provided his solution to insecurity in a past experience he shared.
Presidential aspirant Rotimi Amaechi has revealed he intends to tackle insecurity if he actualizes his political ambition.
The former Governor of Rivers state made the revelation in Katsina on Monday, May 23, 2022.
Amaechi was in Katsina to canvas delegates from the state to his side in preparation for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary scheduled for May 29/30, 2022.
The immediate past minister for transportation provided his solution to insecurity in a past experience he shared.
The presidential aspirant told delegates “If you know Rivers State before I became the Governor, you will know there were serious cases of kidnappings and killings in the State that made oil companies move away, but in 6 months, I restored security.
“General Buratai (former Chief of Army Staff) was then a Brigade Commander, for six months I did not sleep. So I said, they too will not sleep. Until they left Rivers people to sleep, then me too, I started sleeping.
“That’s why anywhere I go for consultations with delegates, I go with Gen. Buratai and former Inspector General of Police, Abba Suleiman, who was the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State at the time and the former Chief of Air Staff, Sadique Abubakar who was Air Force commander in Rivers then. We were bombing them everyday until they ran away.”
