APC Primaries: Buratai Woos Zulum, APC Delegates For Amaechi





Former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, has urged the Governor, and delegates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Borno State to vote for former Transportation Minister, Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, to emerge as the party’s flag bearer for the 2023 presidential elections.

Buratai who is now Nigeria’s Ambassador to Benin Republic, said Amaechi is one Nigerian that can change things for good in the country, if given the opportunity to serve as President.

Speaking at a consultative meeting between Amaechi, Governor Babagana Zulum, leaders and delegates of the APC in Maiduguri, Borno State on Sunday, Buratai narrated how Amaechi as Governor of Rivers State, fought militancy, kidnapping and others forms of criminality, restoring sanity to the State within few months of assuming office.

The former COAS, who was then Brigade Commander of the Nigerian Army in Rivers State, said he saw in Amaechi the resilience and determination to do things right, urging the Governor and delegates to give him all their votes and see for themselves the change that will occur when Amaechi gets the ticket and eventually becomes President.

He said, “Your Excellency, we will not share any votes. Give hundred percent of your votes to Rt Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, and I will tell you the reasons why. 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, as a Governor and as Minister. He has led his peers 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 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,” he said.

Chai seems Amaechi is the north’s choice and most northern aspirants will step down for him before the primaries. Lawan and Badaru


You heard it here first

That’s why they had to send the Emir of Kano to explain to baba Obasanjo where the pendulum is swinging


Btw how can a former COAS quickly associate with a political party right after retirement? The former one before him was a pro PDP general too


We need to check some stuffs going on in our institutions

Imagine central bank gov too contesting for president and he is even partisan

This guy better pass tinibu oo
Only if Nigerians go see

BURATAI please go to ABA and campaign for AMEACHI

Nice foresight Buratai.
Good of u to know on time that H.E Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi is our president 2023.

Well done sir
