Ex Governor, Rotimi Amaechi
The group noted that the former governor deserved the appointment given his role in the emergence of the new dispensation.The national coordinator of the group, Clem Aguiyi, in a statement in Abuja said:
“Former Governor Amaechi worked tirelessly for this era including taking some personal risks. During the period we were opposed to each other and luckily for him his side won the election. If the President needs him as part of the cabinet’s team, his nomination should be allowed to go through. I don’t think President Buhari should be denied any tool he needs to work or be given an excuse to fail.”
Senator Sam Anyanwu, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, gave an update after the meeting on Monday, October 19, in Abuja. He disclosed that the body would submit its report on the petition against Amaechi’s nomination on Tuesday, October 20.
Momodu took to his twitter handle to shower praises on the former governor, highlighting his achievements.
