The Delta State Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has absolved the minister of state for petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu of any link or support to the presidential ambition of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The council made the disclosure in a statement made available to journalists on Monday affirming that Dr. Kachikwu was neither sitting on the fence nor supportive of any other political interest outside the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the statement issued by Hon. Temi Harriman, director-general and Dr Iyke Odikpo, deputy director-general respectively, the group also elaborated on the contributions of Dr. Kachikwu to the APC in the state.
“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have responded to spurious claims as we are used to such coordinated media attacks designed to impugn the personality and achievements of the Honourable Minister, using obscure blogs and online platforms with a faceless element with no affiliation to the Party.
Dismissing insinuations that he had betrayed his party through acquittances in the opposition, the statement said: “The Minister had always insisted that his political affiliation cannot threaten his friendship with Nigerians across the board.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Minister is not -overtly or covertly – supporting the Presidential candidate of the PDP nor is he sitting on the fence. He is irreversibly commitment to the re-election of President Buhari and all APC candidates “It is important to state here that the Dr Ibe Kachikwu has no ulterior motives nor seeks to undermine, usurp or dwarf the political fortune or interest of anyone. His contributions to the Delta APC is consistent with his character of achieving a result. Therefore, the futile attempt to impugn his person will only lead to a collision course that will undermine all the gains of the party so far.”
Noting the efforts of the minister in improving the lot of the party in the state, the council deposed: “The unparalleled efforts of the Honourable Minister in repositioning the APC in the State, to make it a viable opposition to the ruling PDP cannot be overemphasized.
“While Kachikwu is not someone who craves media attention or flaunt his achievement, it has become expedient to state some of his commitment to not only the campaign but the Party.”
The statement affirmed that Dr. Kachikwu has since his appointment as minister been able through consultations and meetings been able to make the APC in Delta State “a more cohesive and stronger alternative, giving the ruling party a run for their money.
