I am contesting for office because I believe that it is my moral duty to give what I can in the service of my country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo sustain and intensify present efforts at solving our national problems, our democracy must ensure the emergence of a leadership that is equipped with broad experience in governance to ensure stability and continuity. To sustain our democracy and preserve our unity, we need a steady hand and a passion for success in a nation that remains united to pursue prosperity for all Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is this combination of experience and patriotic passion that I bring to the table. I have been in the political arena for 23 years. I have served at every level of government \u2013 local, state, and federal. I have served both as a political appointee and an elected official. I have served both as an executive \u2013 as Governor of Rivers State and as a legislator \u2013 as Speaker of the State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn these capacities, I did not just fill vacant posts. As a Speaker, I managed the legislative process in a difficult transition from military rule. As Governor, I defeated mercantile militancy and restored security. As a minister, I can modestly claim to have justified the trust of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I stand as an aspirant to the position of President because of that same passion for people; that same drive for results. More than ever before, I am burning with the zeal to make a decisive difference in the lives of all Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo matter the darts and arrows that come my way, I will remain steadfast because the stakes are too high. We cannot afford to fail. We cannot afford to veer off-course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI pledge my heart, mind and soul to the task of building a Nigeria in which every child can go to school, every young person can find work or support to start a business, every citizen can travel safely around the country and sleep at night knowing that law and order prevails and every Nigerian feels included, heard, and respected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe road ahead will be long and arduous. But we go forward with faith.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>m\u200einister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday said he will be\u00a0 contesting to become Nigeria\u2019s next president in 2023 \u201cbecause I believe that it is my moral duty to give what I can in the service of my country Amaechi formally declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidential election.
