All Progressives Congress’ delegates have been charged on patriotism ahead of the primary to elect the party’s presidential candidate scheduled for May 29 and 30.
A presidential aspirant on the APC platform, Mr Tein Jack-Rich, gave the charge on Friday in Abuja, during an interactive session with journalists on the forthcoming presidential primary.
According to him, “What major factor we have to consider as we prepare for the upcoming primary is that our vote will decide the future of over 240 million plus Nigerians from 2023 to 2027.
“For that reason, you need a president that knows how to create jobs; you need a president that can feel your pain.
“You need a president that can connect people and opportunities to realise their God-given potentials and capacities, and for that you need Tein Jack-Rich.”
The Rivers-born industrialist said he would ensure every Nigerian enjoyed maximum social security, self-dignity and values the citizens had lost and now yearning for.
He urged delegates to ensure that they vote for the aspirant with a proven track-record of working towards a strong, prosperous, united and wealthy Nigeria.
According to him, Nigeria needs a man who understands how the country can create access to modern technology and connect Nigeria to the gateway of G-20, with his experience in the global economic space.
He, therefore, urged them to put the country first because a prosperous country would ensure the protection and comfort of all citizens, including the generations to come.
He further charged the delegates, “What legacy will you leave for your children and the yet unborn? How will your name be written in the book of remembrance?
“Will you be remembered as those who worked and fought for the entrenchment of a democracy that turned the fortunes of Nigeria around or will you be remembered as those who pocketed the future of their children by wrong decisions?
“The choice no doubt is yours to make. Let us make the right choice for our country and for our future.”
