Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, the Governor of Rivers State, has said President Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party are acutely afraid of the forthcoming general elections.
Amaechi, who is also the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation, stated this in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, during APC’s zonal campaign rally.
He said: “You know I used to be in PDP.
“For the first time, I can see real fear in their eyes.
“Even the President is afraid.
“You can see that everybody is now gentle because the game is up.
“The sad part is that the police are arresting us every day but all these will be over in two weeks.
“So far, over 30 members of APC have been killed in recent times.
“No day passes without the killing of one APC member or the other but they will account for all their atrocities.
“They cannot intimidate us forever.
“Let me tell you that my courage comes from knelling down, praying and asking God for strength.
“This time in South South and South East, we will not write results.
“We are going to vote and our votes will count and I am proud to be part of APC.
“You must vote and stay there because members of PDP are magicians.”
Amaechi described PDP as an atrocious party with unbelievable record of abuse and intimidation.
He also condemned the attack on his wife, Judith, by PDP members who waylaid her at Ahoada West during her campaign there.
Amaechi told the gathering that God has already told Nigerians who will be the next president but that person definitely is not Jonathan.
