This election is about your stomach not your brother- Gov Amaechi tells Rivers state residents

While campaigning for APC at the
Degema Obonoma and Abonnema
communities in Degema and Akuku-Toru
Local governm
ent area of Rivers state
yesterday March 3rd, Gov Rotimi
Amaechi was quoted as saying to the
people to vote for their stomach and
not because their brother, President
Jonathan was in the race to be re-
elected as President.
"This election is not about brother,
it is about your stomach. If dollar
likes, it can get to N300 or N400
to a dollar, the President can
afford it but you can’t afford it.
Now they tried everything
possible to stop the dollar from
losing control. They couldn’t
because the economy will
determine whether the dollar will
lose control or not and the
economy has done that already.
Another one is fuel. They have
done everything possible to pay
for fuel. They can’t pay. The
money is not there. Now, there is
fuel crisis.
If they win, they will abandon you
completely because they have no
solution to the problems. The first
solution to the problems is a new
government. Are we going to win?
The answer is yes. We have not
started campaign. We will start
campaign by the end of this week.
We will see the crowd again that
will frighten the president.
Nigerians want change. Things
have got to change. See your
road. Two years ago, I sat with the
president and Kalabari chiefs and I
said, ‘Allow me take this road. The
president said no’. You can see
the road. Next rainy season, you
cannot drive into this place unless
you change the President and if
you change the President, then
the new President can fix the
road.” he was quoted by Vanguard
as saying
