The Director General of the Bola Tinubu Campaign
Organization, Abdulmumin Jibrin has reacted after the Minister of
Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi ran round the Port Harcourt Stadium, in Rivers
State, before declaring his intention to run for the 2023 presidency on
Saturday.
Jibrin said although many people feel Amaechi was making a
mockery of the All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders, Abdullahi Adamu,
Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu, the Minister was only “trying to save time.”
Amaechi declared his intention to
run for the 2023 Presidency in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
The Minister returned to his home State, Rivers, where he
made the declaration at the Port-Harcourt stadium, during a Thanksgiving
service organized by the APC.
His declaration came after several pressure groups and
organisations had allegedly called on him to join the Presidential race.
Prior to his declaration, the Minister ran around the
stadium, in what is believed to be a show of physical fitness.
And Jibrin, in a tweet on Sunday, told those who feel
Amaechi was making mockery of Tinubu, Buhari and Adamu, who because of age and
frailty of health cannot stand such exercise, that the minister was only trying
to save time.
Most Nigerians are vehemently kicking against Tinubu’s
presidency, majorly because of his health issues.
The former Lagos State Governor is already frequenting the
United Kingdom for medical reasons.
Recall that the current President has also made the UK his
second home due to his frail health.
“It’s unfair to Minister Amaechi for some people to think
that by running round the stadium, he was trying to mock the age of incumbent
President Buhari, brand new APC Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu and incoming
president, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I believe he was only trying to save
time,” Jibrin wrote on Twitter.
By this particular tweet, however, many social media users
feel that Jibrin has indirectly mocked his principal, Tinubu, President Buhari
and his party’s national chairman, Adamu.
