Amaechi Says Buhari Will Force Change On Everyone

Rivers State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) Rt.

Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi says the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Presidential flag bearer, General Muhammadu Buhari will instill discipline
and uprightness on corrupt public officials in the country if he wins this
year’s Presidential election.

Governor Amaechi who is also the Director General of Muhammadu Buhari
Campaign Organization said, corruption will disappear in Nigeria
particularly in government ministries if Muhammadu Buhari is elected
President of Nigeria.

Governor Amaechi spoke on Wednesday when he performed the swearing in of
nine new Permanent Secretaries at the Council Chambers of Government
House, Port Harcourt.

Those sworn-in are Amieyefori Joseph, Marcus Anga, Samuel Egbe and Dagogo
Heart. Others are Mrs A. E. Petito, Augustine Orlu Orlu, Sam Woka,
Kingsley Hart and Mrs. Ibaniba Abella Briggs.

Amaechi said, Nigerians were tired of the PDP leadership under President
Goodluck Jonathan, hence the need for change.

“We were sharing some discussions in the bus in the cause of our campaign.
The President and the PDP never knew that there will be a time like this
in Nigeria when Nigerians will be asking for change, not because of APC or
Amaechi but because they are tired of what is going on, no matter the lies
you tell, Nigerians just want change any type of change they want it. It
could be change for the better, it could be change even for the worse but
they certainly want change”, he said.

He urged the newly sworn in Permanent Secretaries to see their appointment
as a call to service delivery.

“In the same manner, the civil servant and Nigeria cannot continue to be
the way it is going. So if you think you would continue to collect money
and continue to do things the way you like one day you will just wake up
and consider that people will start chasing you around and you will be
wondering why you are being chased”.

“Don’t be one of those Permanent Secretaries that history will have on the
wrong side of the society. If you don’t want to serve please resign
because it comes with challenges. Just imagine the days when J. E. Amadi
was a Permanent Secretary, now Permanent Secretaries have houses
everywhere, estates they have built for themselves and busy sharing money.
You better change because the Buhari’s government will force change on
everybody. I hope you listened to him (Buhari), he is not talking about
EFCC, he said there are rules of the civil service. If we obey those rules
corruption will seize. If we all run government by those rules then we
will have a better country. Let me congratulate you on behalf of the
state government”, he said.
