Governor Amaechi Set To Work With Buhari
The 2015 general elections is just about six
months ahead, so it is naturally to see the
gladiators doing all that is necessary to secure
victory, if the template for a free and fair contest
is assured.
Sources say Rivers State Governor Rotimi
Amaechi is highly disposed to work with Gen
Muhammadu Buhari in the presidential primary of
the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His political allies told TheCable that he is very
comfortable with Buhari. �Amaechi said at a
meeting with his political allies recently that even
though APC has very good presidential materials,
Buhari stands out. Electorally, he can deliver
northern votes and get a significant number from
the south.
�More importantly, he thinks Buhari is the only
candidate who can fight corruption in Nigeria
because he has nothing to lose. A lot of people
need to be jailed to stop this impunity, and he
believes Buhari will not go about setting up
committees to achieve simple tasks.
�He did not rule out supporting any other
aspirant, but Buhari will be his first choice,� one
of governor Amaechi�s associates told TheCable.
Amaechi�s support is considered �vital� in the
party because of his logistics capability.
APC�s flag bearer is expected to come from the
North when the primary holds later in the year.
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Kano
Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are also
thought to be interested in the ticket. But
Amaechu will roll out his machinery to back
Buhari who had been described by many as very
consistent since 2003.
�He has nothing but absolute respect for Buhari
who has proved himself to be honest, courageous
and committed to the development of Nigeria. He
will do everything necessary to help the general
emerge as the candidate of the party,� the
Amaechi associate said.
