election.
The APC cannot participate in the election as a result of court orders that nullified its primaries.
According to Amaechi, the government of the AAC, founded by SaharaReporters’ publisher, Omoyele Sowore, who was also its presidential candidate, had a lot of good in store for the people.
He said, “This morning, the leadership of the party met and agreed that we would work with a party called African Action Congress (AAC), while we are still in court to reclaim our mandate,” he said.
“So, on Saturday, we will vote for AAC. You must go home and vote for AAC. There should be no excuse not to vote, because there will be security for everybody. You must prepare and make sure you win the governorship election.
“The moment the governorship election is won by AAC’s candidate this Saturday and the new governor is inaugurated on May 29, 2019, by June this year, there will be local government’s chairmanship and councillorship elections.
“So, you should all go out and vote and make sure that you are not rigged out.”
