Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said that the delegates who sold their votes at the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary are regretting their actions.
He said that the money will only be enough to solve their immediate needs.
Amaechi polled 316 votes against Bola Tinubu who polled 1,000 votes.
The former Rivers State governor who spoke at the 60th birthday of Eugene Ogu, general overseer of Abundant Life Evangel Mission in Port Harcourt said that the problem of Nigeria is not the politicians but the “ordinary” citizen.
Amaechi also said that the prayer should be for Nigerians to vote for the right person to govern the country.
“I don’t believe that is the solution to Nigeria’s problem — giving money. I hope you know. I give you N10 million now and when it finishes, what happens? The solution to Nigeria’s problem is that all of you must rise,” he said.
“God should save the ordinary Nigerian, because they are the problem. Those who voted at the APC primary, who are they? The ordinary Nigerian. The small money they got solved their immediate problems.
“Now ‘oh we made a mistake’; ‘we didn’t make a mistake’. We are hearing different things. Pray for the leadership of the country, but also pray that ordinary Nigerians choose the right person to govern.”
