Delegates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in Kaduna, have declared support for Ex-minister and 2023 presidential aspirant, Rotimi Amaechi.
This is coming after they had pledged to support the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Speaking during a consultative meeting with Amaechi, State governor, Nasir Ahmad el-Rufa’i, queried the delegates on who they wanted to vote for, and shouts of: ‘Dan Amanar’, ‘your choice’, ‘Amaechi’ rang through the room.
He responded;” I thought you were voting Asiwaju?”, the delegates continued to express support for the former Rivers Governor.
Speaking on Amaechi, el-Rufa’i said: “I told you when you made that pledge to Asiwaju that others may not come, because of what you have done. You made that choice without listening to anyone else. Today you have seen the difference. You’ve heard Amaechi, you’ve seen what he has done. And he has brought a very strong security team. So you know what will happen with our security if he is in charge.
“What are you going to do? Who are you supporting now? You have a huge burden on you, and you must choose what is best for Kaduna and for Nigeria”.
He further narrated his experience of the goodness and sterling leadership qualities of Amaechi, from when he was Governor till date, and why President Muhammadu Buhari has high regard for him.
