There are high indications that president Mohamadu Buhari has adopted the Minister for Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi as his successor after serving as the president of Nigeria for two consecutive times.
This could be deduced by the body language of the president within a short period of time following some current activities happening in the All Progressives Congress.
Firstly, the All Progressives Congress successfully zoned her party's presidential seat to South which foreclosed other aspirants from indicating interests.
Secondly, Buhari during APC national convention insinuated that the highest bidder must always not get the ticket, understanding the fact that the former governor of Lagos State, His Excellency Bola Tinibu was already at the forefront.
Amidst the long silence of the president's successor, the Minister for Transportation, Rt Hon. Rotimi Amaechi today made a formal declarations of his intention to aspire for the position of the president.
The former governor of Rivers State during his declaration at Adokiye Amesiema international stadium said he is submitting to aspire for the office of the president.
According to him "I stand before you today to declare my intention and submit my application to serve as your next president"
The minister went further to thank president Buhari noting that without him he wouldn't have been where he is today. "I could not have gone this far without the support of President Mohamadu Buhari."
-Rotimi Amaechi
Recalled, this was barely few weeks after president Buhari brought in Sen. Abdullahi Adamu as consensus candidate for APC national chairman that will pilot the activities of the party for the next tenure.
In another development, president Buhari in a live TV interview told Nigerians that if he unveils his successor too early the successor may likely be killed. The statement further kept Nigerians wondering who could that successor be.
It is on record that the president has always promised Nigerians of a good transition which may likely be the Rotimi Amaechi's factor and as well considereing a youthful leader that understands the plight of the masses especially what Nigerians are clamouring for.
Seemingly, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi emergence as Buhari's presidential Director General in 2015 and 2019 os enough reason that he will likely succeed his principal Mohamadu Buhari come 2023.
Unbelievable! Just see what US ambassador to Nigeria said to NDDC boss The United States envoy to Nigeria, Ambassador William Stuart Symington, has made an outrageous remarks on the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, for communicating constantly with its stakeholders to ensure efficient service delivery to the people of the Niger Delta. Ambassador Symington gave the remarks when he led a delegation from the US mission in Nigeria to pay a courtesy visit to the NDDC management at the Commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt. He said: “We are highly interested in the success story of the Niger Delta region. So, we are satisfied with the approach of taking stock and thereafter charting the way forward.” The US envoy said he was pleased to see Nigeria through eyes of the NDDC, as well as see how the Board and management were tackling the challenges of developing the Niger Delta “I hope the people of Nigeria can be united for the development of the country...
