Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, has reportedly been given increased protection as part of the run for President in 2023.
According to the Source, sources suggest that President Muhammadu Buhari favors the former Rivers Governor succeeding him.
“The President will not raise an objection if Amaechi desires to contest. In the interim, the calculation is he will run alongside (Governor) El-Rufai.
“Also, I can confirm that security around the minister has been doubled. This could not have happened without Mr. President’s clearance”, one said.
Apart from increased security personnel, Amaechi also travels in a bulletproof Sport Utility Vehicle that he recently purchased (SUV).
During a January interview, Buhari refused to name his favored candidate for the country’s top post.
“I would not (mention) because he may be eliminated if I do. I better keep that a secret”, Buhari said.
Amaechi has extensive experience, having served as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly from 1999 to 2007 and as Governor of Rivers State from 2007 to 2015.
Supporters of the 56-year-old marched through the streets of Calabar, Cross River’s capital, last weekend.
They urged him to proclaim an intention to run in 2023, stressing that he is qualified, with posters and other promotional items.
Under the auspices of the Unity House Foundation (UHF), loyalists are dispersed among the six South-South states.
“We are here to join voices, with our members and other youths across Nigeria, to call on the Minister to declare his aspiration to run for President.
“He has a track record, from his days as Speaker through Governor of Rivers, Chairman of Governors Forum, and Speakers.
“He has been able to revitalise the railway system in the country, the Maritime Academy in Oron, among others”, said UHF Chairman, Chima Onuoha.
