Northern Community Supports Amaechi, APC

The Northern Commu
nity in Rivers State has thrown its weight behind the Rivers State Governor, Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Co-ordinator of Northern Community in Rivers State, Alhaji Tanko Yusuf, gave the indication while addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt, recently.
According to him, the northern community would not only support Governor Amaechi, but would also support the state chapter of the APC to win the 2015 general elections.
Alhaji Yusuf who described Amaechi as a God-sent leader to liberate the people of Rivers State, said the governor has done well not only for Rivers people, but the entire human race living in the state.
He disclosed that the Northern community and other non-indigenes resident in the state have benefitted from the free educational programme, good healthcare, good roads and other infrastructural programmes initiated by Amaechi’s administration.
“We, the non-indigenes, have benefitted. For the very first time, we have been given a sense of belonging in Rivers State,” he said.
The Northern community leader also described the just concluded visit of the former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as unique and symbolic as it signaled the beginning of a new vista in the political fortunes of the governor.
