Bola Tinubu, leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC has said that the outcome of the March 28 and April 11 general elections is a confirmation that Nigeria needed a “common sense revolution that is non-violent.”
In view of this, Tinubu said while the APC has got the people’s mandate to lead the nation, it is also important that the “new leadership must embark on policies that will improve the general well being of the mass of our people.”
He said this on Thursday at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos during the presentation of “Dynamics of Change, The Ameachi Years,” a book written on Rotimi Amaechi, Rivers State governor.
Also speaking at the event, Professor Wole Soyinka, Nobel Laureate described Ameachi as the arrowhead of the change that has now been witnessed in the Nigerian government, at the centre.
In his review of the book, Hassan Kukah, Bishop of Sokoto diocese said the book is a “labour of love and profitable companion.”
The book was edited by Chidi Amuta and Yemi Ogunbiyi while the forward was written by Professor Soyinka.
In a speech at the event, Ameachi said the book is a documentation of his work and events that characterized his administration as governor of Rivers State within the period from 2008 to 2015.
The event was well attended by high profile dignitaries including, Aliko Dangote, chairman, Dangote group of companies; Odigie Oyegun, APC national chairman; Nasir El-Rufai, Kaduna State governor elect and Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun State governor, among others.
