They, therefore, appealed to Buhari to ensure that Amaechi, who was the director-general of All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APCPCC), is appointed into a position that reciprocates his contributions and sacrifices towards the emergence of the APC-led federal government.
Chairman of the Northern Community in the South-South zone, Alhaji Muhammadu Ali Kwande, disclosed this while speaking to journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, shortly after the meeting of leaders of the community, where the x-rayed political events in the country before, during and after the general elections.
Kwande said, “In the whole of the South-South, it was only former Governor Amaechi that stood with Buhari. He almost lost his life because of Buhari. Amaechi’s own people in the South-South did a lot of evil things to him, yet he stood with Buhari.
“Amaechi’s kinsmen, who are supporters of former President Goodluck Jonathan abused him and said all sort of things about him for not supporting Jonathan, but he stood his ground. He loves Northerners and we also love him.“Nigerians need to thank former Governor Amaechi for a job well done as the director-general of Buhari’s campaign. He is a God-fearing man and that was why Buhari made him the director-general of his campaign organization. We believe that Buhari will not forget Amaechi; he should treat Amaechi very well.”
He stated that Nigerians fulfilled their promise to Buhari, during the electioneering period and massively voted for him during the presidential election, adding that time has come for the President to do what he promised to Nigerians.
Kwande said, “Now, Amaechi has succeeded to return Buhari as President of the country; we are waiting to see what Buhari will do for Nigerians.”
