Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has revealed why he won’t be backing any All Progressive Congress, APC presidential aspirant from the north.<\/p>\n

Lalong said his support is fully for former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, stating that Amaechi had contributed immensely to the state in no small measure and would receive full support from Plateau leaders, including former Speakers of the House of Assembly, and current state lawmakers.<\/p>\n

The governor stated this during Amaechi’s visit to the state to woo delegates ahead of the All Progressive Congress, APC primaries.<\/p>\n

Lalong was quoted in a statement as saying, \u201cAmaechi<\/a> has all the qualities of a good leader, and would save the country from its insecurity problems, as well as bring development to all parts of the country, adding that Plateau State has benefited a lot from Amaechi and it\u2019s payback time.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Lalong stressed that Amaechi had all it takes to tackle insecurity in the country. He said Ameachi had relationships with the security experts and the former security chiefs and would engage them.<\/p>\n

He recalled that Ameachi helped party chieftains in the northern states, especially Plateau State, to join and register with the APC. He also said that the former minister spoke for the state at the Federal Executive Council meetings whenever it needed the urgent intervention and approvals from the Presidency.<\/p>\n

\u201cSir, you invested in Plateau State, that is why you are going to reap in Plateau State. We came back, we had security issues, you were our minister. For most of the approvals you saw from the President, it was this man (Amaechi) that was pushing for us. Amaechi was our minister, not minding that he is from Rivers State. We got almost everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lalong disclosed that he received ample support for his re-election bid from Ameachi, He also said \u201cThey mentioned railway, but you brought Shipper\u2019s Council to us, you restored back our inland container to us, so many things that you did. As I\u2019m talking, the first set of people you took to China, seven of them are Plateau boys, and very soon they are coming back as experts in engineering. We can go on and on.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had already taken a decision; all former members of the Houses of Assembly took a decision that wherever you go, we would follow you. So, if you calculate the number of former Speakers that we have in Nigeria, I think you already have 30 per cent votes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
