As Presidential Aspirant and former Minister of Transportation, Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, continues to hold consultations with delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country, a former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has endorsed the former Minister, stating that his loyalty and love for Nigeria and humanity is unmatched.
According to the Campaign Organization, Gen. Buratai, who is currently Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Republic of Benin, gave his support at a meeting with APC delegates in Bauchi on Wednesday night, when he and other dignitaries accompanied Presidential candidate Chibuike Amaechi to solicit delegates’ support ahead of the party’s primaries.

Burutai stated that Amaechi’s outstanding profile and vast experience in governance prompted him to lend his support.
“As you can see from the introduction, our Presidential aspirant has a lot of experience,” he said. Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has an intimidating profile. He has proven to be a capable administrator, a versatile leader, a good strategist, and a consummate politician in all areas where he has worked. As Speaker, Governor, Minister, and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, he was first among equals, as was the dexterity and quality of the campaign (for President Buhari) he led on two occasions. That is why I am completely behind him. ” He did so with all his determination, loyalty, and, of course, love for Nigeria and humanity, regardless of religion. This is admirable, which is why he’s here today to ask for your votes. I believe you already know he’s the man of the moment based on what you’ve heard about him. He is the best option. As a result, I implore you to make the right decision and vote for him,” Buratai said.
Addressing the delegates, Amaechi stated that he is the only candidate in the party with a track record of defeating the opposition. He urged delegates to vote for him in order to benefit all Nigerians.
“This is the moment of decision,” he claims. I’ve served in public office for 22 years, as Speaker, Governor, and Minister. And you’ll see my footprint in all of them. A railway line is being built from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. The Port Harcourt-Maiduguri railway connects Port Harcourt and Bauchi. That project will be completed and jobs will be created if you vote for me. So please vote for me and elect me as the party’s candidate. I doubt the other candidates will be able to beat me; if you vote for me, I will defeat the PDP.”
Earlier, during a visit to HRM Dr. Rilwan Suleiman Adamu, the Emir of Bauchi, Amaechi used the opportunity to re-emphasize his commitment to deliver on infrastructure and combat insecurity if elected.

“Your Highness, I am here to seek your blessings and to appeal to the Bauchi delegates to vote for me on the day of the primaries, because no one in our party is as prepared to be President of Nigeria as I am.”
I possess the necessary energy, capability, knowledge, and strength to serve as President of Nigeria. I know what the problems are and what the solutions should be, and I’m asking for your help in finding solutions to those problems.” In Port Harcourt, one of the things I did to combat militancy was to create jobs. I plan to implement agricultural programmes to help people find work. If you vote for me, I will provide infrastructure in Bauchi, I have a lot of experience, and I will chase the criminals away. I’ve done it before in Port Harcourt and Rivers State, and I’m willing to do it again. I will do everything possible to restore the country’s security. Please encourage your constituents to vote for me, and I will bring my experience to bear, said Amaechi.
