The Forthcoming Election Is Between The Rich And The Poor – Amaechi

The minister of transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi has said that the forthcoming 2019 general election is between the rich and the poor.

Amaechi who is also the Director-General of Buhari /Osinbajo Campaign Organisation, made this known in Kwara state on Friday, January 4, 2018, while commissioning about 1,872 APC canvassers.

According to him, the goal of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is to take power from the rich and hand over to the poor. He said:

“We are gathered here today to peacefully take over power from the rich and hand over to the poor. That is what APC stands for.

“We join the poor to say we must take power from the rich. We join the poor to say enough is enough.

“The elite and the thieves have ganged-up against the APC. But they don’t have the power because they don’t have the number. The number is with the poor and the poor must rise to vote on that day.

“When the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, was handing over, he left $58bn, where is the money now? How much did state governments collect? How much did the Federal Government collect? What did they do with the money?”
