The governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi has been appointed the role of Director General of the All Progressives Congress’ presidential campaign organization.
The development was communicated in a statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Lagos on Thursday, December 18.
According to the statement, Amaechi’s outstanding reputation as “a man of courage, principle, strength of character, decency and love of country, as well as his administrative prowess and organizational skills” are factors which earned him the position.
The statement said: “With a presidential candidate that has rekindled the hopes of the citizenry and revived their belief in democratic ideals, we believe we must also choose a running mate that will complement the sterling qualities of the presidential candidate. We must confess that the choice was a tough one, considering the array of eminently-qualified and outstanding candidates that we had to choose from.”
“Yes, we were spoilt for choice but, in the end, we picked as running mate a man whose pedigree, nationally, sub-regionally, regionally and globally, attests to the fact that our party, the APC, is a repository of high quality leadership materials, and that our country, Nigeria, has no shortage of the very best human resources.”
“APC said whether in the academic, legal or ecclesial world, Prof. Osinbajo stands much taller than his physical frame, and serves as a good accompaniment to our presidential candidate, himself a man of such rare sterling qualities that have stood the test of time, qualities that are now so sorely lacking in our country’s leadership,” the party added.
