Whatever combination APC comes up with that will BEAT the PDP is fantastically fine by me. We have endured HARDSHIP with PMB reworking the nation; the GAINS of the PAINS are surfacing,[b] a PDP return will take us back to Egypt. [/b]APC!!! please put your house in order!

Where are we right now again?

I'd be happy if we re in EGYPT sef. Nigeria is no where near Egypt under Buhari.

BennyDGreat:
The permutations are different now.
You cannot undermine the kind of structure a man like Tinubu has in his pocket.....
If he says no to Amaechi ticket forget it.
The Structure you control is what determines things

keep quite you know nothing

It's all about concessions, tinubu have to choose whether to have apc or allow pdp win

If pdp wins, he would get ready to loose the region cohesion he has been having

He would have a very formidable pdp that would be taking west one after the order

Lagos would become a threat too because he is just surviving by the thread in recent elections

So he is on one chance

PressMyButton:
Is that screenshot Amaechi's profile?..
Show me anywhere in his profile where he identifies as ibo.

Watch this video Amaechi never for one day deny his tribe

Amaechi is a great guy.

[s][/s]Trash, the delegates for both the convention and primaries dey buhari palm

We know who to invite as delegates when time comes

Don't cry on our behalf, rather cry for tilumbu that is weeping after we did our apc national membership revalidation

Amaechi has lost Rivers state and the entire SouthSouth to Wike….yet you guys imagine he can win a National election? That’ll be a miracle and the APC Chieftains know he cannot make it on the national stage. Someone once said that Amaechi has never won an election in his life…..pls don’t ask me why they said that o. Anyway, Wike was always outsmarting him. With Amaechi carrying APC ticket, we’re in for another era of PDP treasury looting. Allison Madueke and Dasuki can make their return!

Tinubu urchins, who in this country loot more than Tinubu

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.

With the way wike has performed like a dictator amaechi can’t loose any election in rivers. People are tired of wike Controling them just like tinubu.

Amaechi is partly igbo and is loved by many. He’s trustworthy and dependable. Down to earth man leader and supporter of the masses.

He is not a bad pick.

!

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!

Ugonna62:
All the names you mention except tambuwal are igbos,and if APC or PDP find any of them worthy and qualify to fly their ticket so be it, you can go and die ,citing the issue of Biafra in this sceniero is absolutly baseless and silly,the only thing igbos are against, is for another yorubaman from anywhere to become president in 2023 ,it wont happen,if tomorrow PDP decide to give their ticket to igboman from igala,we will gladly appreciate the gesture and support him.is better than any greedy thief and the other short coward from south west.

I will rather eat sand than vote for a yoruba man from south west.


Those ones are more greedy for power than northerners o.

Continue your ranting... If the powers that be in the North decides that it is Amaechi who is Magnus? Besides you sound like it is only in Rivers or South South that delegates will vote, if he gets the delegates in the North and West what else? And again if Obasanjo can reconcile with Atiku why won't the powers that be reconcile Amaechi and Magnus and every other APC factions in South South? You don't really understand Nigerian politics at all.

You have not made any sense.

Its too early to wail.
You are not the mouth-piece of hundreds of thousands of delegates and Rivers State Delegates is just 1/37 of the total states.

Amaechi is qualified in all ramifications to run tho country but you are hell bent on packaging this old Tinubu who has a lot of questions hanging around his neck.

We need younger minds to run this country.
Enough of Tinubu and Atiku.

Don't mind the guy with his childish analysis.

Amechi is not Igbo, but from Ikwerre tribe in Rivers State.

MY SISTER, THE PETTINESS OF THESE AFONJA/ABOKI WILL SHOCK YOU.

IF IT IS AMAECHI THAT WILL COMPLETE SS TENURE, THAT GEJ STARTED, LET THEM GO AHEAD.

Amaechi is not Igbo @Penguin2
That man stylishly began to identify with the Igbo group after his governorship tenure expired. If Igbos should forget what amaechi was prior to leaving govt house in rivers state, then people like wike, amaechi & co will continue to take the Igbos for granted.

WHETHER HE IS IGBO OR NOT IS FOR NIGERIANS TO DECIDE, OUR OWN IS TO VOTE A CANDIDATE.
