Rotimi Amaechi Has What It Takes To Be President – Buratai

Ex-Chief of Army Staff and Nigeria’s Ambassador to Benin Republic, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai has come out to back former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi for presidency.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he can only urge the Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum and delegates of the All Progressives Congress in the state to back Rotimi Amaechi as well because he is the right man for the job.

He added that Amaechi succeeded in curbing militancy, kidnapping, and other forms of criminality, restoring sanity to the state within a few months of assuming office as Rivers State Governor.

His words, “Your Excellency, we will not share any votes. Give 100 percent of your votes to Rotimi Amaechi, and I will tell you the reasons. Here with us is the man of the moment who is ready to serve, and has shown the determination in his exploits and his experience over the years, as Speaker, governor, and as minister. He has led his fellow governors twice. He has also led his colleagues in parliament as Chairman, Conference of Speakers twice.”

“He has that experience and very importantly he has remained loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari. On two occasions in 2015 and 2019, as campaign Director-General, he delivered for President Muhammadu Buhari. You know the history of Borno, we have always gone along with the winning team. Do not follow any other person apart from Amaechi who is here. We must align ourselves with Amaechi, we must be with the man of the moment.”
