The lesson in my story is that all Nigerians must have part of my spirit which is resistance,” Governor Rotimi Amaechi yesterday told dignitaries that gathered for his 50th anniversary at a lecture in Port-Harcourt.
It was indeed fitting that in the epic struggle by rivals of President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2015 presidential election, that they found a fitting mould in the person of Governor Rotimi Amaechi to lead the fight against the titanic Peoples Democratic Party, PDP which had projected itself to lead the country for 60 years in the first instance.
The choice of Amaechi to lead the presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress, APC was indeed helped by his own past struggles in the trenches outside government. Even in government, his populist crusades for the enthronement of an egalitarian society that have seen rich and poor in Rivers State access the same standards of education and healthcare were indicators of a rebel in Government House.
