Even Muritala Mohammed Would Want Rotimi Amaechi To Run For President by Bukati2(op): 6:20am On Feb 14, 2021

Muritala Mohammed was Nigeria's greatest military head of state. And very interestingly, Nigeria's busiest airport is named after him.

If he were to be alive today, he would endorse Rotimi Amaechi Presidential Aspirations and give him his blessings.

So far so good, no fewer than three persons have began thier rather overt campaigns for the 2023 presidential elections in Nigeria.

However, there's been no such overt displays from the camp of Rotimi Amaechi Nigeria's incumbent Minister of Transportation.

Of all the potential candidates and presidential favourites, Nigerians will be angling to see Nyesom wike and Rotimi Amaechi square with each other in what will be a classic match of equally matched titans.

So far so good, the Ahmed Tinubu, Orji uzo kalu and the Governor of Kogi state have started thier overt consultation, but it is Rotimi Amaechi who has had to perish his presidential hopes twice that has the greatest appeal.

But it is rather untoward that despite all thier overt moves, Rotimi Amaechi's camp keeps mum. Perhaps they are watching the scene keenly or maybe they are preparing thier classic political underhand.

Any which way, Nigerians are hoping to see Rotimi Amaechi take to the field and mesmerise us once again with his integrated lessons in political strategy.
