Leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of North Central APC Forum have thrown their weight behind presidential aspiration of Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
The forum’s chairman, Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, reiterated the support and commitment of the forum to Amaechi’s presidential bid in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
Zazzaga said the forum’s decision to support Amaechi’s ambition was spurred by his exceptional abilities which he would use to move the country to next level if elected president.
He said they have studied all APC presidential aspirants and they have concluded that only Amaechi had what it took to replace President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Even though our initial quest was to ensure that someone from the region emerges as the next president, but now, it may be impossible, particularly from our party (APC) perspective with the emergence of the party national chairman from the region and the zoning of the presidency to the south.
“But having carefully studied the presidential aspirants from our party, we have decided to settle for Amaechi, who declared his presidential aspiration in Port Harcourt last Friday, because of his quality and strength of character.
“His achievements are laudable and generally beneficial to the people. That is why we have decided to give our support to him as the next and right person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023,” he said.
He said Amaechi is a detribalized Nigerian and a friend of all the regions in the country, saying someone like him was needed at this time in the country’s history.
He called on political party leaders and the electorates to always support a man who will unite the country, improve security, boost the economy and revitalize all the key sectors of the nation.
