Still no. Thanks, but no thanks.

To be fair, I can't argue with this logic.

He ticks the "Igbo" box.
He ticks the South South box

He is loved by the north more than any southern politician except maybe orji kalu.

The guy built rails for them even when it's not necessary.

And unlike tinubu and Osibanjo, he has a strong Chance of winning the South.

Stop this trash. APC can't field any gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State due to this noisy and empty Rotimi.

sammirano:
Still no. Thanks, but no thanks.

That is the most viable apc politician.

Any other person, and the race would be long and bitter.

Thicks all boxes.....

Lol

I HAVE NO OPINIONS SINCE AMAECHI IS AN IGBO MAN.


AT LEAST, NOW WE DRAW A LINE ON THE WHOLE IKWERE DENIAL OF NOT BEING IGBO.



HENCEFORTH, IF AN IKWERE CLAN MEMBER OF THE IGBO TRIBE TELLS YOU, HE IS NOT IGBO, CALL HIM A THIEF.



THEY CANNOT HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT.

tinubu has made more sacrifices more, sidelining tinubu is betrayal

There's nothing like sidelining here, our nation is in a current state of needing serious work to fix it, in as far as jagaban is a master of progressive development politics unfortunately age is no more on his side, let's say the fact.

If Yoruba no do am now, it will still come back someday and Yoruba will do it again.

Go amaechi go

Meanwhile amaechi is for Ibos no b say in another 16 years they'll now come back and be dragging the undragable

SO IKWERE IS NOW IGBO ABI?


NOT IN ANOTHER 16 YEARS, YORUBA 'LL NOW COME AND BE DRAGGING THAT IKWERE IS NOT IGBO.


WAYO, WORKS BOTH WAYS.


Y IS THE NORTH PICKING A CANDIDATE FROM A GROUP IN SS AND IN DOUBT OF THEIR IDENTITY?


WE GO SEE, WEN THE TIME REACH. YEYE PEOPLE!

They should all be categorized to be one family, we can't be doing it tiny tiny by each tribes and dialects, we have over 250 ethnic tribes in Nigeria, so ethnic groupings won't be a bad idea. Most northerners answers Hausa or Hausa fulani not because there aren't 100s of tribes there in the north.

Let the amaechi and use it for 8 years, till 2031, and in 2031 a northerner should iṣẹ it till 2039 and of course a Yoruba man too can use it till till 2047 that's how equity could reign

I like that Amaechi is from the Southern region but that is all he ticks for me. I want a southerner to emerge because enough of Northerners turning Abuja to their personal kitchen. Giving terrorists and bandits balls to keep being national nuisances. That said, does Amaechi have the clout? the reputation? is he even popular in the East and South South? Wike alone go split him votes.

Any southerner for president is who I will vote for. No to north 2023

WHO DONT KNOW THAT?



WIKE BITE THE HAND THAT FEED HIM.



THE SAME PEOPLE THAT VOTED HIM AND SUPPORTED HIM, WHEN THE NORTH WANTED HIM OUT.

IGBOS NEVER FORGET ANYTHING.

No 7 kee you dia idiot

Amaechi has been ordained by ALMIGHTY North, to rule this Country come 2023.

Directionless idiots of biafla

FreeStuffsNG:


APC can't even win Rivers State let alone the SS if he is presented in an election the SW will give a protest vote against APC if it dare gives its ticket to any other zone apart from the SW.

I disagree with this part.

He can definitely win in SW.


The problem is Buhari has made APC less marketable in the SW.


APC has lost their Goodwill in the SW.

Lol!

Isn’t that how funny life is.

He was lizard to us and lion to them.

Now he’s lion to us and lizard to them because he’s the greatest threat to their lord’s ambition.

One just have to live long to see this unravel!

The Op is just a paid Amaechi miscreant trying to rewrite history. He is no different from Tinubu urchins in this forum.

You are giving those who said they aren't part of a Zoo false hope. You are selling Amaechi candidacy to them to sooth their pains abi.

Another lies that Amaechi is incorruptible.

headSmasher:
They have started shifting goal post, No more Biafra, Pandora Peter Obi, Anyim, now it is lkwerre Ameachi, if that one doesn't favour them, they run to tambuwal and clinch to Wike

They will run to anything and with anything as long as it’s not a Yoruba. That is the beginning and End of their politics…stopping Yorubas

Penguin2:
I’m not going to bore you with long epistle. I will be concise and straight to the point.

So one of the presidential hopefuls for the 2023 general election is the Honorable Minister of Transport, Rt Hon. Chibuike Romtimi Amaechi (though he has not declared).

Some have speculated he might be Buhari’s secret candidate especially with his recent turbaning by the Daura Emirate.

Now, away from secret candidate and turbaning, let me enumerate for you, why the man Amaechi might be APC’s most suitable candidate for 2023.

1. HE IS A FOUNDATION MEMBER
One of the arguments that some supporters of some certain interest in APC has always used against some presidential aspirants like David Umahi and Orji Uzor Kalu, is that these men are not foundation members of the party but just defected when they saw the party had won power. To them, those men do not qualify to sick APC ticket while some other people that laboured to build the party and financed it will be deprived of it. Well, that argument won’t work on Amaechi because Amaechi was the leader of the 5 PDP governors that joined APC then as New-PDP. Not only did he join the APC, it is believed that he also made a lot of financial commitments and has twice been the Director General of the party’s presidential campaigns. So, whatever stake that any interest in APC claims to have, Amaechi equal has it and that is non-contestible.

