The former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has said he would support whoever President Muhammadu Buhari will be chosen as anointed candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 presidential election.
Amaechi, who is the Minister of Transportation and APC presidential aspirant disclosed this on Saturday during a meeting with executives, delegates and another party faithful in Rivers State.
The minister said in his bid to become the country’s President he was neither desperate nor disloyal.
Amaechi said: “Loyalty is not when you are not chosen, you become disloyal, loyalty means you follow the man that leads you and you have surrendered to his leadership.
“If you don’t follow, it means you are not loyal, you are only benefitting from the man politically and economically. The day he’s not able to give you that economic reality, is the day you become disloyal.
“I am a very loyal person and those who are disloyal, I wish them well, those who want to do whatever they want to do, I wish them well.
“We will run for the election and I am loyal to the President and I am loyal to the party.
”If the party says it is me, thank God. If the party says it is not me, whoever the party chooses, I will support.
“If the party and President choose anybody, I will support the person, if the party chooses me, I will be glad and say thank God.”
