The South-South Progressive Vanguard has called on the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to consider the Rivers state governor, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi for the Vice Presidential slot of the party in the upcoming 2015 presidential elections.
The group made this call in a statement signed by its coordinator, Comrade Frank Wilfred Ogbotobo saying the governor deserves the position due to his “real, matured and fulfilling political activism” as entrenched in the values of APC.
“Governor Rotimi Amaechi has demonstrated steadfastness, dogged commitment and loyalty to his tested convictions including the political will to face intimidating challenges and daunting decisions, all of which have endeared him to the oppressed masses of the S/South.
“As chairman of the Nigerian Governor’s Forum, Governor Amaechi has proven his leadership acumen and capacity to build the necessary bridges urgently required to fashion a new Nigeria on the foundations of equity, justice and true federalism which, we believe, would subsequently guarantee a revolutionary transformation of the Niger Delta region,” the statement said.