2. HE ANSWERS FOR SOUTHSOUTH CLAMOUR TO COMPLETE THEIR TENURE
One of the distant voices that has been heard in the discourse of 2023, has been the fact that the Southsouth part of the country still has 4 years of its presidential tenure to complete since President Jonathan could not win re-election after 4 years of his original tenure. Although , like I said, this clamour may not have been as pronounced as many other clamours, but it has been made regardless and that is what an Amaechi presidency will answer to; since he is from the Southsouth .

3.THE CLAMOUR FOR IGBO PRESIDENCY
As 2023 elections draw closer, one of the loudest and most valid agitation is that of Igbo presidency in general and Nigerian President of southeast extraction in particular. All Nigerians of conscience know that this agitation is valid, and for the continued peaceful coexistence of the Nigerian project, it is imperative that it is addressed. Now, that’s why Amaechi comes in. While somebody like Nyesom Wike has told the world he is not Igbo, Amaechi has consistently insisted that “nobody can deny me of my Igboness”. He has always adorned his traditional Isiagu dress when occasion allows it, in identification with his Igbo culture. Now, while Nigerians are skeptical about handing power over to an Igbo man from the southeast, such fears might not exist for Amaechi. Why?

Because an Igbo man of Southsouth has never gone through the denial, punishment, deprivations and subjugation that has been meted to the Igbo man of southeast. The implication is that the anger level in their hearts are different.

While the Igbo man of southeast might harbour resentment for the Nigerian state with desire for revenge, the Igbo man in southeast is likely not going to harbour resentment in his heart.

So, if the agitation for Igbo presidency is something that must be addressed, but the rest of Nigeria is skeptical about handing power over to a man from Southeast, the closest solution to the impasse is Amaechi.

With Amaechi, all that would have to be done is to conscientize with Ndigbo to settle for “Igbo Presidency” rather than insist on “Nigerian President of Southeast Extraction” and trust me it would sell.

4. AMAECHI IS DETRIBALIZED AND A BRIDGE BUILDER
One of the most reoccurring arguments against most Igbo presidential aspirants is the fact that they are tribal and are not bridge builders. Well, not Amaechi; because I do not think there’s any part of Nigeria that has anything against Amaechi especially when it comes to tolerance for Nigerians of other ethnic groups. What am I even saying, there’s a ‘Rotimi’ in his name, Remember? Dude is even a Yoruba. Lol.

5. AGE
One of the issues in the front burner of the 2023 political discourse is the fact that we need young, agile and capable people to occupy political positions. Yes. Aso Rock should not be converted to retirement home for old men to go and be resting their bones. At 57 years of age, Amaechi fits perfectly into that yardstick.

6. PROVEN RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS
An unbiased assessment of the Buhari regime would throw up Rotimi Amaechi as one of, if not, the brightest and most performing ministers in the Buhari government. The transformation happening in the rail sector is visible to all Nigerians. But that’s not all, before he became minister, he was governor of Rivers State for 8 years and if you ask those who witnessed his administration in Rivers, they’d tell you he has been one of the best things to happen to Rivers state. So, aside that fact that an Amaechi presidency will answer to several other agitations and inerests, we are also going to be having a man with proven records of achievements in public service.

7. NO TAINT OF CORRUPTION
“I don’t like money”. That is one of the most popular statements that has been made by Amaechi. While that may have been metaphorical and does not really translate to him being a saint, he seems to not have any case of financial malfeasance to his name so far despite how long he has been in public service. So if APC’s aim is to give Nigerians somebody who is not corrupt, then Amaechi is the man.

I promised it was not gonna be long but it did.

But there you have it. What are you going to add and what are you going to remove?

Penguin is a bird of reason!

A man who couldn't produce ordinary councilor in his state! I gave up on this epistle when l read ..." To them, those men do not qualify to "sick" APC ticket"!

zinizta:



I disagree with this part.

He can definitely win in SW.


The problem is Buhari has made APC less marketable in the SW.

would south west now because of anything say they want to move to pdp?

Na reality be that so, they would manage the marriage tinubu signed them to otherwise tinubu go loose that Lagos that have been shaking in his hand 50/50 since with a pdp FG

Hahaha... Sir, even few days after EndSars an election held here in Lagos and it was a landslide in favour of the APC. Please go and check out the result of Lagos East senatorial election.
Even if states go for PDP at the Presidential election presenting an APC Asiwaju Tinubu candidate, it will be a sweeping landslide.

Prior to Lagos election was Ondo gubernatorial election also won by the APC.
SW is APC

Ayafi "thick" na. Ameachi don "thick" well well.

Amaechi is a great guy. I have nothing against him. But learnt he is a Jagaban guy. All these social media noise amounts to nothing because,

FreeStuffsNG:
He should just convince APC Rivers first.

In APC Rivers State alone, Senator Abe's faction of APC don't see eye to eye with him which led to Amaechi's political relegation into opposition just after his tenure and the defeat of APC in Rivers) and delegates from neighbouring states like Abia(where OUK who is contesting) or SS states like Edo (where Oshiomhole he used his protege, Giadom, to scatter his Exco is still in charge), Delta (Omo Agege who wants to contest for Delta governorship and need broader and stronger political platform in APC ), Akwa Ibom (where Akpabio is contesting too) and Cross Rivers first( where Prof Ayade is new and yet to disclose his plans ) won't vote for him in the primaries

Sincerely, If HE Amaechi really wanted to win delegates, he should not be in this political isolation. He is a loner and will lose even in his Rivers State if the election is conducted today or tomorrow.

He can't even guarantee votes from his state delegates during the primaries let alone at the General election in a Rivers State where HE Wike has repeatedly beaten him.

APC can't even win Rivers State let alone the SS if he is presented in an election the SW will give a protest vote against APC if it dare gives its ticket to any other zone apart from the SW.
