Some Nigerians in United kingdom under the aegis of Amaechi Vanguard have mounted pressure on Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to indicate interest in Nigeria’s Presidency.
In a statement by Sam Wosu, the Coordinator stated that the call has become necessary now in order to motivate Amaechi into joining the Presidential race.
It said Amaechi becoming President will lead to prosperity and make a difference in the lives of Nigerians.
The statement noted that the group, which is concerned about good governance, unity, equity and progress of Nigeria at the United Kingdom will soon embark on a tour of USA and other European nations to mobilise Nigerians to pressurise Amaechi to throw in his hat for the 2023 general elections.
“Though Rt. Hon. Amaechi is yet to declare any interest to run for any office come 2023 but after careful monitoring of events and the happenings in Nigeria, we can no longer leave the issue of the future of Nigeria and who is to govern her come 2023 in the hands of few leaders”.
“Seeing how this man could turn the moribund railway system in Nigeria into the main achievement of the APC led Federal Government as a Minister just for six years,we see in him as the leader that is capable of turning the sad and sorry state of our nation into the vision of the founding fathers of Nigeria. We Nigerians in United Kingdom resolve to market this man and in the process mobilise Nigerians both in Diaspora and in Nigeria to prevail and pressure him to indicate interest in the 2023 general elections so that collectively we can take our country to the next level”.
“Considering his track record of achievements during his first and second tenure as a Governor of Rivers State and currently as the minister of transportation. His developmental approaches is the tonic and tool that our nation need at this period to reposition her as a potential world power”.
‘We believe his turnaround in the transportation sector has earned him huge credibility which in turn has started to impact positively to Nigeria and Nigerians”, the statement read in parts.
