Rivers re-run: All APC members are God-fearing – Ameachi insists

Ahead of the weekend’s Senatorial re-run election in Rivers State, the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has revealed that all members of the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, are God-fearing.

Speaking with Channels TV, Ameachi said APC members are God-fearing including the 1,029,102 million who voted for the party in the 2015 governorship election in the state.

He said, “I wish you knew me very well. I hate violence. One thing I fear about life is that it is irreplaceable, so one thing you must do if you follow me is that you must not own a gun, you must not own a machete except for purpose of agriculture, and you must not own a knife. So you can’t work with me and carry weapon.

“Don’t forget, when I was governor, over 100 persons were killed in the 2015 election and we named them. There is a book written on that; we named them, their families and locations. Are you now saying that as governor, I couldn’t have brought out money for my people to buy weapons?”

“Those who follow me directly carry weapons, those are my security.

“But if you talk about followership in terms of politics, yes, one qualification you will have is that you must be God-fearing; you have no business being with me if you are not God-fearing.”

“You must be God-fearing to be in the APC.”
